Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is now generally available through the Gemini API, Google Vids and Gemini for Business, offering native 15‑second video generation with selectable resolutions of 360p or 720p and optional upscaling to 1080p or 4K. Compared with version 1.1, clip length can be set in one‑second increments from 3 to 15 seconds and the price is cut by 30%, making 720p cost $0.07 per second. The model retains reference images, short motion clips (≤3 seconds) and audio cues more faithfully, keeping characters, garments, packaging and brand colors consistent across camera angles—ideal for virtual try‑ons, catalog spins and branded ads. Multi‑turn conversational editing lets you swap background, product, lighting or aspect ratio step‑by‑step on the same clip without re‑generating the whole video, dramatically speeding up iteration. The same workflow works for full‑length 15‑second ad variants. Speech synthesis sounds more natural with clearer lip‑sync and multi‑speaker conditioning. Camera moves such as continuous FPV fly‑throughs, smooth zooms and orbits are now achievable with far fewer jump cuts, giving a more cinematic look. Outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark and support enterprise‑grade provisioned throughput. Developers can prototype in Google AI Studio, explore interactive starter apps and read the documentation; businesses can call the API directly from the Cloud console; everyday users can edit scenes and run multi‑turn edits in Flow, generate 15‑second clips at no extra cost in Google Vids, or create videos in the Gemini app.
Review: This release markedly improves flexibility and cost efficiency for video generation, making it well‑suited for large‑scale marketing and creative production.
