Google launches Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, generating 15-second video clips

Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, an updated version of its video generation model. The company said the model is now generally available through the Gemini API and Gemini for business. It can create and edit continuous video clips of up to 15 seconds.

According to Google, users can produce draft videos at 360p or 720p, priced at $0.07 per second. Final outputs can be upscaled to 1080p or 4K. Compared with the earlier Gemini Omni 1.1, the new version adds native support for generating and editing video, which the company says makes longer clips possible.

Access for developers and businesses

Developers can reach the model through the Gemini API and begin testing it in Google AI Studio. Enterprise customers can reach it through Google Cloud. The launch is aimed at both independent builders and companies that want to add video features to their products.

The model's editing tools are conversational, which means users can change a clip by describing the change in plain language. Google has not said how many people or companies are already using the model. It has also not shared independent benchmark results comparing its output quality with rival video tools.

Google's rollout follows a steady series of updates to its Gemini Omni line. The 15-second limit is the main change for users who want longer clips than earlier versions allowed.

What it means for users in India

For Indian developers and startups, the per-second pricing sets a clear cost for testing video features. Draft clips at the lower resolution are cheaper to produce, and higher-resolution output is available when a project needs it. Indian businesses using Google Cloud can access the model through their existing setup.

What is not yet known is how the model performs on real projects outside Google's own demonstrations. Google has not said whether the model will reach its consumer apps, or when prices might change.
