Google Releases Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: 15-Second AI Video at $0.07 per Second

Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash , the newest version of its video generation and editing model. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generates and edits clips up to 15 seconds natively. It also cuts the price by 30% compared with Omni 1.1 Flash. The model is generally available on Google Cloud and the Gemini API . For developers, the takeaways are longer clips, fewer re-renders and a lower bill per second. TL;DR Runs on: Google-hosted only (Gemini API, Google Cloud). No open weights, no local deployment. Performance: Google reports better reference adherence and less drift. No 1.2 benchmark scores are published. Best: Native 15-second clips at $0.07 per second of 720p video, about $1.05 per 15-second clip. Worst: Google says fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics still need work. What is Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash? Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is a multimodal video model from Google DeepMind. It takes text, images, short video clips and audio as input. It outputs video with audio. Google’s developer docs describe the Omni line as natively multimodal, with editing handled through the Interactions API. What changed from Omni 1.1 Flash? The launch lists 6 upgrades: Longer clips: Generation and editing now reach 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1. Duration control: You set length in 1-second steps from 3 to 15 seconds. Reference adherence: You can combine character, product or style images with motion clips up to 3 seconds. Consistency: Faces, garments, packaging text and brand colors hold across camera angles with less morphing. Speech: Dialogue sounds more natural, with clearer lip-sync and distinct multi-speaker conditioning. Camera control: FPV flythroughs, zoom-outs and orbits show fewer unwanted jump cuts. How does the draft, edit, upscale workflow work? Google frames cost control as a workflow, not just a price. You draft at 360p or 720p. You fix a detail with a follow-up edit instead of regenerating the whole clip. Then you upscale the best result to 1080p or 4K. Multi-turn conversational editing now works across full 15-second clips. In practice, you can swap a product, background, lighting or aspect ratio turn by turn. The docs show this through a previous_interaction_id , so the prior video is not re-uploaded. How much does Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash cost? Google prices Omni 1.2 Flash at $0.07 per second of 720p video . Savings are similar at other resolutions . For context, the pricing page bills Omni 1.1 Flash at roughly $0.10 per second of 720p video. A full 15-second 720p clip on 1.2 works out to about $1.05. Google Vids users can generate 15-second clips at no additional cost. Provisioned Throughput is available, and outputs carry a SynthID watermark. How does it compare with other video models?

Google has not published benchmark scores for version 1.2. Its claims rest on side-by-side demos against Omni 1.1. The DeepMind model page reports human-rater results for the Omni Flash line, including 1,003 MovieGenBench prompts. In June, an earlier Omni Flash version took #1 on the Arena text-to-video board . Those rankings predate 1.2, so treat them as family context only. Early partner feedback is positive but self-selected. According to Google’s release page, invideo’s VP of Engineering said the model sticks to the prompt and that physics and sound feel real. QuickFrame AI says 15 seconds at 1080p lets users build a full CTV ad in 1 generation. Where can developers use it? Gemini API: Prototype in Google AI Studio and build with the developer docs . Google Cloud: Use the Agent Platform API with enterprise SLAs. Google apps: Flow, Google Vids, Google Ads and the Gemini app (rolling out to AI Ultra). Key Takeaways Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generates and edits native 15-second clips, up from 10. Price drops 30% to $0.07 per second of 720p video. Multi-turn editing now spans full 15-second clips without re-generation. No benchmark scores for 1.2 are published yet. Audio references remain allowlist-gated on Google Cloud.
