Google DeepMind launches Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on November 5, 2026, extending native AI video clip creation to 15 seconds while reducing generation costs by 30 percent to $0.07 per second for 720p resolution. The updated multimodal model introduces conversational editing capabilities and duration selection from three to 15 seconds, though Google notes ongoing limitations with complex physics and rapid sports action.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash launch
- ▪Google DeepMind released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, making the multimodal video generation and editing model generally available across Google Cloud, the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and related applications
- ▪All videos generated by Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark to indicate their AI origin
Video generation capabilities
- ▪Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash introduces video duration control, allowing users to generate clips in one-second increments between three and 15 seconds
- ▪Google DeepMind stated that Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash still experiences performance limitations with fast sports action, rapid script modifications, and complex physics
- ▪Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash increases maximum native video clip generation and editing length to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1 Flash
- ▪Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash supports conversational editing, enabling turn-by-turn modifications of background, lighting, aspect ratio, or specific details without regenerating the full clip
- ▪Google said Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash allows users to combine character, product, or style images with motion clips of up to three seconds to maintain visual consistency across camera transitions
Pricing reduction
- ▪Google Vids users can generate 15-second video clips using Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash at no additional cost
- ▪Google reduced pricing for Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash by 30 percent compared to Omni 1.1 Flash, setting the rate at $0.07 per second for 720p resolution video
- ▪A full 15-second 720p video clip generated using Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash costs approximately $1.05
Competitive model landscape
- ▪Google DeepMind's Veo 3.1 video model generates single video clips of four, six, or eight seconds, compared to the 15-second capability of Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
- ▪ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 model supports native single-clip generation up to 15 seconds, matching Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash's maximum clip duration
