Creation up to 15 Seconds, Multi-Turn Editing, and Increased Consistency

The 1.2 Flash version offers the ability to create and edit videos with a maximum duration of 15 seconds, whereas the previous limit with Omni 1.1 was 10 seconds; it is also possible to choose the duration in one-second increments between 3 and 15 seconds. The multi-turn conversational editing allows for adjustments to the same clip by modifying the product, background, lighting, weather, or aspect ratio without having to regenerate everything, applying to entire 15-second sequences. The tool enhances fidelity to references through the combination of images of characters, products, or styles, short motion sequences of up to three seconds, and audio elements, while specifying that these features are maintained throughout the video. Google indicates that the produced videos exhibit increased consistency from start to finish, with a reduction in visual drift or morphing issues during transitions, smoother dialogues benefiting from improved lip-syncing and management of multiple speakers, as well as enhanced cinematic control through sophisticated and continuous camera movements and reduced unwanted cuts.

Announced Cost Reduction and Areas for Further Improvement

The new version reports a 30% cost reduction and emphasizes increased consistency for professional applications. Efforts are underway to optimize support for fast-paced sports scenes, rapid script changes, and complex physical phenomena.
