Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: video up to 15 seconds with audio and 360p drafts

Stručne o hlavnom (BLUF): Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is the new version of Google's multimodal video model. A clip is built from a prompt and up to seven reference images, duration is set to any second between 3 and 15, quality runs from 360p drafts to 4K, and audio is generated together with the video. The main gain over 1.1 Flash is twice as long clips and a fine-grained duration scale.

What is new in 1.2 Flash

Three changes over version 1.1. First, duration: a clip can now run up to 15 seconds instead of 8–10. Second, the duration scale: you pick any whole second from 3 to 15, so the runtime fits the task instead of a preset. Third, the reference mode is reworked: the first uploaded image can be set as the starting frame, the rest act as style hints.

Everything else is familiar Omni workflow: a 360p draft mode for quick idea runs, 720p, 1080p and 4K for finals, landscape 16:9 and portrait 9:16 frames, and a seed field for repeatable results.

Duration of 3–15 seconds and per-second pricing

Duration is chosen as an exact number of seconds: 5 seconds for a story clip, 12 for a dialogue scene. The runtime is trimmed to the task, not to a four-step ruler.

Pricing is per second: the longer the clip and the higher the resolution, the higher the total. A 360p draft costs noticeably less than a 1080p or 4K final, so the practical route stays the same — iterate the composition in 360p, then reshoot the same prompt with the same seed in high resolution.

Images: references and the starting frame

A request accepts up to seven images. By default each one works as a reference: the model reads style, palette and scene composition from them. The “first image is the starting frame” checkbox turns the first file into the literal first frame — motion starts from your picture, and the rest of the scene is described in words.

Video and audio inputs, preset voices and saved characters are not available in 1.2 Flash: this is a text-plus-images mode. If a scene needs a voice or a video reference, the neighbouring Gemini Omni versions in the same model list provide them.

Audio, seed and repeating a good take

Audio is generated together with the video: the model voices the scene itself, no separate track to upload. The seed field fixes the random part — the same prompt with the same seed repeats the take's composition, differing only in detail between resolutions.

The generation history is shared with the other Gemini Omni versions: 1.2 Flash clips live in the same feed, and any good take can be published as a trend or opened in the editor.

How 1.2 Flash differs from 1.1 Flash

Pick 1.2 Flash when a clip must run longer than ten seconds or the runtime must be exact to the second. 1.1 Flash remains the choice where voices, characters and video input matter — 1.2 lacks those modes but offers a finer duration scale.

Switching between versions breaks nothing: form settings are shared, the history is shared, and pricing follows the same per-second rules. Both versions live in one group of the Video list.

Časté otázky

How does Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash differ from 1.1 Flash?

Duration and its scale: 1.2 shoots clips at any second from 3 to 15 (1.1 tops out at 8–10), while 1.2 has no voices, characters or video input. Frame formats, 360p–4K, seed and audio are shared.

Is 360p cheaper than 1080p?

Yes. Pricing is per second and depends on resolution: a 360p draft costs noticeably less than 1080p and 4K for the same seconds, so drafts are best shot in 360p and finals in high resolution.

Can I submit a video or a voice?

No. 1.2 Flash takes a prompt and up to seven images; the first one can be set as the starting frame. Video input, preset voices and saved characters are available in the neighbouring Gemini Omni versions.

Can I repeat a good clip in high quality?

Yes. Fix the seed of a good draft, repeat the prompt and choose 1080p or 4K — the composition stays, only the detail grows.
