Google releases Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash: new controls for production-ready video and upscaling to 4K

# What Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash adds

# Practical new controls

The update introduces explicit start and end frame controls. Pinning a first or last frame lets you lock character positions and camera framing across generated transitions. That reduces surprises when you extend or recompose a scene and helps the model preserve visual consistency between shots.

# Scene-extension and draft-then-upscale workflow

Omni 1.1 Flash supports workflows that begin with fast, low-resolution drafts and end with high-quality exports. Google Flow now lets you draft ideas at 360p to iterate quickly on composition and timing. Once you pick a version, you can export higher-resolution results: the Flow announcement mentions downloads at 720p and exports in 1080p or 4K for delivery or further editing in professional pipelines.

# Where you can use it

The features are available inside Google Flow, and Google has exposed the model through Google AI Studio's Gemini API. Enterprise and developer integration is possible through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform API. That means creators can use the Flow app for phone-first drafts and call the APIs for automated or studio workflows.

# Pricing signals and format options

# How this fits into editing workflows

• Quick ideation: draft clips on a phone at 360p to explore framing and motion.
• Control continuity: pinning start/end frames reduces rework when scenes are extended or re-shot.
• Upscale for finish: when a clip is approved, export in 1080p or 4K for broadcasting, social, or broadcast edit systems.

# Who this is for

# Readability and next steps for users

If you already use Google Flow, the new features are available there to try drafting and upscaling. Developers and studios can test or integrate through Google AI Studio's Gemini API or the Agent Platform API. The published per-second pricing gives a sense of cost by resolution for planning renders and budgets.

# Bottom line

Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash tightens the gap between rough generative drafts and production-ready footage by adding deterministic frame controls, scene-extension support, fast low-resolution drafting, and high-resolution output options including 4K. It is available in Flow and via Google's Gemini APIs, with reported per-second pricing that scales by resolution.
