Picsart adds Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash for faster AI video drafts
Picsart has added Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash to its AI Playground, giving creators a workflow for testing video ideas at 360p before rendering selected takes at up to 4K. The company says the model is available now to more than 100 million Picsart creators.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is now available in Picsart AI Playground.
- Draft mode creates quick 360p versions before final rendering.
- Final output supports resolutions up to 4K.
- Clips can run from 3 to 15 seconds in 16:9 or 9:16.
- The model can use up to five image and three video references.
A two-stage workflow for AI video
The main addition is draft mode, which separates experimentation from final production. Creators can generate quick 360p versions of a concept, compare alternate openings or pacing, and send only the strongest take to a higher-resolution render.
Picsart recommends using 360p as a sketchpad for new ideas and 720p as the default for sharing cuts with clients or teammates. Finished social posts and ads can be rendered at 1080p, while 4K is intended for large screens and projects such as TV-ready drama episodes.
According to Picsart, several rough passes at 360p can cost less than one 4K render. The company advises creators not to render an idea at high resolution before it has survived a draft.
Longer clips and closer reference following
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash can generate clips of up to 15 seconds, compared with 10 seconds in the earlier version. Picsart says the added time leaves room for a fuller sequence of action rather than a short fragment.
The model also supports 4K output and is designed to follow image and video references more closely. Creators can attach as many as five image references and three video references. According to Picsart, this helps keep characters, outfits, products, props and logos consistent throughout a clip.
The company also highlights sharper on-screen text, along with characters that look and sound real. These capabilities are aimed at uses including title cards, captions, signage, product advertising and recurring characters in drama projects.
How creators can use the model in Picsart
To begin, users open Picsart AI Playground and select Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash from the model menu. They then choose a 16:9 widescreen or 9:16 vertical format, set a duration from 3 to 15 seconds, write a prompt and add any image or video references needed for consistency.
After several draft generations at 360p, the selected version can be rendered at 1080p or 4K. Generations use Picsart credits, and the cost appears before a generation runs.
Picsart presents the workflow for AI dramas, concept testing, ad variants, product spins, try-on clips and brand videos. For users, the practical change is the ability to explore more versions before spending credits on a finished render. For production teams, the model offers a way to take a concept from rough testing to a higher-resolution clip in the same tool.
