Google Slashes AI Video Generation Price to 7 Cents Per Second, 15-Second Clips Can Be Edited Through Conversational Prompts

Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. As reported by Asif Razzaq of MarkTechPost, this is a video generation and editing model that supports native 15-second clips and multi-turn conversational editing. 720p videos are priced at $0.07 per second, 30% lower than the previous pricing.

Pricing Breakdown First

At $0.07 per second, a full 15-second 720p clip costs around $1.05. Generating 100 such clips adds up to $105 on paper. Video model product launches are increasingly resembling cloud service price lists. For developers, the cost sheet is far more worth reviewing than the parameter spec sheet; for regular users, per-second pricing makes the cost of trial and error fully transparent.

Native 15-Second Clips

The core value of native 15-second clips lies in their completeness. A product demo shot, the opening segment of a voiceover, or a piece of social media content all fit perfectly into 15 seconds. Long-form videos still require segmentation and splicing, but native longer clips reduce the need to stitch multiple short segments together, even as total narrative length remains limited.

Multi-Turn Conversational Editing

Multi-turn conversational editing is another key change. Officially named conversational editing, the feature lets users submit modification requests through a continuous chat thread. What exact edits it supports — whether shot adjustments, style changes, or partial element tweaks — still requires checking official documentation and real-world testing. What is confirmed is that it targets the pain point of repeated full re-generations that waste massive amounts of time and money. If conversational editing runs stably, the standard video creation workflow will be significantly shortened.

Target Users

Short video content teams, ad material creators, e-commerce showcase producers, and API developers. Ordinary users can also calculate the exact cost of a video second by second, no more guessing at unclear bundled plans. The limitations are also obvious: 15 seconds is not long enough for many use cases, full editing capabilities need to be verified in real scenarios, and the low price does not mean the generated clip is ready for final use. Competition in AI video generation has shifted from the question of "can you generate video" to "how much does it cost per second" and "how long does an edit take to process".
