Google's Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash extends AI video clips to 15 seconds and cuts pricing by 30 percent

Google DeepMind is making its Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash video-generation model generally available. The updated model can create clips up to 15 seconds long, supports conversational editing, and costs 30 percent less than its predecessor. Every generated video also carries an imperceptible SynthID watermark.

Availability and pricing

Google says Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is rolling out through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, the Google Cloud Console, Flow, Google Vids, the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers, and Google Ads. Clips can now run between three and 15 seconds, up from a maximum of 10 seconds previously. Pricing drops 30 percent to $0.07 per second for 720p video.

Conversational editing

Generated clips can be edited through an ongoing conversation. Users can tweak a generated clip step by step, changing the background, lighting, or aspect ratio without regenerating the entire clip. Google says this works across the full 15-second length. Paired with a tiered workflow, the feature is supposed to cut costs: drafts are first created at 360p or 720p, individual details are corrected with a follow-up edit, and only the final result is upscaled to 1080p or 4K.

Reference adherence and consistency

Google also promises significantly better reference adherence. The model can take character images, product photos, short motion clips of up to three seconds, and audio cues as inputs. Faces, clothing, packaging typography, and brand colors are supposed to stay consistent across different camera angles. As an example, Google shows a virtual try-on clip: from a single model photo and product shots of three outfits, the model generates a 15-second sequence with 360-degree turns while preserving the model's identity and each garment's cut and drape. Overall visual consistency is said to have improved as well, with less visual drift or morphing across motion and camera transitions than with the predecessor.

Audio and camera movement

Beyond that, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is supposed to produce more fluid, natural-sounding dialogue with clearer lip-sync and the ability to distinguish between multiple speakers. The model further handles complex, continuous camera movements such as FPV drone flights or dramatic zoom-outs, with significantly fewer unwanted jump cuts.
