Google DeepMind Introduces Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash with Enhanced Video Controls Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, adding a suite of developer-focused generative video capabilities including scene extension, keyframe interpolation, 360p preview rendering, up to 4K upscaling, and multimodal video referencing. Scene extension analyzes up to 10 seconds of prior context and supports lengthening clips in 10-second increments up to a total of 40 seconds. Keyframe interpolation generates continuous video between specified first and last frames, and multimodal inputs can reference up to three seconds of video. A 360p drafting option renders up to 60% faster at one-third the cost of 720p, alongside support for upscaling to 1080p and 4K. Access is rolling out via Google AI Studio, the Agent Platform API, Google Flow, and the Gemini app for eligible subscribers. Video Continuity and Keyframe Controls Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash introduces new mechanisms for directing generative video sequences. The scene extension feature evaluates up to 10 seconds of prior footage—up from one second in prior models—enabling visual continuity across 10-second incremental extensions up to a total runtime of 40 seconds. Developers can also define the starting and ending keyframes of a shot to generate seamless transitions, loops, and camera movements without jump cuts, as well as include up to three seconds of reference video in prompts to preserve character and stylistic context. Prototyping Performance and Upscaling To accommodate iterative creative workflows, Omni 1.1 Flash offers a 360p resolution setting designed for fast drafting and storyboarding. Based on system throughput, 360p generation operates up to 60% faster and at one-third the cost of the standard 720p format. For final production needs, the system can upscale generated outputs to 1080p or 4K resolution. Availability Across Developer and Consumer Tools The update is accessible through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and via the Agent Platform API for enterprise users. In addition, Omni 1.1 is available globally to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in Google Flow, while the scene extension feature is provided to those same subscriber tiers in the Gemini app.

Aug 27, 2026 | Omni now delivers studio-quality video production, including the ability to extend a scene, first and last frame interpolation, crisp 4K upscaling, faster prototyping, and more.

Listen to article [[duration]] minutes This content is generated by Google AI. Generative AI is experimental Today, we’re introducing Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, a new suite of creative controls and generative video capabilities to support developers. Gemini Omni brought real-world reasoning to generative creation, and today’s updates make Omni 1.1 production-ready for professional use via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio. Whether you’re building generative video workflows, creative tools, or media editing software, these updates make generative video more controllable, faster to iterate on, and polished for real-world deployment. Here’s a look at what’s new: Extend scenes for longer storytelling Scene extension allows you to take an existing video and continue generating footage seamlessly from where it left off. With Omni 1.1, the model can now analyze up to 10 seconds of prior context — a leap from previous models that only referenced the final second. The result is improved visual consistency and narrative adherence, letting you build longer stories or branch into new creative directions. You can extend videos in 10-second increments up to a total cumulative length of 40 seconds. Here’s how you can extend your scene with the Gemini API: from google import genai client = genai.Client() interaction = client.interactions.create( model="gemini-omni-1.1-flash", previous_interaction_id=previous_video_interaction.id, input=[ {"type": "text", "text": "Continue the scene."} ], response_format={ "resolution": "360p", }, ) Specify first and last frames Achieve smooth transitions and camera movements by specifying the starting and ending frames of a shot. Omni 1.1 generates continuous video between two keyframes, making it ideal for complex camera orbits, zoom transitions, or seamless looping clips. Prompt 1: A close-up low-angle shot of a stylish drummer in a beige suit playing a red drum kit in a grand hall transitions as the camera whip-pans to the side, revealing an older saxophonist playing alongside a ballet dancer spinning in a white outfit under soft purple stage lights. One continuous shot, no jump cuts. Prompt 2: The camera zooms into the TV screen, where we see the same woman and the same scene from the beginning. Seamless video. One continuous shot, no jump cuts. Draft videos more efficiently in 360p Generate lightweight previews in 360p resolution up to 60% faster* and at a third of the cost compared to Omni 1.1’s standard 720p resolution. This is helpful for rapid prototyping, storyboard iteration, and quick rendering in developer platforms. *Up to 60% faster generation based on system throughput of 360p vs. 720p resolution Prompt: A microscopic view of iridescent marine diatoms, displaying intricate, glass-like silica shells with breathtaking natural symmetry. The colors range from deep volcanic amber and warm copper to vibrant turquoise and violet, mimicking the rich palette of earth and ocean. Tiny, delicate structures glow softly against a clean dark field background. High-fidelity scientific imaging, sharp details, organic textures, micro-photography. Maintain the microscope lens effect throughout the entire video. Upscale up to 4K resolution Generate polished, high-resolution 1080p or 4K outputs that are ready for professional production with Omni 1.1. Prompt 1: Fish swimming, tracking shot Prompt 2: A little chipmunk darting out of the woods from the left side of the screen and sniffing the air inquisitively before darting out of frame on the right side Prompt 3: Cinematic macro close-up of vibrant golden-orange Japanese maple leaves on a delicate branch, gently rustling and swaying in a soft, rhythmic autumn breeze. Sunlight filters through the translucent foliage, creating a warm, glowing effect. Shallow depth of field, dreamy bokeh background, hyper-detailed textures, photorealistic, 4k. Add video references in your multimodal input Reference up to three seconds of video when crafting your scene, allowing you to maintain visual context and character consistency based on video references. Prompt: Use the three uploaded videos of dancers and replace them with the provided characters. Have them perform their individual dances from the reference videos, all together in the large, open space from the provided image. The dog character dog.png should do the classical dance from dance3.mp4. The octopus octo.png should do the hip hop dance from dance1.mp4, and the bear bear.png should do the breakdance from dance2.mp4. The final result should be one continuous shot with no scene cuts.
