What can you make with Omni 1.2 Flash in Google Vids?

A new engine for the editor

Google Vids is a video creation and editing tool that now runs on Google's newest video generation model: Omni 1.2 Flash. The change took effect on November 5, 2026. Before this update the service relied on an earlier version of the model. The announcement does not specify which model preceded Omni 1.2 Flash or how long it had been in use.

The monthly allowance

Starting today anyone with a Google account or Google Workspace subscription can generate up to three 15-second videos per month in Vids at no cost. The limit applies to each account. The announcement does not say whether unused generations roll over to the next month. It also does not mention paid tiers that would raise the cap.

Three clips. That is the ceiling.

Reference frames lock the look

With Omni 1.2 in Google Vids you can upload reference images from anything — a trip, a school project, or learning materials — and your characters and scenes will stay consistent from the first frame to the last. The model transforms static imagery into engaging videos. You can create product promos in one go. You can produce professional quick-turn social content and promotional materials without a single cut.

Natural narration

Improved speech narration makes social clips, concept explainers, and teaser videos feel like something you recorded yourself. The announcement does not detail which languages are supported or whether voice cloning is available. It also does not describe how the narration quality compares to the previous model in measurable terms.
