Google's Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash makes AI video generation cheaper and more flexible
Google updates its Gemini Omni Flash video model to version 1.1. Scene extension now analyzes up to ten seconds of existing video instead of just the last second for more visually consistent results. Scenes can be extended in 10-second increments up to 40 seconds. Developers can upload up to three seconds of external footage as a style reference to carry over characters or motion patterns and set start and end frames to create camera movements between keyframes.
A 360p draft mode runs up to 60 percent faster at a third of the cost compared to 720p. Videos can be upscaled to 1080p or 4K. Per-second pricing comes in at $0.03 for 360p, $0.10 for 720p, $0.15 for 1080p, and $0.30 for 4K. Omni 1.1 is available through Google AI Studio and the developer docs.
