Google’s Gemini Omni 1.1 Adds New Controls for AI Video
Google has updated its Gemini Omni 1.1 tool for making videos with artificial intelligence.
The update gives people more control over how videos look and move.
It can continue a video from where an earlier clip ends.
It can use up to 10 seconds of the earlier video to help the new footage match.
People can also give it a beginning frame and an ending frame.
The tool then creates the video between those two images.
It can make cheaper, faster previews before creating a higher-quality version.
It can now produce videos in 1080p and 4K for professional projects.
Gemini Omni 1.1 can extend videos using up to 10 seconds of prior context.
Users can generate footage between specified starting and ending frames for controlled transitions.
The model creates 360p previews up to 60% faster and at one-third the cost of 720p.
Omni 1.1 supports 1080p and 4K output for professional production workflows.
The model is available through Google AI Studio, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and Google Flow.
