Google's video model line has crossed into general availability. On November 5, 2026 Google DeepMind said Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is rolling out and is generally available across the Gemini API and Gemini for business, with a matching Google Cloud post confirming enterprise GA, Provisioned Throughput and SynthID watermarking on outputs.

The headline capability jump is length. Creators can generate and edit clips natively up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds on Omni 1.1, and can set duration in one-second steps from 3 to 15 seconds. That range is meant to cover full social spots and short product explainers in a single generation rather than stitching several short takes. Google pairs that with multi-turn conversational editing: swap a product, background, lighting or aspect ratio on the same clip instead of regenerating from scratch. Reference adherence is also pitched as stronger, combining character, product or style images, short motion clips up to three seconds, and audio cues so faces, garments, packaging type and brand colors hold across angles.

Economics are part of the pitch. Google says it cut the price 30% from Omni 1.1 to $0.07 per second for 720p video. Workflows can draft at 360p or 720p, fix details with follow-up edits, then upscale keepers to 1080p or 4K. The company also highlights more natural multi-speaker dialogue and lip-sync, and more controllable continuous camera moves such as FPV flythroughs and orbits with fewer unwanted jump cuts. Those claims matter most for teams that iterate many variants of the same brief rather than rendering once.

Distribution spans Google's stack. Developers can prototype in Google AI Studio against the Gemini API; businesses can use the Cloud console; Google Vids users with a Google account or Workspace subscription can generate 15-second clips at no additional cost; Flow supports scene direction and multi-turn edits; the Gemini app is rolling 15-second video to Google AI Ultra subscribers; and Google Ads can scale video campaigns. Google notes remaining weak spots such as fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics.

Sister posts on the Google Blog and Google Cloud Blog repeat the same GA message and emphasize enterprise readiness. Google also says businesses can keep drafting cheaply at lower resolutions before upscaling keepers, which matters for campaign variants that used to burn a full regeneration on every tweak. For product and platform teams that need short branded video at volume, Omni 1.2 Flash is the first Omni release Google is willing to call generally available rather than a limited preview. Duration, pricing and consistency claims are Google's; independent third-party quality benches were not reviewed in this run.
