High-quality video generation and conversational editing
Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-flash-preview) just rolled out to developers via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, natively supporting high-quality video generation and conversational editing from a combination of text, image and video inputs. This model is priced competitively at $0.10 per second of video output, which is the same as Veo 3.1 Fast.
Hey PH fam 👋 Video creation has always meant stitching five tools together. A script model here, a text-to-image model there, an image-to-video tool, a separate lip-sync app, a voice generator. Each one its own contract, its own learning curve, its own headache. Now Google's latest offering Gemini Omni Flash collapses all of that into one model. It's the first release in Google's new Omni family, and it does something most video models can't: it actually holds a conversation with you while you edit. You don't regenerate from scratch every time you want a tweak. You just talk to it. How it works: → Feed it text, images, or short video clips as references → It generates a clip grounded in Gemini's real-world knowledge (history, biology, narrative logic, all of it) → Ask for changes in plain English: "make the lighting warmer," "swap the product," "extend the camera pan" → It remembers the last few turns, so your edits build instead of starting over Why it's worth your attention: → Priced at $0.10 per second of 720p output, matching Veo 3.1 Fast → Launched at #1 on LMArena's Text-to-Video Arena → Every clip carries SynthID watermarking and C2PA credentials baked in, so provenance isn't an afterthought → Pairs naturally with Nano Banana 2 Lite: generate a still image, then animate it straight into video What strikes me most isn't the generation quality, it's the editing model. Most AI video tools still treat you like a one-shot prompt engineer. This treats you like a director who gets to say "no, try that again, but..." Curious what you'd build first: a product explainer, a localized training video, or something nobody's tried yet? Show more
