Google Vids now runs on the Omni 1.2 Flash video model, and from 5 November 2026 anyone with a Google account or Google Workspace subscription can generate up to three 15-second AI videos a month at no cost.
Google Vids with Omni 1.2 Flash: key facts
- Free allowance: up to three 15-second videos per month, for anyone with a Google account or a Workspace subscription.
- Longer clips: Omni 1.2 Flash generates and edits videos natively up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds with Omni 1.1, according to Google DeepMind.
- Reference images: upload photos from a trip, a school project or learning material, and characters and scenes are meant to stay consistent from first frame to last.
- Speech: Google says narration sounds more natural, which helps for social clips, explainers and teasers.
- Promos: Google pitches one-go product promos and quick social content without a single cut.
The model behind it
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash adds multi-turn conversational editing, so a clip can be adjusted turn by turn instead of regenerated.
- For developers, Google cut the price 30% from Gemini Omni 1.1 to $0.07 per second for 720p video in the Gemini API.
- The same model is also in Flow and Google Ads, and in the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers, where it is rolling out.
- Google says outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark.
What this means for you
Three free clips a month is enough to test Google Vids for a festival greeting, a product teaser or a classroom explainer, but not enough for regular video production. Google’s pages do not list countries, so open Vids on your account to see whether the feature appears, and check your Workspace plan if you need more.
What to check before you use it
- The announcement does not name the countries where the free allowance applies, so India availability is not confirmed on the page.
- The limit is three videos a month, each up to 15 seconds.
- Google labels generative AI as experimental, so review each clip for accuracy and make sure you have the right to use any photos you upload.
