Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, an updated generative AI video model that supports clips up to 15 seconds long, improved visual consistency, and more advanced editing capabilities. The company has reduced pricing by 30% compared with Gemini Omni 1.1, bringing the cost of generating 720p video to $0.07 per second.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available through the Gemini API and Gemini for business, with availability expanding across Google’s broader product ecosystem. The model was announced on November 5, 2026.
Users can specify video durations in one-second increments ranging from three to 15 seconds. At the stated 720p rate, a 15-second generation equates to $1.05. Google says the price is 30% lower than Gemini Omni 1.1.
The update introduces a workflow for drafting, editing and upscaling videos, allowing users to refine an existing clip through follow-up instructions. Users can replace a product or background, adjust lighting or weather, and change the aspect ratio without regenerating the entire video.
The workflow allows teams to draft at 360p or 720p, refine selected details and upscale chosen outputs to 1080p or 4K.
Generation can combine character, product and style images with audio cues and short motion references of up to three seconds. Google reports improvements in maintaining faces, clothing, packaging text and brand colors as the camera angle changes.
Google says the update reduces visual drift, including objects changing shape or appearance during motion and scene transitions. Dialogue generation also receives an update, with more natural speech, clearer lip-sync and better assignment of distinct voices to different characters.
Developers can prototype with the model in Google AI Studio and access it through the Gemini API. Businesses can use the Google Cloud console and build applications through the API.
For Google Vids, the company says users can generate 15-second clips at no additional cost with a Google account or Google Workspace subscription. Flow supports scene direction and conversational edits, while Google Ads provides a route for producing video campaigns.
Access through the Gemini app is rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers, where users will be able to create 15-second videos.
Google says generated outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark. Provisioned Throughput is also available through Google Cloud for organizations using the model at scale.
The company acknowledges that development is continuing on fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics.
The release extends native video generation from 10 seconds to 15 seconds and lowers the price for 720p video by 30%. The conversational editing workflow lets users refine clips without regenerating them entirely, and the model is designed to maintain consistency in faces, clothing, packaging text and brand colors across camera angles.
