Google has unveiled Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, a production-ready update that empowers developers with advanced control over generative video. This new release brings improved scene extension, precise frame control, and high-resolution 4K output capabilities. Developers can now extend existing video clips seamlessly, specifying start and end frames for smooth transitions, and generate 4K footage at a fraction of the cost of previous models.

Additionally, Omni 1.1 offers lightweight 360p previews for rapid prototyping and storyboarding, enabling faster iteration and cheaper development. With these enhancements, generative video workflows, creative tools, and media editing software become more controllable, efficient, and polished for real-world deployment. The updated model can be accessed via Google AI Studio or the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, making it accessible to developers worldwide.
