Google lets anyone generate free 1080p AI videos in Google Vids

Google said Tuesday that anyone with a Google account can now generate free 1080p AI videos in Google Vids, expanding its latest video model beyond earlier rollouts in more specialized products and pairing the launch with built-in provenance labeling through SynthID watermarking.

In a Sept. 23 blog post titled “Anyone can make stunning HD videos with Gemini Omni in Google Vids,” Justin Luk, product manager for Google Vids, said the company has integrated Gemini Omni 1.1 and Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash into its video-creation app. “We integrated our newest AI models into Google Vids so anyone with a Google Account can create videos for free,” Luk wrote.

The move matters because it brings Google’s newer video-generation technology into Google Vids, a mainstream editing and presentation tool, rather than limiting it to standalone demos or narrower creative surfaces. Google has already been rolling Omni into other products this year, including the Gemini app, YouTube Shorts and Google Flow. Tuesday’s announcement makes that push more directly available inside Vids with an explicit promise of free HD generation.

Google said users can now make HD clips inside Vids and edit them with a broader set of controls. “You can now create high-quality, 1080p videos for free using the new Gemini Omni model in Google Vids,” the company said in the post. It also highlighted the ability to extend scenes with smooth transitions, set exact clip durations, use templates and upscale existing AI clips so they blend more naturally across a timeline. Google directed users to try the feature on desktop at vids.new.

On access and pricing, Google said the feature is available at no cost to anyone with a Google or Google Workspace account. At the same time, the company did not publish exact per-account free usage quotas in the announcement. Instead, it pointed users to Google AI plans and Workspace tiers for more capacity, and said Workspace Business and Enterprise plans include expanded generation pools and centralized admin controls.

Google also leaned heavily on provenance, or tools meant to help identify AI-generated media. “Every clip generated with Omni 1.1 in Google Vids includes an imperceptible SynthID digital watermark embedded into the video frames,” the company said. That framing positions the rollout as both a creative feature and a content-origin measure.

The broader Gemini Omni family has been in public view for months. Google DeepMind’s Omni Flash model card says, “Initially Published: May 2026, Last Updated: August 2026,” and describes the technology this way: “Gemini Omni Flash is our next step towards models that can create and edit anything from any input—starting with video.”

But Google’s own model card also outlines limits that matter for users trying the feature in Vids. It says the model can generate high-quality, high-resolution video with audio, while also noting imperfect consistency across edits and challenges with some complex motion and text rendering. The card also says some capabilities remain restricted for safety, including changing people’s speech, at least for now.

Google said another Vids feature is coming soon: Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite text-to-speech, which the company says will turn scripts into voiceovers in more than 100 languages.
