Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash Release

Google released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on Nov 5, 2026, generally available in the Gemini API, Google Cloud, Flow and Google Vids. It makes and edits video clips of 3 to 15 seconds with sound, at about $0.07 a second for 720p, 30% below Omni 1.1, with no free tier.

Google released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on Nov 5, 2026, generally available that day in the Gemini API and on Google Cloud. It makes and edits video clips with sound of 3 to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds on Omni 1.1, and Google cut the price by 30% to about $0.07 a second of 720p video, so a 15-second clip costs about $1.04. There is no free tier in the API. In Google's own apps it is in Flow, in Google Vids at no extra cost, and rolling out in the Gemini app to Google AI Ultra subscribers only.

What changed from Omni 1.1

From Google's announcement and the Gemini API changelog of Nov 5, 2026:

Longer clips, set by the second. Any length from 3 to 15 seconds, drafted at 360p or 720p and upscaled to 1080p or 4K, at 24 frames a second.
Editing in conversation on the whole clip. Swap a product or background, change the lighting, weather or aspect ratio, turn after turn, on all 15 seconds.
More kinds of reference. Character, product and style images (up to six held consistent), motion clips up to three seconds, and audio cues; first and last frame interpolation from 3 to 10 seconds; each extension adds 3 to 10 seconds, up to 30 in all.
Speech. More natural dialogue, clearer lip-sync and several speakers in one clip.
Higher limits. Paid-tier rate limits doubled.

Google itself names what it is still fixing: fast sports action, quick changes of script and complex physics. Every clip carries a SynthID watermark.

What it costs

	Price
360p video	$0.023 a second
720p video	about $0.07 a second (5,792 tokens a second at $12 per million output tokens)
1080p, upscaled	$0.104 a second
4K, upscaled	$0.209 a second
Input (text, image, video)	$1.50 per million tokens
Free tier	None

Source: Gemini API pricing, read Nov 8, 2026. Omni 1.1 Flash's video output was $17.50 per million tokens; 1.2's is $12.

In Google's apps, Omni comes out of each plan's Flow credits rather than a per-second bill: AI Plus $4.99 a month with 200 credits, AI Pro $19.99 with 1,000 and AI Ultra from $99.99 with 10,000 (US prices, read Nov 8, 2026). Google Vids makes 15-second clips at no extra cost for anyone with a Google account or Workspace subscription.

Limits

The model page lists gemini-omni-1.2-flash as stable, with 131,072 input tokens and 65,536 output tokens; editing takes clips of up to 15 seconds, and extension looks back over the last 10. Rate limits by tier, read Nov 8, 2026:

	Requests a minute	Requests a day
Free tier	Not supported	Not supported
Tier 1	8	40
Tier 2	16	200
Tier 3	40	2,000

Developers still calling gemini-omni-1.1-flash are moved to 1.2 on Dec 3, 2026. Google states no country limits for the API.

Where it ranks

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash was first on Arena's text-to-video leaderboard when Vi.ki read it on Nov 6, 2026, above Google's own Veo 3.1 in 14th place (Veo). Best AI Video Generator compares it with Kling, Runway, Seedance and the rest.

What we think

We think Omni 1.2 Flash reaches Google AI Pro subscribers in the Gemini app before Mar 1, 2027. Today only Ultra has it in the app, but Pro already gets Omni through its 1,000 Flow credits, and Google Vids gives 15-second clips to anyone with a Google account, so keeping it from Pro's Gemini app is the odd one out.

Confidence: Likely. Check by: Mar 2027.

We expect the next Omni to pass 30 seconds per clip. Google went from 10 to 15 seconds between 1.1 and 1.2 and already lets a clip be extended to 30 seconds in steps, and Kling makes single shots of up to 30 seconds.

Confidence: Possible. Check by: Jun 2027.
