Google shut down the Veo preview models on the Gemini API in October and pointed everyone at Omni instead. On November 5, Omni 1.2 Flash went generally available: clips up to 15 seconds with native audio, edits you make in conversation instead of re-rendering from scratch, and a 30 percent price cut. This post wires it into a Next.js app with code I typechecked against the real SDK, and works out what a finished clip actually costs you.

How this post was verified: the specs and prices come from Google's Omni developer guide and the official Gemini API pricing page, both read on November 7, 2026. Every code snippet below was installed next to Next.js 16.2.6 and typechecked against @google/genai 1.52.0, and one snippet from Google's own docs failed that check, which is section three. I did not run a live generation for this post, because no paid API key was available in my environment, so you will find no quality verdict here that I cannot back. Google published no benchmarks either.…
