General Availability and Key Updates
Google has announced the general availability of Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash across the Gemini API and Gemini for business. This release introduces several new features and improvements aimed at video generation and editing.
The updated model now supports native video creation up to 15 seconds in length, an increase from the 10-second limit of its predecessor, Omni 1.1. Users can specify video durations in one-second increments from 3 to 15 seconds.
Cost-Effectiveness and Workflow
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is 30% more cost-effective than Gemini Omni 1.1, with pricing set at $0.07 per second for 720p video. This price reduction applies across various resolutions.
The workflow allows for drafting videos quickly at 360p or 720p, with the option to refine details through follow-up edits rather than regenerating entire clips. Best creations can then be upscaled to 1080p or 4K.
Enhanced Consistency and Editing
The new version features improved reference adherence, which helps maintain consistency for characters, products, and brand details across different shots. This is achieved by guiding generation with character, product, or style images, and short motion clips.
Multi-turn conversational editing capabilities are also included, allowing users to refine existing clips by making changes such as swapping products, adjusting lighting, or altering camera angles.
Natural Speech Generation
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash also offers more natural speech generation. This includes more fluid and natural-sounding dialogue, clearer lip-sync, and distinct multi-speaker conditioning within generated scenes.
Target Audience and Applications
The model is designed for businesses that create videos in volume, such as product videos, virtual try-ons, and advertisements. Business users can access it through Gemini for business and Google Vids, while developers can integrate it via the API.
