Google released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on 5 November. Its post sets clips from 3 to 15 seconds and 720p at $0.07 a second. Quality claims are still Google's.

Google released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on 5 November. Its own post says a clip can run from 3 to 15 seconds, in one-second steps, and that 720p costs $0.07 a second, 30% below Omni 1.1. Every quality claim so far is Google's. Digital Trends, the same day, supplies the working notes below when Google's post does not.

## What changed

Google's post and Digital Trends report the same changes. Omni 1.1 was capped at 10 seconds per generation.

- Length. Users can pick any length from 3 to 15 seconds in one-second steps. Digital Trends calls that 50% more, and still short for a Reel or Short ad.
- Editing. A follow-up message can change the background, weather or aspect ratio on the same clip. Google's post says this works on a full 15-second clip.
- Consistency. Users can supply images of a character, product or style, plus audio cues or motion clips up to three seconds. Google says faces, garments, packaging text and brand colours stay consistent across camera changes, with less visual drift. Digital Trends puts the same claim as substantially less visual drift.
- Camera and audio. Google says drone flythroughs and orbits have fewer unwanted jump cuts, and that dialogue has clearer lip-sync with distinct voices for several speakers. Digital Trends adds that camera point-of-view controls were expanded.

## Price

Google's post sets the 720p price at $0.07 per second, 30% below Omni 1.1. Digital Trends multiplies that out to about $1.05 for a full 15-second clip. Implicator reported about $0.10 per second for Omni 1.1 on 27 August. We have not opened Google's pricing page, so that older rate is Implicator's figure for the earlier model. Digital Trends says the write-ups list only the 720p rate. Google Cloud's post, the same day, says the cut comes with similar savings at other resolutions, and still does not print a 1080p or 4K price. Both Google posts describe drafting at 360p or 720p, fixing a detail with a follow-up edit, and upscaling only the best take.

## Where it is available

- Developers: Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. Google's post says the model is generally available on the API.
- Businesses: the Google Cloud console, including reserved capacity through Provisioned Throughput. Google Cloud's post says it is generally available on Google Cloud.
- General users: Flow, Google Ads and Google Vids. Google's post and Digital Trends both say 15-second clips in Vids cost nothing extra with a Google account or Workspace subscription.
- Google AI Ultra subscribers: the Gemini app. Google's post says that access is rolling out.

Google Cloud's post says audio references are gated behind allowlisting. Neither post gives regional availability.

## A note on length

Omni 1.1 was described as reaching 40 seconds, but Implicator explains that each generation still made at most 10 seconds and developers chained segments, with the model reading up to 10 seconds of earlier footage to continue a shot. A single 15-second clip is a different limit from a chained sequence. Check which one a platform's listing means.

## What is not known

Digital Trends reports no independent testing, and we have not run one. The drift, jump-cut and lip-sync improvements are Google's claims. We do not know how often a clip is usable, or how well a follow-up edit keeps the rest of a shot intact. Google's post says work continues on fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics. Both Google posts say outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark. Implicator had said that of Omni 1.1. We have not inspected a 1.2 file.

## How to test it

Our 3 November guide on price per second versus cost per usable clip applies directly. Use ten of your own start images, fixed prompts and a keep-or-discard rule. Add one test of your own: take a clip with one flaw, fix it with a follow-up edit, and compare the cost and result with generating the whole shot again. Record resolution, length and price for each attempt.

## What to watch

Prices for 1080p and 4K, independent comparisons with other 15- to 30-second models, and which creative tools add the model.

## RenderBob 3 and this story

RenderBob 3 keeps the model a per-clip choice, so a 15-second Omni clip can be tried on a single shot on its own timeline lane, with its references and prompt log kept beside it.
