Google Launches Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, Offering Free 15-Second AI Videos and 30% Lower Costs

At a glance

Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a new model that creates AI videos up to 15 seconds long and lets users edit them through conversation. Anyone with a Google account can make up to three videos per month for free, and the cost of generating videos is 30% lower than before.

Key points

1. 1

   It is applied to Google Vids, a tool for making documents and videos, so Google account users can make up to three 15-second videos per month for free.

2. 2

   From a single image, users can create videos for product promotions or ads, and improvements keep people and products looking similar throughout the video.

3. 3

   Videos can be changed by voice commands, such as 'change the background to a forest,' without being created again from scratch.

4. 4

   The cost of making one 720p video of 15 seconds is about $1.05. However, Google has said that fast sports movements and complex motion are not yet perfect.

Why it matters

AI video creation is expanding beyond professionals into everyday work and personal content creation.
