Google GenAI Media Services — Full Integration Guide

Last verified: February 2026
SDK: google-genai (unified, replaces legacy google-generativeai which EOL'd Nov 2025)
Docs: https://googleapis.github.io/python-genai/ | https://docs.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/models

1. SDK Setup (Always Start Here)

Installation
bash
pip install google-genai # Core SDK
pip install google-genai[aiohttp] # For async support
pip install pillow # For image display/saving
⚠️ Never use google-generativeai (legacy, EOL November 30, 2025). Always use google-genai.
Client Initialization

Gemini Developer API (AI Studio — easiest for prototyping):

python
from google import genai
# Option A: pass key directly
client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")
# Option B: use env var (recommended)
# export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key
client = genai.Client()

Vertex AI (enterprise, required for image editing & upscaling):

python
from google import genai
from google.genai.types import HttpOptions
# Option A: code-level
client = genai.Client(
vertexai=True,
project="your-gcp-project-id",
location="us-central1"
)
# Option B: env vars (recommended for CI/CD)
# export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
# export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id
# export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1
client = genai.Client(http_options=HttpOptions(api_version="v1"))

Authentication for Vertex AI:

bash
gcloud auth application-default login
# OR for service accounts:
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json

3. Image Generation with Imagen 4

Text-to-Image (Basic)
python
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
client = genai.Client() # or Vertex AI client
response = client.models.generate_images(
model="imagen-4.0-generate-001",
prompt="A golden retriever puppy playing in autumn leaves, soft morning light",
config=types.GenerateImagesConfig(
number_of_images=4, # 1–4
aspect_ratio="16:9", # "1:1", "9:16", "4:3", "3:4", "16:9"
output_mime_type="image/jpeg",
include_rai_reason=True, # include safety filter reason if blocked
person_generation="allow_adult", # "allow_all", "allow_adult", "dont_allow"
safety_filter_level="block_medium_and_above",
enhance_prompt=True, # auto-enhance prompt quality
),
)
for i, img in enumerate(response.generated_images):
img.image.save(f"output_{i}.jpg")
# or img.image.show() to display inline
Save Image to File (PIL)
python
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
import base64
# If response returns bytes:
pil_image = Image.open(BytesIO(response.generated_images[0].image._image_bytes))
pil_image.save("output.png")
Image Upscaling (Vertex AI only)
python
# Must use Vertex AI client
response_upscaled = client.models.upscale_image(
model="imagen-4.0-upscale-preview",
image=response.generated_images[0].image,
upscale_factor="x2", # "x2" or "x4"
config=types.UpscaleImageConfig(
include_rai_reason=True,
output_mime_type="image/jpeg",
),
)
response_upscaled.generated_images[0].image.save("upscaled.jpg")

4. Image Editing with Imagen (Vertex AI Only)

All editing operations require a Vertex AI client and imagen-3.0-capability-001.

Inpainting — Insert into Masked Region
python
from google.genai.types import RawReferenceImage, MaskReferenceImage
# Load source image
with open("source.jpg", "rb") as f:
image_bytes = f.read()
raw_ref = RawReferenceImage(
reference_id=1,
reference_image=types.Image(image_bytes=image_bytes, mime_type="image/jpeg"),
)
mask_ref = MaskReferenceImage(
reference_id=2,
config=types.MaskReferenceConfig(
mask_mode="MASK_MODE_BACKGROUND", # auto-mask background
mask_dilation=0,
),
)
response = client.models.edit_image(
model="imagen-3.0-capability-001",
prompt="Replace background with a tropical beach at sunset",
reference_images=[raw_ref, mask_ref],
config=types.EditImageConfig(
edit_mode="EDIT_MODE_INPAINT_INSERTION",
number_of_images=2,
include_rai_reason=True,
output_mime_type="image/jpeg",
),
)
response.generated_images[0].image.save("edited.jpg")
Mask Modes
mask_modeBehavior
MASK_MODE_BACKGROUNDAuto-mask the background
MASK_MODE_FOREGROUNDAuto-mask the foreground subject
MASK_MODE_SEMANTICMask by semantic segment (e.g., "sky")
MASK_MODE_USER_PROVIDEDUse your own binary mask image
Edit Modes
edit_modeBehavior
EDIT_MODE_INPAINT_INSERTIONGenerate content inside the mask
EDIT_MODE_INPAINT_REMOVALRemove masked content, fill naturally
EDIT_MODE_OUTPAINTExtend image beyond borders
EDIT_MODE_BGSWAPFull background replacement
EDIT_MODE_PRODUCT_IMAGEProduct recontext (background scenes)

5. Video Generation with Veo

⚠️ Cost warning: Veo is significantly more expensive than image generation. Always check current pricing at https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/pricing before running in production.

Video generation is asynchronous — submit a job, then poll until complete.

Text-to-Video (Basic)
python
import time
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
client = genai.Client(vertexai=True, project="your-project", location="us-central1")
# Submit generation job
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
model="veo-3.0-generate-001",
prompt="A time-lapse of a city skyline from dawn to dusk, cinematic 4K quality",
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
number_of_videos=1,
duration_seconds=8, # 5–8 seconds typically
aspect_ratio="16:9", # "16:9" or "9:16"
resolution="1080p", # "720p" or "1080p" (Veo 3 preview)
enhance_prompt=True,
output_gcs_uri="gs://your-bucket/video-outputs/", # optional GCS output
),
)
# Poll until done
while not operation.done:
time.sleep(20)
operation = client.operations.get(operation)
# Access result
video = operation.response.generated_videos[0].video
video.save("output.mp4")
Image-to-Video
python
import base64
with open("start_frame.jpg", "rb") as f:
image_b64 = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
model="veo-3.1-generate-preview",
prompt="The cat slowly turns its head and yawns",
image=types.Image(
image_bytes=base64.b64decode(image_b64),
mime_type="image/jpeg",
),
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
number_of_videos=1,
duration_seconds=6,
aspect_ratio="16:9",
),
)
while not operation.done:
time.sleep(20)
operation = client.operations.get(operation)
operation.response.generated_videos[0].video.save("animated.mp4")
Video Extension (Veo 2 — Vertex AI)
python
# Extend an existing video by providing it as input
video_input = types.Video(uri="gs://your-bucket/existing-video.mp4")
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
model="veo-2.0-generate-001",
prompt="Continue the scene as the character walks into the building",
video=video_input,
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
number_of_videos=1,
duration_seconds=5,
),
)
Advanced Video Controls (Veo 3.1)
python
# First frame + last frame control
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
model="veo-3.1-generate-preview",
prompt="Camera pushes through the forest canopy",
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
number_of_videos=1,
duration_seconds=8,
# Reference images for first/last frame control
reference_images=[
types.ReferenceImage(
reference_id=1,
reference_image=first_frame_image,
config=types.ReferenceImageConfig(
reference_type="REFERENCE_TYPE_FIRST_FRAME"
),
),
types.ReferenceImage(
reference_id=2,
reference_image=last_frame_image,
config=types.ReferenceImageConfig(
reference_type="REFERENCE_TYPE_LAST_FRAME"
),
),
],
),
)
Note: Style images with referenceImages.style require veo-2.0-generate-exp — Veo 3.1 does NOT support style reference images.

6. Gemini Multimodal Image Generation (Chat-based)

Gemini image models allow iterative edit-in-conversation workflows.

python
from google import genai
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
client = genai.Client()
# Create a chat session for iterative editing
chat = client.chats.create(model="gemini-2.5-flash-image")
# Generate initial image
response = chat.send_message(
"Create a photorealistic image of a cozy coffee shop interior at night, warm lighting"
)
# Parse response parts (text + image)
for part in response.candidates[0].content.parts:
if part.text:
print(part.text)
elif part.inline_data:
img = part.as_image()
img.save("coffee_shop.png")
# Iteratively edit
response2 = chat.send_message("Add a cat sleeping on one of the chairs")
for part in response2.candidates[0].content.parts:
if part.inline_data:
part.as_image().save("coffee_shop_v2.png")

7. Async Usage

python
import asyncio
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
async def generate_async():
client = genai.Client() # uses aiohttp if installed
response = await client.aio.models.generate_images(
model="imagen-4.0-generate-001",
prompt="A futuristic city at dusk",
config=types.GenerateImagesConfig(number_of_images=2),
)
return response.generated_images
asyncio.run(generate_async())

8. GCS Output Pattern (Production)

For production workflows, always write outputs to GCS rather than returning bytes:

python
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
model="veo-3.0-generate-001",
prompt="...",
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
output_gcs_uri="gs://your-bucket/outputs/",
number_of_videos=2,
),
)
# Response contains GCS URIs
for video in operation.response.generated_videos:
print(video.video.uri) # e.g., gs://your-bucket/outputs/sample_0.mp4

9. Safety & Content Filters
