Generate longer AI videos with Omni 1.2 Flash in Google Vids at no cost.

Google has rolled out an update to Google Vids, its AI-assisted video creation tool within the Workspace ecosystem, integrating the Omni 1.2 Flash model. The most notable change is the ability to generate video clips up to 15 seconds long - an increase over what was previously available - while keeping the feature free for users.

Beyond clip length, the update focuses on scene consistency, meaning that characters, settings, and visual elements are more likely to remain coherent from one generated clip to the next. This matters for anyone trying to tell a story or produce a professional-looking presentation, where visual continuity is important and jarring shifts between scenes can undermine the final product.

Omni 1.2 Flash is part of Google's broader Gemini model family, with the "Flash" designation typically indicating a version optimized for speed and efficiency rather than maximum output quality. Embedding it into Google Vids positions the tool as practical for everyday Workspace users - people putting together internal presentations, marketing materials, or educational content - rather than targeting professional video production workflows.

Google Vids has been building out its AI capabilities steadily since launching as part of Workspace, and this update continues that trajectory. By offering longer clips and better scene coherence at no additional cost, Google is lowering the barrier for users who want to experiment with AI-generated video without committing to a paid tier. It also signals that generative video is becoming a standard feature in productivity software, not just a standalone creative tool.
