- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available on Google Cloud.
- 720p video costs $0.07 per second, 30% less than Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash.
- The model generates and edits clips of up to 15 seconds.
- Drafts can be created at 360p or 720p and upscaled to 1080p or 4K.
- Access is available through Google Cloud, Google Vids and the API, with Gemini for business coming soon.
Lower pricing, longer clips and more controlled edits
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is designed for businesses producing videos in volume, including product videos, virtual try-ons and advertisements. Google Cloud says the model costs $0.07 per second for 720p video, which is 30% less than Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, with similar savings at other resolutions.
Users can now generate and edit clips of up to 15 seconds, compared with 10 seconds previously. The model is also intended to follow image and video references more closely, helping keep products, characters and brand details consistent from shot to shot.
Creators can make drafts at 360p or 720p before upscaling selected results to 1080p or 4K. They can also refine the same clip in a conversation, such as by swapping a product, changing lighting or adjusting the camera angle, rather than starting over. Google says the model supports more fluid dialogue, clearer lip-sync and distinct multi-speaker conditioning. Audio references are gated behind allowlisting.
Built for production and integrated into creative tools
Google Cloud describes Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash as production-ready and says it is backed by its enterprise-grade infrastructure and security. The model offers Provisioned Throughput, and its outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark.
Developers can access the model through the Google Cloud console and API. Business users can create with it in Google Vids, where teams can combine generated clips with avatars, music and voiceover for product explainers, teasers, social posts and sales pitches. Google says the capability is coming soon to Gemini for business, where users will be able to create a short video from a prompt or product photo in the chat.
Design and creative platforms using the model include Artlist, FLORA, invideo, Krea, Picsart and Runway. Retail and marketplace applications include product spins, lifestyle clips, try-on videos and video ads. Photoroom says it uses Gemini Omni Flash for its Video Ad Maker and Product Animator, while QuickFrame AI says the 15-second generation capability can produce a complete CTV ad in a single generation.
What general availability means for users
The launch gives businesses a production-focused option for creating and revising short marketing videos while retaining more control over references and individual edits. The combination of shorter draft workflows, longer clips and output options up to 4K is aimed at teams that need to move from concepts to finished content without recreating each version from scratch.
Google Cloud's customer comments also point to use across professional production, retail advertising and creative collaboration. Artlist said the model helps customers move “from experimentation to professional content production at scale,” while Photoroom said general availability and SLAs allow it to rely on the model in production for sellers and enterprise customers.
