How it works

• Users will be able to generate 1080p videos with Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash at no cost.
• Even as access expanded beyond Gemini for Workspace customers, the AI-powered video generator remained locked behind Google's subscription plans.
• However, Google has been a little more generous in recent months, giving free users a taste earlier this year.
• Anyone with a personal Google or Workspace account can now use the latest Omni model to generate 1080p videos.
• You can give the tool a try by visiting vids.new on desktop and selecting "Create AI videos." However, the company doesn't mention if there are any limits for free users.

What to take from it

Google will soon roll out Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite text-to-speech in Vids for voiceovers. When Google Vids rolled out in 2024, it was initially intended as a tool for professionals. Now the company is opening the door for everyone to use Vids with its latest video generation model.

Example or evidence

• Keep in mind that any video you create will have a SynthID digital watermark embedded in its frames.
• It only notes that you may want to check out its Google AI plans for more access.
• Along with this announcement, Google revealed that it will soon roll out Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite text-to-speech in Google Vids.
• This model is designed to turn a script into a voiceover for your generated video.

Details worth keeping

Google's Omni video generator is now free to try in Vids. What's even better is that you'll be able to generate videos at no cost. The company says that Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite will support over 100 languages when it rolls out.
