Google's Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash Makes 15-Second AI Videos for About a Buck

 

Google rolled out Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on November 5, 2026, generally available across the Gemini API and Gemini for business. It is Google's video-generation and editing model, and this update makes AI video longer, cheaper, and easier to steer.

Longer Clips: 15 Seconds, Your Way

Clips now run natively up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1. You can pick any length from 3 to 15 seconds in one-second steps, so a complete story, product explainer, or social ad can come out of a single generation instead of stitching short clips together.

Cheaper: About a Dollar a Clip

Google cut the price 30% from Omni 1.1, to $0.07 per second of 720p video. A full 15-second clip works out to about $1.05. You can draft at 360p or 720p and upscale to 1080p or 4K.

Edit by Chatting

The model adds multi-turn conversational editing — describe the change in plain words and it revises the clip — plus stronger consistency and better following of reference images and video. It is available in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Google Cloud Console, Flow, Google Vids, the Gemini app (rolling out gradually to Google AI Ultra subscribers), and Google Ads. In Google Vids, 15-second clips cost nothing extra with a Google account or Workspace subscription.

Why It Matters

AI video is crossing from novelty into a real production tool: longer clips plus chat-style editing plus a price near a dollar a clip means small creators and small businesses can now make video that used to need a shoot. Every clip carries Google's invisible SynthID watermark so it can be identified as AI-made. Note for developers: Omni 1.1 stays available during a four-week transition, and on December 3, 2026 API requests to 1.1 will automatically route to 1.2 at the lower price.
