Google Vids now makes up to three free 15-second AI videos a month with Omni 1.2 Flash
Google blog· 5 NovGoogle says Google Vids now runs on its newest video model, Omni 1.2 Flash. From Thursday, anyone with a Google account or a Google Workspace subscription can generate up to three 15-second videos a month in Vids at no cost. You can upload reference images so characters and scenes stay consistent, and Google says speech narration is improved. You start at vids.new.
- Try one clip of a product or an offer at vids.new and see whether it is good enough for a social post before you pay for any video tool.
- Check the clip for wrong details, such as logos, prices or text, before you post it, and keep your three monthly clips for the ones that matter.
