Overview
- Google, which began rolling out Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers on Thursday, is offering quick 360p draft previews and the option to export or upscale selected clips to 1080p or 4K.
- Omni 1.1 introduces Scene Extension that can reference up to 10 seconds of prior video and continue footage in 10-second steps for a maximum cumulative length of 40 seconds to preserve continuity.
- The model supports conversational, multi-turn editing with multimodal inputs — text, images, audio and short video references — plus controls for specifying first and last frames to smooth transitions.
- Google is exposing developer pathways through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and the Enterprise Agent Platform while applying SynthID watermarking to generated content, but it has not published pricing for the higher-resolution tiers and recommends human review for brand-sensitive outputs.
- Omni 1.1 builds on May's Gemini Omni work by raising output quality for marketing and short-form production, yet its 40-second ceiling, review needs and some documentation inconsistencies mean it supplements rather than replaces traditional production workflows.
