Google Vids now makes AI video clips up to 15 seconds with Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
Google Vids, the video tool in Google Workspace, now generates clips with Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. Google announced the change on November 5. You can set a clip's length anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds. Google says the new model keeps characters and products more consistent when you give it reference images, and that narration sounds more natural.
Anyone with a personal Google account or a Workspace subscription can make up to three 15-second clips a month at no cost. The feature is on Workspace Business Starter, Standard and Plus, Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus, Education Plus and several other editions. Users with the AI Expanded Access add-on get higher limits. There is no admin setting for it. Rollout started on November 5, and Google says the feature can take 1 to 3 days to show.
What it means for your work
- For short promos: A 15-second clip is long enough for a product teaser or a social post, made in one take without cuts.
- Use reference images: Upload your product shots or a character image so each clip looks the same as the last.
- Plan around the limit: Three free clips a month go fast, so draft your prompt and script before you generate.
