What Is New in Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash

Gemini Omni is Google’s tool for making videos from text, images and sound. The new 1.2 Flash version focuses on longer clips and lower costs, according to the official Google blog.

Users can now set a clip length anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds, in one-second steps. The older 1.1 version stopped at 10 seconds.

Google says the model also keeps characters and scenes steadier from shot to shot. It handles tricky camera moves with fewer jumpy cuts.

The update arrives about six months after Google first showed Gemini Omni in May 2026. Rival tools from other tech companies are racing to offer longer and cheaper clips too.

Cheaper Ways to Make Videos

Price is a big part of this update. Video at 720p quality now costs $0.07 per second through the Gemini programming interface. That is 30% less than before.

Creators can also save money by drafting first. They can make a rough version at 360p or 720p and fix it with follow-up edits. Then they can upscale it to 1080p or 4K.

Google lists full details on its Gemini developer pricing page. Prices can change, so check the page before you start a big project.

Good to know. Drafting at low quality first, then upscaling, can cut the cost of making videos with this tool.

Better Editing and Speech

The model lets people edit a clip through conversation. For example, a user can ask it to swap the background or change the lighting without starting over.

It also accepts reference material. Users can add pictures of a character or product, short motion clips up to three seconds, and audio cues.

Speech got an upgrade too. Google says dialogue sounds more natural, lips sync more clearly and several speakers can talk in one scene.

Safety and Limits

Every video carries a hidden watermark called SynthID. Google designed it to help people identify content made with its tools.

The model still has limits. Google says it is working on fast sports action, quick script changes and complex physics. So some scenes may still look a little off.
