Google's AI video tool now makes 15-second clips for 30% less

Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, an AI tool that creates video from text, images and audio. It now makes clips up to 15 seconds long, and the price dropped 30%. Video at 720p quality costs $0.07 per second. It is available to the public today.

What changed

The last version, Omni 1.1, topped out at 10 seconds. The new one lets you pick any length from 3 to 15 seconds, in one-second steps. Google says that is enough room for a product explainer or a full social ad in a single try.

You can also fix a clip by talking to it. Ask for a different background, new lighting, a swapped product or a different screen shape, and the tool changes the same clip. Google says this works on full 15-second videos.

Better at keeping things the same

AI video often drifts. A face changes, a logo warps, a jacket looks different from another angle. Google says version 1.2 holds these details steady better than before. You can feed it product photos, character images, short motion clips of up to three seconds, and audio cues.

• Faces, clothing, packaging text and brand colors stay consistent across camera angles.
• Dialogue sounds more natural, with clearer lip-sync when several people speak.
• Camera moves like flythroughs and zoom-outs have fewer unwanted jump cuts.

How the cost stays low

The price cut is only part of it. Google suggests drafting at low quality, either 360p or 720p. Then fix any details with a follow-up edit rather than making the whole clip again. Once you like the result, you can upscale the best ones to 1080p or 4K.

Who it is for

The tool is aimed at people who make ads, product videos and social content. It is generally available through the Gemini API, which lets developers build it into their own apps, and Gemini for business. Google says it also works in Google Vids and Flow. A small shop could test several ad versions cheaply before committing to a final one.
