Google releases Gemini Omni Flash

Google has announced Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a video-generation model that can make clips up to 15 seconds long and edit them through follow-up prompts. Instead of regenerating a clip to change a background or product, users can ask for adjustments in conversation. Google says the model follows reference images and other inputs more consistently, and costs 30% less than Omni 1.1, at $0.07 per second for 720p video. Google’s announcement says it’s generally available through the Gemini API and Google for business.

For an operator, the practical question is whether this fits a real video workflow. A team producing product clips or ad variations could test whether the longer format and follow-up editing reduce the effort of making changes. Google says you can draft at 360p or 720p, then upscale selected work to 1080p or 4K. That’s a stated workflow, not a guarantee that every edit will come out right. Google also says it’s still working on areas including fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics.
