Google DeepMind has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, an updated video generation model that creates clips up to 15 seconds long, up from 10 seconds in the previous Omni 1.1 release. Users can set a duration in one-second increments from 3 to 15 seconds. The model is now generally available through the Gemini API and Gemini for business, with related features in Google Vids and Flow. Google has also cut the price by 30 percent relative to Omni 1.1, to $0.07 per second for 720p video. The company says the model follows reference images, short motion clips of up to three seconds, and audio cues more closely, keeping faces, garments, packaging typography and brand colours consistent across camera angles. It also supports multi-turn conversational editing, so users can swap a background, product or lighting, or change the aspect ratio, through follow-up prompts instead of regenerating the whole clip. Google recommends drafting at 360p or 720p and upscaling the final version to 1080p or 4K to manage costs. The announcement also claims clearer lip-sync, more natural multi-speaker dialogue and fewer unwanted jump cuts in camera movement. These are Google's own claims, supported by demonstration examples rather than independent benchmarks. For Australian businesses and professionals, the update is mainly about cost and workflow rather than regulation. At the quoted rate, a 15-second 720p clip costs about $1.05 before any revisions, which may make short video ad testing cheaper for teams already building on the Gemini API. Anyone uploading photos of real people, product photography or brand assets should check how that material is handled under the Privacy Act 1988 and their own licence terms, because the announcement gives no detail on data handling. Teams with no video production needs will see no change, while those making short product or social clips may find it worth a trial on a small batch.
