Here's a fascinating idea: what if we could use Gemini 3 Pro to watch a 6 minute video clip from a Russian television news broadcast featuring a Russian military blogger's deep dive into Russia's famed "Terminator" tank and ask it to turn the video walkthrough into a technical infographic? We provide Gemini 3 Pro with nothing more than an MP4 file and from this, Gemini listens and watches the entire clip, sifts through all of the various details and commentary and synthesizes the entire clip into a single illustrated infographic prompt for rendering with Nano Banana Pro that both captures the core details of the tank and various illustrates that weave it into a cohesive visual overview of the tank. No data was used to train or tune any model. From a video clip of a walkthrough of a tank on a news broadcast into an illustrated technical infographic detailing the tank's various specifications – that's incredible power.

We'll start by providing Gemini 3 Pro an MP4 version of the 6 minute clip and the following prompt.

Make a prompt to visualize this as a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached video as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the major themes and trends and findings. Focus on the combined story of the video. The poster should be entirely in English.

The resulting infographic prompt was fed to Nano Banana Pro for rendering in the following image:

The text rendering at top right of the poster is problematic, so let's rerender in 4K, which typically fixes text rendering issues:

This switched the poster to portrait orientation, so let's ask for landscape orientation. Unfortunately, this time the image is switched to having heavy amounts of text, the text is almost entirely illegible despite keeping 4K resolution, and the image-text associations become bizarre and unrelated to the actual text, such as crowd control fencing for events being used to illustrated the tank's combat capabilities.

Make it landscape orientation.

Let's clarify that we want to keep the original image, just reformat it. Unfortunately, the text is still entirely illegible and our image-text associations have not been fixed.

No, keep the original image, just reformat it to landscape orientation.

Let's try a different approach. We'll start with a fresh session and upload the original portrait orientation poster and prompt the model to reformat it. This time it correctly keeps the visuals and text and reformats things into the proper orientation. In fact, at first glance it looks like it actually did exactly what we  wanted. But a closer inspection of the text reveals that the text contains heavy legibility issues.

Reformat this infographic from portrait to landscape orientation. Keep all of the imagery and text, just change the orientation to landscape orientation.

Clearly we are not going to be able to reformat this poster into landscape orientation, so let's go back to our original textual prompt that was used to make the first poster and add the following instruction to the top. Let's start with 1K resolution. As expected, the text is illegible, but overall this poster does match the original, just in landscape orientation.

Make this image in landscape orientation.

Let's repeat, but in 4K resolution. This time, other than a sentence of illegible text at bottom left, the poster renders correctly. This tells us that we can render any poster in landscape orientation by simply adding an extra instruction to the start.

Let's also try making a new poster from scratch and requesting it in landscape orientation to see if that makes any difference in quality (using 4K resolution). This looks roughly equivalent to the original, suggesting there is not a major improvement by asking for a different orientation from the start.

Make a prompt to visualize this as a large illustrated explainer poster in landscape orientation designed to be printed on a large-format landscape orientation poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached video as a single large landscape orientation poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the major themes and trends and findings. Focus on the combined story of the video. The poster should be entirely in English and in landscape orientation.

Let's adjust our prompt slightly to ask for a more technical version:

Make a prompt to visualize this as a large illustrated explainer poster in landscape orientation designed to be printed on a large-format landscape orientation poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached video as a single large landscape orientation poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the major themes and trends and findings. Focus on the combined story of the video. The poster should be entirely in English and in landscape orientation. The poster should be a technical military-style glossy magazine poster from a defense magazine, but include all of the key technical details for a military planner, including precise specifications.

The resulting prompt was then rendered in a fresh session at 4K resolution with the following addition at the top of the prompt:

Make this in landscape format.

Let's try one more approach, this time aimed at a more military-style poster emphasizing specifications, which is rendered in 4K with an added landscape orientation request at the top of the prompt. This looks largely like the others, though interestingly it provides a claimed sequence of images showing the tank in deployment:

Make a prompt to visualize this as a large illustrated explainer poster in landscape orientation designed to be printed on a large-format landscape orientation poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached video as a single large landscape orientation poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the major themes and trends and findings. Focus on the combined story of the video. The poster should be entirely in English and in landscape orientation. The poster should be a US military-style technical poster with full specifications and information for military planners. Emphasize that the poster captures all of the technical detail contained in the broadcast.
