Why we said Use
What it is
Google’s native video model in the Gemini API. See the official page. This profile describes public documentation, not a Loaded Tokens hands-on test.
Who it is for
Developers who want a short generated clip from an API they already have. The recommendation is scoped to that job.
The evidence behind Use
The November 5 post is the availability and price note, including a SynthID watermark. The source page is the receipt. No speed ranking or reliability score is implied.
Pricing and the catch
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available. Google’s post prices 720p at $0.07 a second, 30 percent under Omni 1.1, for clips up to 15 seconds. Public pricing or license checked November 7, 2026. Amounts are as stated on that page. Tax, region, annual billing, and extra usage can change the bill.
A sensible first workflow
Generate one short clip in a project that can tolerate a watermark. This is a suggested evaluation, not a test we ran.
Bottom line: Use it when 15 seconds and a published per-second price fit the job.
