Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash enables 15-second videos

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generates native videos of up to 15 seconds. The release offers conversational editing and improved visual consistency. Available via API and Gemini for Business.

The cost was cut by 30%, reaching US$ 0.07 per second at 720p. It is also available in Google AI Studio, Google Cloud and Google Vids. Video generation maintains consistency of characters, objects and scenes. Editing allows changes without a complete rebuild, with support for multiple reference layers. The release includes more natural dialogue generation. The previous version, Omni 1.1, already allowed video creation, but the new version improves visual consistency, reduces cost and adds features such as conversational editing and support for multiple animation layers.

The new version is an update to the Gemini Omni line, which was already used in Google Vids and other video generation services. Version 1.2 Flash offers a more accessible and efficient experience for content creators. Availability in Brazil has not yet been confirmed, but the version is available on global servers.

The price cut may attract more users, especially in scenarios where video generation is used frequently. Generating native 15-second videos is a novelty that may change the way content is created and edited. Video generation is done via API or Google Vids, without having to recreate all the content. This makes conversational editing easier, allowing users to adjust parts of the video without losing the cohesion of the scene. The version also supports multiple reference layers, which helps maintain the integrity of characters and scenes during editing.

The default resolution is 720p, which is enough for social media and ordinary video channels. The new version may be an alternative. The new version fixes these issues, offering a smoother and more efficient experience. Conversational editing, for example, lets creators work with content more intuitively, without having to recreate the entire video from scratch. In addition, support for multiple reference layers makes content generation more precise and versatile.

These improvements put Gemini Omni in competition with video tools already on the market, such as Blizzy, which allows editing without the need for a traditional timeline. The evolution of the Gemini Omni line reflects DeepMind's effort to make content creation more accessible and faster, something already explored with version 1.1, but now with more features and efficiency. The new version is also aligned with the movement to democratize digital content generation, something the company has highlighted in its recent announcements.

Multi-turn conversational editing and improved visual referencing allow the system to understand and maintain consistency between elements throughout the video, making it easier to create more cohesive narratives. This reduces the need for full re-creations, streamlining the production process and cutting operating costs. Support for multiple animation layers and the generation of more natural dialogue increase creative flexibility, allowing users to explore different levels of detail without compromising quality.
