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",
    },
)
