Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash cuts 720p video to about $0.07 per second and extends clips to 15 seconds

Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a model that generates and edits video, at about $0.07 per second of 720p footage. Google says that is 30% below Omni 1.1. For anyone producing short video through the API, the release changes both the bill and the length of what one request can return.

One generation can now produce between 3 and 15 seconds of video, set in one-second steps, compared with a 10-second ceiling on Omni 1.1. A clip can also be changed through follow-up instructions, such as a new background or aspect ratio, instead of being generated again from the start. Google suggests drafting at 360p or 720p, fixing details with a follow-up edit, and enlarging only the best result to 1080p or 4K. The Gemini API price list sets a separate rate per second for each resolution, and the model is available only on the paid tier.

What Google claims for consistency

Google says the model holds faces, garments, and packaging typography more steadily across camera angles. It accepts images, motion clips of up to three seconds, and audio cues as references. Google also reports clearer lip-sync and fewer unwanted jump cuts. These are the company's own descriptions, and the announcement cites no independent measurement of them.
