About this event

The Vibe Effect workshop introduces a modern workflow that uses AI prompting to draft video effects in seconds. You will learn how to bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution by using the Gemini SDK to generate shader code, then applying it to video files using Jetpack Media3 editing APIs.

Prerequisites & Target Audience

This is an advanced-level Android workshop designed for active Android developers.

Participants are expected to have the following prior knowledge and setup completed before the workshop:

  • Android Studio installed and fully set up ((Ladybug or newer))

  • JDK / Android SDK properly configured

  • Working experience with Kotlin for Android development

  • Ability to clone, build, and run Android projects independently

Due to limited workshop time, environment setup and Android basics will not be covered.
The session will focus entirely on hands-on development, covering real-world Android media pipelines, OpenGL-based shader effects, AI-assisted effect generation, and practical integration with Jetpack Media3 Transformer and editing APIs. Participants will work directly with code to build, customize, and apply video effects, gaining a deep understanding of how Generative AI, graphics shaders, and modern Android media tooling come together in production-ready workflows.
