Google has made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available, and it now generates and edits video up to 15 seconds long, up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1. Google also cut the price 30%, to $0.07 per second for 720p video.
For anyone who has been rationing short clips to keep a bill down, that changes the math. Whether you can use it from the Gemini app today depends on your plan, though, and that part is less open than the headline suggests.
TL;DR: Google’s Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash stretches AI video clips to 15 seconds and drops the API price to $0.07 per second at 720p. It is live in Google AI Studio, Google Cloud, Flow and Google Vids. In the Gemini app, 15-second video is only rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers for now.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash adds five seconds, and that matters
Google says you can now generate and edit videos natively up to 15 seconds long, and you can set the length anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds in one second steps.
With a 10 second ceiling, a simple product shot or a short dialogue scene often meant stitching two clips and hoping the lighting matched. One 15 second take removes that seam.
Editing is conversational too. Google’s post describes swapping a product or background, changing lighting or weather, or changing aspect ratio without regenerating the clip from scratch. That also hints at how the model will get used in practice, as a revise loop rather than a one shot prompt.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash pricing at $0.07 per second
Google says it dropped the price 30% from Omni 1.1, which puts 720p video at $0.07 per second. By simple arithmetic, a full 15 second clip at 720p comes to about $1.05.
Google suggests drafting at 360p or 720p, fixing details with follow up edits, and only then upscaling to 1080p or 4K. Provisioned Throughput is available for enterprise customers.
The cheap draft step is the sensible part of the pitch. Paying for a 4K render of a clip you will throw away is the quickest way to burn through a budget.
Where you can use Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash today
Google lists Google AI Studio and the Gemini API for developers, plus the Google Cloud console for businesses. Creators can reach it in Flow from Google Labs, and Google Ads can use it through Asset Studio.
The most accessible route is Google Vids, where Google says you can generate 15 second clips at no additional cost with a Google account or Google Workspace subscription. If you want a running list of which Gemini models are current, the AI model tracker keeps it in one place.
In the Gemini app, 15 second video is rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers. Google’s post does not list country by country availability, so US readers should treat the rollout timing as open.
What Google says still needs work
Google is candid that development continues on fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics. Anyone hoping to generate a convincing basketball highlight should keep expectations modest.
Outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark. How that interacts with visible labels is covered in our look at the Gemini watermark toggle.
Who should try the new model first
If you already use Google Vids or Flow, the upgrade costs nothing extra and the longer clip is worth testing this week. Developers will care more about the 30% price cut, which matters most when you iterate dozens of times per scene.
Gemini app users below the Ultra tier will have to wait for Google to widen the rollout.
