  • Confirmed
    The blog post is dated November 5, 2026, and describes Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash.
  • Partially confirmed
    The 15-second length, the 30 percent price cut, the $0.07 price, and general availability are Google's claims.
Google said on November 5, 2026, that Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash brings native 15-second video generation and editing, stronger consistency, and 30 percent lower pricing.1
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is a Google model that makes short videos, and this post is an update to that model. Google says the new version can generate and edit videos up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1, and that a user can set the length in one-second steps from 3 to 15 seconds.1
Why it matters (Estimate). Estimate. People and companies that pay Google to make short videos can now order a clip as long as 15 seconds, at the price Google posted. The post does not say how the model compares with other video tools on a shared test.
Google says it dropped the price 30 percent from Gemini Omni 1.1, to $0.07 per second for 720p video, and that the model is generally available on the Gemini API and for Gemini for business. Those specifications are the company's claims. This desk did not generate a clip or check a bill.1
