- Edit in conversation: swap a product, background, weather or aspect ratio turn by turn without re-generating the clip.

The headline Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash price is $0.07 per second for 720p, so a 15-second 720p clip costs about $1.05.

In Google Vids, 15-second clips come at no extra cost with a Google account or Workspace plan.

Side-by-side tests on X and YouTube agree on the split. Seedance 2.5 tends to win on motion realism and one-pass long scenes. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash wins when you need many variants fast: same clip, new background, new product, new aspect ratio, at a lower price per second. With 1.2 the gap on clip length shrank from 10 vs 30 seconds to 15 vs 30, and reference following got closer to Seedance's strength.
A simple rule: use Seedance 2.5 for the hero shot, use Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash for the 20 versions of it your campaign needs.
