Create Product Promos with Omni 1.2 in Google Vids
Generate free 15-second product videos using Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash in Google Vids with step-by-step instructions.
Google Vids now runs on Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. You can create professional 15-second product promos from a text prompt or reference images without leaving the browser.
This guide shows how to generate, refine, and download your first promo clip using the free allowance.
What changed with Omni 1.2 Flash
Omni 1.2 Flash supports clips from 3 to 15 seconds. It improved consistency for products and characters across frames. Pricing for API use dropped 30 percent to $0.07 per second at 720p. Native audio is included.
In Google Vids anyone with a Google account can generate up to three 15-second videos per month at no extra cost. Workspace plans receive higher monthly seconds.
Prepare your reference assets
Gather clear product photos. Use consistent lighting and a plain or complementary background. One high-quality front view plus two angles works well. Keep file sizes reasonable so upload stays fast.
Write a short brief that names the product, key features, target mood, and desired camera movement. Example: “Matte black water bottle on a wet rock by a mountain stream at sunrise, slow push-in, mist rising, ending on the logo in sharp focus.”
Generate your first clip in Google Vids
Open vids.new and sign in with your Google account. Create a new video or open an existing project.
In the sidebar or creation flow, choose the option to generate a video clip. Select Omni as the model if prompted. Enter your prompt. Choose landscape or portrait orientation and set duration up to 15 seconds. Start at 720p for the free tier.
Click generate and wait. The system produces synchronized video and audio. Preview the result on the right side of the interface.
Refine with conversational edits
Omni 1.2 supports multi-turn editing. Describe changes in plain language. Ask to swap the background, adjust lighting, or change the camera angle while keeping the product consistent.
If the first take is close, edit instead of regenerating. This preserves your monthly free seconds. You can also upload reference images so faces, packaging text, and brand colors stay stable across frames.
Insert and export
Drag the finished clip into your timeline. Add titles, transitions, or additional scenes created the same way. Review the full sequence.
When satisfied, open the File menu and download the MP4. Free clips include SynthID watermarks. Paid plans remove them and unlock higher resolution and longer monthly quotas.
Tips for better product promos
- Specify one continuous shot or list the cuts you want.
- Describe audio explicitly: product sounds, ambient noise, or voiceover style.
- Draft at lower resolution first, then upscale the best version.
- Combine with existing footage by uploading short motion clips as references.

Conclusion
Google Vids plus Omni 1.2 Flash lowers the barrier for product video. Start with the free monthly allowance, refine through conversation, and export ready-to-use clips. The same model is available in the Gemini API and Google Flow when you need higher volume or programmatic control.
