Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash Generates 15-Second Videos and Gets 30% Cheaper

What happened

Google introduced Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a faster and more affordable version of its video model. The main new feature is native generation and editing of clips up to 15 seconds long. According to the announcement, the model also delivers greater consistency across scenes and comes at a price 30% lower than the previous one. There is also more control over video timing, plus adjustments made through text or voice commands. Details on availability for each plan were not provided in the released material.

What this changes for your business

Fifteen seconds is a length that fits well in Reels, Stories, TikTok and short ads. With greater visual consistency, it becomes easier to keep the product, colors and character the same from start to finish, which is essential for advertisers. And the lower cost helps you test more variations without blowing your budget.

Some practical tips:

• Use it for creative testing: generate two or three versions of the same ad and let the data show which one works best.
• Start with the script: define a hook in the first few seconds, the benefit and a call to action before asking the AI for the video.
• Edit by command: take advantage of text or voice adjustments to fine-tune pacing and length, instead of generating everything from scratch.
• Always review: check that the product is shown accurately and that nothing in the video could confuse the customer.

AI speeds up production, but the right message still depends on you knowing your audience well.
