Google launches Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash for 15-second video clips

Google DeepMind has made its Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash video-generation model generally available. The model produces clips from three to 15 seconds, extending the previous 10-second limit, and costs $0.07 per second for 720p video, 30 percent less than its predecessor. It is being offered through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Google Cloud Console, Flow, Google Vids, Google Ads, and the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers. Each generated video includes an imperceptible SynthID watermark.

The model supports what Google calls Conversational Editing, allowing users to modify a clip through successive prompts. Changes can include the background, lighting, and aspect ratio across the full 15-second sequence, without regenerating the entire video. Google describes a workflow in which drafts are made at 360p or 720p, specific details are corrected, and the final version is upscaled to 1080p or 4K.

Google also says the model better preserves characters, clothing, packaging text, and brand colors from reference images. It accepts product photos, character images, motion clips of up to three seconds, and audio cues. The company reports improved visual continuity, lip-sync, multi-speaker dialogue, and complex camera movement, with fewer unwanted jump cuts.
