Deep dive
Google (@Google) posted on Nov 5 introducing Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, an updated video generation model from Google DeepMind.
According to Google, the model offers stronger consistency, more creative control and faster, more cost effective video at scale. Google said users can draft at 360p or 720p for $0.07 per second and upscale to 1080p or 4K, for about 30% lower cost. Clips can run up to 15 seconds, or any exact length from 3 to 15 seconds.
Google also said users can edit in conversation, swapping backgrounds, subjects or lighting turn by turn without starting over, get more natural multi speaker dialogue with clearer lip sync, and direct continuous camera moves with fewer jump cuts.
These figures and feature claims come from Google. The post does not compare Omni 1.2 Flash against rival video models by name.
The update lands in a crowded race for AI video, where length, cost and controllable editing decide whether creators use a model for drafts or finished work.

What to expect next
Watch for creators to test the 15 second clips and conversational edits against Runway, OpenAI and other video tools. Pricing at $0.07 per second for drafts will shape who uses it at volume. Google may follow with higher quality tiers or longer clips. Any reports of lip sync or consistency failures will also matter. Studio integrations and partner apps will show whether Omni 1.2 Flash becomes a default draft tool.
