Google has released Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, a production update to its native multimodal video generation model that shifts focus from simple generation to directable editing. The update introduces stateful interactions via the Interactions API, allowing users to modify videos while preserving prior context without re-uploading files.
- Scene extension now analyzes up to 10 seconds of prior context, enabling cumulative extensions up to 40 seconds.
- Users can pin first and last frames to control camera movement for effects like orbits and seamless loops.
- Drafts render in 360p at a third of the cost of 720p, with finals upscaling to 4K.
- Video references accept up to three clips of three seconds each for character consistency.
- Pricing is set at ~$0.10 per second of 720p video, with SynthID watermarking included in all outputs.
The model is available through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with Adobe, Figma Weave, GMI Cloud, and Runway already using it in production.
