Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: 15-second AI video, 30% cheaper

Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available on 5 November 2026. The new video model makes clips of 3 to 15 seconds (up from a 10-second maximum), costs $0.07 per second at 720p — about 30% less than Omni 1.1 Flash — and lets you change a finished clip's background, lighting or aspect ratio in a conversation instead of generating it again.

What's new in Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash?

Omni 1.2 Flash is Google's faster, cheaper video model, and this update targets the things that make AI video hard to use for brands. According to Google's announcement, as reported by The Decoder:

• Length: any duration from 3 to 15 seconds, so one clip can now hold a full short ad
• Drafts, then upscale: work in 360p or 720p, then upscale only the final take to 1080p or 4K
• Consistency: faces, clothing, packaging typography and brand colours should stay stable, with less drift or morphing
• Camera: continuous moves such as FPV drone flights or big zoom-outs, with fewer unwanted jump cuts
• Dialogue: more natural speech, clearer lip-sync and better handling of several speakers

References and conversational editing

The model builds a clip from references: character images, product photos, short motion clips of up to three seconds and audio cues. Google's own example is a 15-second virtual try-on made from one model photo and three outfit product shots.

The bigger change is editing. With "Conversational Editing" you can ask for a new background, different lighting or another aspect ratio, and the model changes the clip across the full 15 seconds without regenerating everything.

Price and where to try it

Google lists $0.07 per second for 720p video, so a 15-second 720p draft costs about $1.05 at that rate. Omni 1.2 Flash is in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, the Google Cloud Console, Flow, Google Vids, Google Ads and the Gemini app, where 15-second clips are for Google AI Ultra subscribers.

Every generated video carries an invisible SynthID watermark that marks it as AI-made. Some reports also mention Gemini for business; check your own account before you plan around it.

How brands and creators can use it

Treat Omni 1.2 Flash as a fast drafting and versioning tool:

• Product try-ons and demos — one product photo plus a model photo, then check the packaging text frame by frame.
• One spot, many formats — make the 16:9 master, then ask for the 9:16 version in the same chat.
• Draft cheap, finish once — compare a few 720p takes and upscale only the winner.
• Plan the camera — name the move you want; our camera moves glossary has 12 to pick from.

These are Google's claims for now, so test on your own product before committing a campaign: logos and small text are still where AI video slips first.
