Google announced on September 23, 2026, that people with a Google or Google Workspace account can generate AI video scenes in Google Vids at no cost, using Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash. Google advertises new scenes and upscaling for existing AI clips at 1080p HD; a published test reported 720p output in both horizontal and vertical formats.
What Google says Google Vids can do
Google says users can generate new scenes in 1080p HD and upscale existing AI clips to that resolution. It also describes controls for extending scenes while retaining visual context, lighting, characters’ appearance and environment, and for setting an exact clip duration.
Google says each clip generated with Omni 1.1 in Vids contains an imperceptible SynthID watermark embedded in its frames.
A published test reported 720p
A published test reported 720p output in both landscape and portrait formats. The same test account put the generation time for a short clip at under 30 seconds. Those are observations from that test, not general specifications for every Google Vids account.
Access varies by account tier
Google says Google and Google Workspace account holders can generate videos at no cost. It also describes different levels of generation capacity: personal-account users can explore Google’s AI plans for more access, while Workspace Business and Enterprise plans include expanded generation pools and centralized admin controls.
Google announced a planned voiceover feature
Google also announced a planned text-to-speech feature for Google Vids using Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite. Google said it would support voiceovers in 100+ languages.
