Google brings Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash to Vids with 1080p video
By Automate Basics, written with AI from Google's original
Google has added Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash to Google Vids. People making work videos can use it to extend scenes, choose precise clip lengths, generate new 1080p scenes and upscale existing AI clips.
What changed in Google Vids
Google says Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash is now available within Google Vids for generating and extending AI video. The company says extended scenes do a better job of preserving the setting, lighting, a character’s appearance and audio as a clip continues. That could help when a scene needs to run longer without looking or sounding like a different take.
Vids also lets users specify the duration of a generated clip, which could make it easier to match a voiceover. Google says users can generate new scenes in 1080p or upscale existing AI clips to that resolution. Those options matter when a video combines newly generated footage with clips already on its timeline.
Who can use Omni in Google Vids?
Google lists access for Business Starter, Standard and Plus; Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus; Enterprise Essentials and Essentials Plus; Education Plus; Nonprofits; and Individual. Personal Google accounts, Google AI Pro and Ultra, Google AI Pro for Education, Teaching and Learning, and the AI Expanded Access add-on are also listed. Google says the add-on gives its license holders higher Omni usage limits, but does not state those limits in this announcement.
Google began rolling out the feature to both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains on September 23, 2026, with visibility expected within one to three days. The announcement says there is no admin control for the feature. It does not give a price for using Omni in Vids.
How do I try Omni in Vids at work?
A short training video is a useful first task for trying Omni in Google Vids. If a scene ends before the narration does, try extending it to the needed length. Then check whether the surroundings and lighting remain consistent and whether any character or audio changes noticeably. Google describes those as areas where the new model improves extensions, but the finished clip still needs a review.
For a video that mixes generated scenes, compare the resolution of clips across the timeline. Google says Vids can create new AI scenes at 1080p and upscale existing AI clips, so check whether the result looks consistent before sharing it. The announcement points users to Google’s help materials for instructions rather than giving steps in the post.
