The app that powers the camera is getting the ability to edit videos shot on it using generative AI, building on a feature that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/3810641278\/camera-intelligence-caira\/\">allowed you to make similar adjustments to your photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company says the feature will support a few types of edits: \u201crelighting\u201d footage (making a video shot at noon look like it was taken at golden hour, for instance), reframing it, emulating a camera motion like a tilt or pan and \u201cset extension,\u201d which the company says lets you \u201cextend the world by 10 seconds beyond what was filmed on location.\u201d The options are presented as templates that you can pick from, though there is a chatbot that you can use to give additional input; for example, you can use it to tell the AI that the \u201corbit\u201d camera move should be centered around a specific person in the shot.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?original\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-dominant-color=\"595c52\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #595c52;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-destinationlink=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?original\" data-event=\"clickable_image\" height=\"1013\" width=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?w=1920\" alt=\"A screenshot showing the Caira's AI video editing UI.\" class=\"wp-image-672567 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png 4096w, https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?resize=300,158 300w, https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?resize=650,343 650w, https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?resize=768,405 768w, https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?resize=1920,1013 1920w, https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?resize=1536,810 1536w, https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/m_camera_intelligence_ai_video_editing.png?resize=2048,1080 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/a><span class=\"wp-block-image__credit\">Camera Intelligence<\/span><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Caira shoots at up to 4K, though the clips produced by the generative AI are limited to 720 or 1080. The tool can use Google\u2019s Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model, or Runway\u2019s Aleph 2.0, and gives you the option to select which one you\u2019d like before setting it to work. The company says it takes one to three minutes to produce a finished video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camera Intelligence stresses that the tool can only be used to edit existing footage that you took with the camera, not create something entirely new. It\u2019ll keep your original footage, and the generated file will have a Google SynthID watermark. The company says it started work on the feature after surveying 111 Kickstarter backers<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-500-color\">*<\/mark> and hearing from 77% of them that they\u2019d like the feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Caira | The First Mirrorless Camera with Gemini Omni 1.1 Built In\" width=\"1778\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/77yGvU99P7Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a press release, it says the feature is designed for \u201csolo creators\u00a0and marketers who may not have the budget to commission this work and who are often overwhelmed\u00a0by pro editing tools \u2013 but who are excited by these technologies and what they make possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generating video, like generating images, isn\u2019t particularly cheap. The company says the feature will be available \u201calongside Generative Image Editing and a yet-to-be-announced feature\u201d as part of Caira Studio, which is launching later this year. Pricing hasn\u2019t been announced yet, but the company has made it clear from the start that generative editing features would require a subscription. The Kickstarter page promised that the \u201cCaira Pro\u201d plan would be $7 a month, but that only included stills editing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camera Intelligence says the generative video editing feature will only be available in the US and UK.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>I understand why the company is pitching this as a prototyping tool<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watching the samples that Camera Intelligence included in its announcement video, I understand why the company is pitching this as a prototyping tool \u2013 something you can use to see if a shot will work before actually trying to capture it \u2013 rather than something you\u2019d use to produce final footage. While the company says the Omni model is \u201cphysics-aware and remembers the scene across an entire clip,\u201d if you look close you can definitely still see some AI artifacting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a data-ctatext=\"Click to read our Caira review\" data-destinationlink=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/reviews\/caira-review-the-clever-connected-ai-camera-still-has-a-lot-to-learn\/\" data-event=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/reviews\/caira-review-the-clever-connected-ai-camera-still-has-a-lot-to-learn\/\">Click to read our Caira review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the model produced perfect footage, this still isn\u2019t the kind of tool I\u2019d like to use. But it doesn\u2019t surprise me that the people who initially backed the camera based on the pitch of its AI capabilities are interested in it, and it seems like a natural extension of the work Camera Intelligence was already doing. I\u2019m just not sure this feature will entice anyone else to buy the Caira if they weren\u2019t already sold, or demand that the traditional camera makers start building something similar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-500-color\">* Speaking of those backers, the company says it\u2019s \u201cdelivered the majority of Kickstarter units\u201d of the Caira and is delivering the outstanding ones on a monthly basis.<\/mark><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-author-biography\"><span class=\"wp-block-post-author-biography__label\">About the Author: <\/span>Mitchell started taking pictures at 10 and hasn\u2019t stopped since.
