A strong generated image or video starts with choices: what the scene should communicate, which details must stay consistent and what needs changing after the first result. Generate and Edit Media in Agent Platform approaches those choices through Google’s Nano Banana and Veo media-generation tools.
This Intermediate course combines image prompting, video techniques and editing with a multi-tool workflow. The instruction is advertised as free on Google Skills. It is useful for creative learners who want to understand how these capabilities fit together before using a live generation service. Its combined approach is useful when you want to develop a consistent visual idea across several outputs.

Separate the creative brief from the tool settings
The image section introduces Nano Banana, prompt engineering and editing, then includes a demonstration and a quiz. A useful way to follow it is to distinguish what you want the picture to communicate from the method used to request it. Subject, composition and continuity are creative decisions; a model interface provides one way of expressing them.
The video section introduces Veo, prompt best practices and additional techniques. Later instruction brings Gemini, Veo and Nano Banana together, including an end-to-end demonstration that still uses Vertex AI naming. The current course title refers to Agent Platform, while some lesson interfaces retain earlier product terminology; treat those demonstrations as context rather than a guarantee that every current screen is identical.
Study consistency before producing a whole campaign
For an optional paper exercise, write a small fictional campaign brief with three linked scenes. Define the visual elements that should remain consistent, the detail that changes in each scene and the message each output should convey. Then note which requests belong to image generation, editing or video development. This planning task does not require paid model use.
When reviewing an actual generated asset, assess more than visual impact. Check whether the result fits the brief, contains misleading details or uses material you have no right to publish. Keep sensitive information out of prompts unless you have an appropriate basis for processing it. A responsible review keeps those considerations visible alongside the creative brief.
For learners ready to compare workflows
The Intermediate label makes sense if you already understand basic prompting and want to connect several media capabilities. Beginners can still use the demonstrations to learn terminology, but a little experience writing a visual brief will help. Use the sequence to improve the precision of a creative brief and the consistency of your review.
Free learning and practical access
The course’s web lessons, demonstrations, quizzes and resources are advertised as free instruction, accessed with a free Google Skills account. Its Nano Banana image-generation lab is separate. Using model APIs, generation services or enterprise interfaces can involve product entitlements, quotas or charges; free instruction does not imply unlimited free image or video production.
Any provider badge depends on its required activities and access conditions. A free badge, professional certification or academic credit is not promised.

Frequently asked questions
Does this course teach both images and video?
Yes. The reviewed curriculum covers Nano Banana image generation and editing, Veo video prompting and a combined workflow involving Gemini. Its demonstrations explain the approach; live generation access is a separate practical consideration.
Why do some lessons mention Vertex AI instead of Agent Platform?
The current course title uses Agent Platform, while an end-to-end demonstration in the reviewed curriculum retains Vertex AI naming. The course contains that naming transition; interface details may differ from the product you currently use.
Are free generated media and a badge included?
The free access covers instruction. Model usage and hands-on work have separate conditions. Any badge depends on Google’s completion rules and is not guaranteed free for instruction alone; no professional certification or academic credit is promised.
