Google's Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash extends video length and cuts price

Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available across the Gemini API and Google Cloud. The update raises the maximum native video length from 10 to 15 seconds and adds multi-turn conversational editing, so users can refine a generated video over several rounds of instructions instead of starting over. The model also holds reference details, like a character's appearance or a specific object, more consistently across edits. Alongside the capability upgrade, Google cut the price by 30 percent, bringing it to $0.07 per second of 720p video. The model is rolling out in the Gemini app, Google Vids, AI Studio, and Google Cloud, making it accessible both to everyday users creating short clips and to developers building video features into their own products. The combination of longer clips, cheaper pricing, and iterative editing is aimed at making AI video generation practical for more everyday creative and business tasks rather than just short demos.

Why it matters

Longer, cheaper, more editable AI video pushes a widely used tool closer to practical production use.
