This tool, which was previously only available to professional users and subscription plans, now offers the power of the Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model for free to all users. This development stands out as part of Google's strategy to make artificial intelligence-supported video production tools more accessible.
Video Production with Gemini Omni
Users can quickly begin the video creation process via their desktop browser by visiting vids.new. The “Create AI videos” option in the interface allows you to produce videos at 1080p resolution using the Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model.
With the integration of this new model, Google has greatly simplified the video creation process. The SynthID digital watermark is automatically added to the frames of each video produced, indicating that the content was created by artificial intelligence.
The company did not specify any usage limits for free users, but reminds that those who want more access can check out Google AI plans. Although this tool was originally designed only for professional workflows, it has now become a structure that anyone can use in their creative projects.
The Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model performs very efficiently in producing high-quality video outputs. Users can prepare their videos in minutes with text-based commands without the need for complex editing software.
New Voiceover Features
In addition to its video creation capabilities, Google also announced a significant update on the voice-over side. Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite model, which will be added to the platform soon, will automatically convert texts into voiceovers.
This new voice-over model will have the ability to turn the scripts you write into a professional voice-over for your video. Google announced that this feature will support more than 100 languages when it becomes available.
With Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite, the expressive power of videos will increase significantly. Instead of recording their own voices, users will be able to choose natural voice options offered by artificial intelligence.
These new features of the platform provide great convenience, especially for content producers and professionals who need to prepare fast presentations. Google aims to take the user experience further by continuing its developments on Vids.
