Google extends AI video clips to 15 seconds
On 5 November, Google announced Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, generally available through the Gemini API and Gemini for business. It supports native 15-second videos, up from 10, and follow-up conversational edits. Gemini-app access is rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
Google advertises 720p generation at US$0.07 per second. Tecrave calculation: a 15-second generation at that rate is $1.05. This is not a subscription allowance or a full campaign budget; repeated attempts and other production work still need budgeting.
Google claims better reference-image consistency, while acknowledging continuing limitations with fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics. Tecrave has not tested these claims.
Tecrave analysis: A small retailer could trial one short product explainer, then inspect every frame for altered packaging, lettering and product details. Use reference material you have permission to use. Treat the output as a creative draft that needs checking before publication.
