Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash Now Generally Available with 15-Second Clips

What changed

Google DeepMind announced the general availability of Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, which includes native support for 15-second video creation, improved reference adherence, and enhanced editing capabilities. The model is now accessible via the Gemini API and Gemini for business, with pricing at $0.07 per second for 720p video, a 30% reduction from the previous version.

What this means in practice

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash allows users to generate and edit videos up to 15 seconds long, with the ability to specify durations in one-second increments from 3 to 15 seconds. This enables the creation of complete stories, product explainers, and social ad spots in a single generation. Users can also draft at 360p or 720p, make edits without re-generating the entire clip, and upscale to 1080p or 4K. The model maintains consistency across camera angles, ensuring that faces, garments, packaging typography, and brand colors remain uniform. Multi-turn conversational editing allows for refining clips turn by turn, such as swapping backgrounds or changing lighting, without starting over. Additionally, the model supports more natural-sounding dialogue, clearer lip-sync, and distinct multi-speaker conditioning.

Limitations and availability

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is now generally available through Google Cloud’s enterprise-grade infrastructure and security. It is accessible via the Gemini API, Google Cloud console, and Google apps like Flow and Google Vids. Provisioned Throughput is available, and outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark. The model is ideal for businesses, developers, and creators producing videos at scale. While development continues to improve features like fast sports action and complex physics, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is currently available for use.
