TL;DR — The Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash price in India works out to about ₹6.30 per second of 720p AI video — $0.07 a second, 30% cheaper than version 1.1 — for clips up to 15 seconds long with synchronised audio. Announced on 5 November 2026 and now generally available through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Flow, Google Vids and the Gemini app, it also adds multi-turn conversational editing, so you can fix a scene by talking to it instead of starting over.
📌 KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Generally available from 5 November 2026: the first Gemini Omni model to reach GA, across the Gemini API and Gemini for business, with enterprise SLAs and Provisioned Throughput.
- Longer clips: native video up to 15 seconds (up from 10), adjustable in one-second steps from 3 to 15 seconds — and extendable to 30 seconds in total.
- Cheaper: $0.07 per second of 720p video, a 30% cut from 1.1 — roughly $1.05 for a full 15-second clip. There is no free tier on the API.
- Edit by talking: multi-turn conversational editing across the full clip — swap a product or background, change lighting or weather, switch aspect ratio — without regenerating from scratch.
- Free route for casual users: 15-second clips in Google Vids at no additional cost with a Google account or Workspace subscription; the Gemini app rollout is for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
What is Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash?
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is Google DeepMind's video generation and editing model — the system that takes text, images, audio and video as inputs and returns a video with synchronised, natively generated audio in a single pass. Google announced it on 5 November 2026 in a post by product manager Anish Nangia on The Keyword blog, and made it generally available the same day.
The "Omni" family debuted at Google I/O in May 2026 as Google's first any-to-any model line, and version 1.1 followed in August 2026 with keyframes and 4K upscaling. Version 1.2 is the first one Google is backing for production workloads, with Google Cloud infrastructure, security and service-level agreements behind it.
The practical idea is simple: instead of writing one perfect prompt and hoping, you generate a clip and then keep talking to it. Ask it to swap the product on the table, move the scene from a market to a beach at sunset, or change the aspect ratio from landscape to portrait — and it edits that detail while keeping the rest of the shot intact. Google says the model now holds faces, garments, packaging typography and brand colours consistent across camera angles and transitions, with less visual drift or morphing. In Google DeepMind's own side-by-side testing, Omni 1.2 won 62% of visual-consistency comparisons against 38% for 1.1 — Google's own figures, not an independent benchmark, so treat them as the maker's claim.
It also generates more natural-sounding dialogue with clearer lip-sync and distinct voices for different speakers, and it can direct continuous camera moves — sweeping flythroughs, zoom-outs and orbits — with fewer unwanted jump cuts. Reference inputs can combine character, product or style images, short motion clips of up to three seconds, and audio cues; the API supports up to six reference images per request.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash price in India explained
Google bills the Gemini API in US dollars, and has announced no India-specific price — so the India figure is a straight conversion of the dollar rate. At ₹90 to the dollar, the headline $0.07 per second of 720p video is about ₹6.30 per second.
| What you generate | Price (USD) | Approx. price (INR)* |
|---|---|---|
| 720p video, per second | $0.07 | ≈ ₹6.30 |
| 10-second clip | ≈ $0.70 | ≈ ₹63 |
| 15-second clip | ≈ $1.05 | ≈ ₹95 |
| Text, image and video inputs | $1.50 per million tokens | ≈ ₹135 per million tokens |
*Approximate conversion at ₹90 = $1, for comparison only. Google charges the API in USD; your card issuer's exchange rate and any taxes will change the final rupee figure.
Behind the headline rate, the API is metered in tokens: $12 per million video-output tokens, at 5,792 tokens per second of 720p video — which works out to about $0.70 for 10 seconds and $1.04 for 15 seconds, matching the $0.07-a-second headline. And there is no free tier on the API: every generation is billed.
Google's own advice for keeping the bill down is a workflow, not a discount: draft fast at 360p or 720p, fix details with a follow-up edit instead of regenerating the whole clip, and only upscale your best results to 1080p or 4K. That matters because the multi-turn editing is the real cost saver — a targeted revision is cheaper than re-rolling a full clip every time a detail is wrong.

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash vs 1.1: what's new
| Feature | Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum native clip length | 10 seconds | 15 seconds |
| Duration control | 3–10 seconds, whole seconds | 3–15 seconds, one-second steps |
| 720p price | ≈ $0.10 per second | $0.07 per second (30% lower) |
| Conversational editing | Turn-by-turn edits | Multi-turn edits across full 15-second clips |
| Reference images per request | Up to 5 | Up to 6 |
| Clip extension | Available | Appends 3–10 seconds per turn, up to 30 seconds total |
| Availability | Preview / API | Generally available, with SLAs and Provisioned Throughput |
One date matters if you already build on 1.1: it stays available during a four-week transition, and from 3 December 2026 API requests to 1.1 will automatically route to 1.2, with no code changes and at the lower 1.2 rates. If your app pins the 1.1 model ID, the switch happens for you — but check your outputs after the cutover, because the model behind the call will have changed.
Where to try Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
Developers can prototype in Google AI Studio and build on the paid Gemini API, or work through the Google Cloud console for enterprise use. For everyone else, the model is rolling out across Google's own products: direct scenes and multi-turn edits in Flow, generate 15-second clips at no additional cost in Google Vids with a Google account or Workspace subscription, create 15-second videos in the Gemini app (rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers), and scale video campaigns in Google Ads.
Every video generated through the API carries an imperceptible SynthID watermark, which can be detected programmatically — Google's provenance marker, so AI-generated clips can be identified as such later. That is worth knowing if you publish the output: the watermark is invisible to viewers, but the video is still machine-identifiable as AI-generated, and platforms and audiences increasingly expect that to be disclosed.
Why it matters for India readers
India is one of the world's largest short-video markets, and 15 seconds is exactly the length of a Reel or a Short. For creators, small businesses and agencies, the combination of a longer native clip and a 30% price cut changes the maths of AI video: a product explainer, a catalog spin or a virtual try-on sequence that used to need two stitched 10-second generations — with a visible join in the middle — can now come out of a single generation, and a 15-second ad costs about ₹95 at the headline rate instead of about ₹135.
The free route matters just as much. Google Vids gives 15-second clips at no additional cost with an ordinary Google account, so students, small teams and first-time creators can try the model without touching the paid API at all. The Gemini app route, by contrast, needs a Google AI Ultra subscription, which is a paid plan.
Two honest caveats for Indian users. First, Google says the Gemini API fully supports English but has not evaluated other languages — so if your dialogue is in Hindi, Tamil or Hinglish, expect less reliable results than the English demos show. Second, the model is still being improved for fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics, and voice editing, uploaded audio inputs and audio references are not supported in the current API. If your video depends on any of those, this version will frustrate you.
Should you use it or wait?
✅ Verdict: try it free in Google Vids or Flow first — and if you build on the API, move to 1.2 before the 3 December auto-migration. The longer clips, lower price and edit-in-conversation workflow are genuine improvements, and the free Vids route means there is no reason to pay to find out whether it fits your work. Wait if your videos need non-English dialogue, fast action, or voice editing — those limits are real in this release.
