November 9, 2026. Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available on November 5 at $12.00 per 1M output tokens, which Google puts at about $0.07 a second of 720p video, 30% less than Omni 1.1. A 15-second 720p clip, the longest single generation, comes to about $1.04. From December 3, every Gemini API request still sent to gemini-omni-1.1-flash will "automatically route to gemini-omni-1.2-flash" and bill at 1.2 rates, per the release notes. If you make short video ads through the API, that is 24 days before your 1.1 requests switch to 1.2.

Prices and dates read on 9 November 2026 from the Gemini API pricing page, the Gemini API release notes and Google's launch post.
What changed on November 5
- A 30% lower price. "We have dropped the price 30% from Gemini Omni 1.1 making it available at $0.07 per second for 720p video," says Google's launch post. The pricing page lists Omni 1.1 Flash at "approximately $0.10 per second" for 720p video.
- Longer clips. Up to 15 seconds in a single generation, "up from 10 seconds with Omni 1.1," set in one-second steps from 3 to 15. Per-turn extensions of 3 to 10 seconds can take a video "up to 30 seconds total length," per the release notes.
- More consistency. Improved character and subject consistency "across up to 6 reference images."
- Higher limits. Doubled paid-tier rate limits.
- Where it runs. The pricing page calls it "generally available to developers on the paid tier of the Gemini API," and the launch post says it is available "across the Gemini API and Gemini for business."
- Watermarked. Outputs "carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark."
What a clip costs by resolution
Google bills Omni by output tokens per second of video. We multiplied its published token rates by $12.00 per 1M tokens (Standard pricing) and by 15 seconds; 1080p and 4K include upsampling.
| Resolution | Tokens per second | Per second | 15-second clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 360p | 1,931 | about $0.023 | about $0.35 |
| 720p | 5,792 | about $0.07 | about $1.04 |
| 1080p, upsampled | 8,688 | about $0.104 | about $1.56 |
| 4K, upsampled | 17,376 | about $0.209 | about $3.13 |
Google's suggested workflow is to "draft fast at 360p or 720p, fix a detail with a follow-up edit instead of re-generating the entire clip, and then upscale your best creations to 1080p or 4K." As a hypothetical, 100 fifteen-second drafts at 360p plus 10 finals at 720p come to about $45, or about $4.50 per final. Technobezz reported the same $0.07 and 30% figures.
What to do before December 3
We suggest four steps:
- Find every 1.1 call. Search your code and your n8n or Make scenarios for gemini-omni-1.1-flash. From December 3 those requests run on 1.2 without a code change; on our reading, outputs can change because a different model answers.
- Re-run your best prompts on 1.2 now with the same reference images, and compare faces, packaging text and brand colors, which Google says now stay consistent "across camera angles."
- Re-price per ad, not per second. A 10-second 720p clip that cost about $1.00 on 1.1 is about $0.70 on 1.2. If you resell video ads to clients, for example through a white-label GoHighLevel SaaS, we would price per final ad rather than per generation.
- Check ad labeling rules. If the clips run as Google ads, see our Google Ads AI label brief.
Our AI UGC ads service scripts, produces and tests AI UGC-style ads and reels, and our AI automation agency team builds API workflows. For chat rather than video, see our AI chatbot for business cost breakdown.
