Google’s Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash stretches AI video clips to 15 seconds and cuts pricing by 30 percent

What happened

Google Deepmind has launched Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, the latest version of its AI video-generation model. This update extends the maximum length of AI-generated video clips to 15 seconds, up from shorter limits before. The model now supports step-by-step video editing through conversational input, allowing users to guide changes incrementally. Importantly, the new version reduces pricing by 30 percent to $0.07 per second at 720p resolution. Users can cut costs further by creating drafts in low resolution and upscaling only the final output.

Why it matters

Longer AI video clips open doorways for more practical uses in marketing, social media, and digital content creation where segments longer than a few seconds are often required. The conversational editing feature simplifies the creative process, enabling iterative refinements without restarting from scratch. Most crucially, a 30 percent price drop makes AI video generation more accessible for startups, small businesses, and individual creators who previously faced high costs. The option to draft in low resolution before upscaling further optimizes budgets and computational resources, making AI video workflows more efficient and scalable.

What to watch next

It will be worth tracking adoption patterns from independent creators and businesses to see if reduced costs significantly boost usage. Competitors may respond by either cutting their prices or enhancing their models beyond 15 seconds. Keep an eye on how Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash integrates with existing video editing tools and platforms, as this could determine its traction among content producers. Finally, improvements in video quality, beyond just length and price, will be key to how compelling the output is for commercial and professional use.
