Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash makes a 15-second clip for $1.04, at Google's own developer price

Google's Omni 1.2 Flash makes 15-second clips for $1.04 at 720p, 31% under Omni 1.1. That is the paid developer rate; Runway's help page still lists about three times as much, and every edit turn bills a whole new clip.

Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available on Thursday: clips now run up to 15 seconds, up from 10, you can edit a clip over several chat turns, and the developer price drops 31%, to about $0.07 a second at 720p, or $1.04 for a 15-second clip. The headline number is real, but working out what a finished shot will cost you is still harder than it should be.

That $1.04 is Google's paid rate for developers, and it makes Omni the cheapest major video model at 720p on list price this week, 26% under Kling 4.0 Flash. Runway had the model live within the hour, yet its help center still documents a rate roughly three times higher, and Krea publishes no per-model price. Google Vids is the free route, with three 15-second videos a month for anyone with a Google account.

Editing a clip instead of re-rolling it is the real change, because you keep the take you like and ask for one fix. Each edit turn still makes and bills a whole new clip, so by our reading one change to a 15-second clip costs about another $1.04. 1080p and 4K are upscaled from 720p at one and a half and three times the price, and in the UK, the EEA and Switzerland you cannot edit footage you upload.

Our take: Omni 1.2 Flash is now the cheapest serious engine for drafting a scene, at 35 cents a shot in 360p before you pay for the 720p take that works. It is not yet the model for realistic acting, where creators testing side by side still favor Seedance 2.5.
