Google releases Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash video model with 15-second clips and 30% lower pricing

On November 5 (US time) Google released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a video generation and editing model now generally available in the Gemini API, Google Cloud and Gemini for business. Native clips grow from a 10-second maximum in Omni 1.1 to 15 seconds, selectable in one-second steps from 3 to 15; multi-turn conversational editing changes background, lighting or aspect ratio without regenerating the clip; and the model can combine character, product or style images, motion clips of up to three seconds and audio cues while keeping faces, garments and brand elements consistent across shots. 720p costs $0.07 per second, 30% less than Omni 1.1, and drafts at 360p or 720p can be upscaled to 1080p or 4K. According to The Decoder it is also rolling out in AI Studio, Flow, Google Vids, Google Ads and the Gemini app for AI Ultra subscribers, with SynthID watermarks on every clip.
