Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: Fast and cost-effective with longer clips

Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available across the Gemini API and Gemini for business, cutting the price 30% from Gemini Omni 1.1 to $0.07 per second for 720p video. The model adds native video generation and editing up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1, with duration settable in one-second increments from 3 to 15 seconds, plus multi-turn conversational editing and stronger reference adherence for characters, products, and styles. Google said the workflow lets users draft at 360p or 720p, fix details with follow-up edits instead of regenerating clips, and upscale final output to 1080p or 4K.

Today, we’re rolling out Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, and making it generally available across the Gemini API and Gemini for business. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash introduces native 15-second video creation, multi-turn conversational editing capabilities, and enhanced reference following. We have dropped the price 30% from Gemini Omni 1.1 making it available at $0.07 per second for 720p video.

Here’s an overview of what’s new:

Fast and cost-effective at scale #

Beyond the lower price, the workflow keeps costs down: you can draft fast at 360p or 720p, fix a detail with a follow-up edit instead of re-generating the entire clip, and then upscale your best creations to 1080p or 4K.

Longer clips up to 15 seconds #

You can now generate and edit videos natively up to 15 seconds long, up from 10 seconds with Omni 1.1. You can also specify duration in one-second increments from 3 to 15 seconds, giving you room to tell complete stories, create product explainers, or produce full social ad spots in a single generation.

Better reference adherence #

You can guide generation combining character, product, or style images, short motion clips (up to three seconds), and audio cues — and Omni 1.2 Flash holds onto those details from start to finish. Faces, garments, packaging typography, and brand colors stay consistent across camera angles, making it easy to turn existing product photography or character sheets into virtual try-on clips, catalog spins, and branded video ads.

Combining one model photo with front-and-back product shots of three outfits, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generates a 15-second virtual try-on sequence across 360-degree turns and match cuts while keeping the model’s identity and each garment’s cut, drape, and back details consistent.

More consistent results #

You can maintain stronger character, object, and scene consistency from the first to the last frame, with less visual drift or morphing across motion and camera transitions. Whether you’re interpolating between a first and last keyframe, or extending a clip to build a longer sequence, products, characters, props, and environments stay consistent from shot to shot.

Given the same static studio lighting exhibition poster and five-layer animation prompt, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash does not match the reference image as closely as 1.2 does. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash builds the poster sequentially layer by layer on the dusty-pink cyclorama rising the hexagonal plinth, assembling the ribbed glass, warm filament, faceted crystal, and coiled-cord letterforms for HALO, GLOW, and LUMEN, and locking every material, shadow, and typographic detail consistently through the final frame.

Easier editing in conversation #

You can refine the same clip turn by turn — such as swapping a product or background, changing the lighting or weather, or switching the aspect ratio — instead of starting over from scratch. Multi-turn conversational editing works across full 15-second clips, making it easy to produce ad variants for different audiences and placements without re-briefing or re-generating.

Starting from one generated clip, multi-turn conversational prompts swap the background turn by turn — from a striped pavilion tent to an oak forest, a stable with a white horse, a market fair, and a stone castle — while keeping both characters’ performances, armor reflections, and camera framing intact.

More natural speech #

You can generate scenes with more fluid, natural-sounding dialogue, clearer lip-sync, and distinct multi-speaker conditioning. This will show up whether you’re directing multi-character dialogue in Flow, creating video explainers in Gemini for business, or creating polished, pro videos with avatars, music and narration in Google Vids.

Conditioned on one conservatory scene image alongside four character, mouth, and one-second voice references, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash routes each sampled voice to the right character with expressive lip-sync and natural comedic timing across a 15-second animated scene.

More controllable, cinematic look #

You can direct complex, continuous camera movements like sweeping FPV flythroughs to dramatic zoom-outs and orbits with significantly fewer unwanted jump cuts, steadier scale, and a more polished, cinematic look.

Guided by two architectural reference photos, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash directs one continuous FPV drone flight across the piazza, through the bronze doors, and up through the Pantheon’s coffered dome to the oculus with zero jump cuts.

Longer clips with smoother motion and tighter consistency #

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generates clips up to 15 seconds long that hold references together better than before. You can scroll through to see characters, text, and camera moves stay consistent across longer shots, multiple turns and transitions with no cuts.

Real-world results, from creatives to global brands #

Businesses, startups, and creatives are already using Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash in their workflows. And for the first time, Gemini Omni is now generally available, backed by Google Cloud’s enterprise-grade infrastructure and security. Provisioned Throughput is available, and outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark.
