Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is now in Picsart, so you can draft AI video fast at 360p and finish the best take in 4K. Google Cloud named Picsart in its launch announcement as one of the creative platforms building the model into its products. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is ready to use in Picsart AI Playground.
Why Picsart builds with Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
In the announcement, Narek Hayrapetyan, Head of Product and Partnerships at Picsart, shared how Picsart teams use the model:
“Gemini Omni 1.2 fits the way our teams work. Draft mode lets us iterate concepts in minutes, then render in 4K for TV-ready AI dramas. Text stays crisp across frames, characters look and sound real, and the speed keeps production moving. Now that it is generally available, we can bring this quality to over 100M Picsart creators.”
Here is what that means when you make videos with it:
- Test ideas quickly. Draft mode turns a concept into a rough clip in minutes, so you can try several versions and render only the one you like in 4K.
- Make videos for bigger screens. 4K output means an AI drama episode looks sharp on a TV, not just on a phone.
- Keep text and characters steady. On-screen words stay readable, and characters keep the same face from shot to shot, two things AI video often gets wrong.
- Spend less time waiting. Faster generations keep a project moving, from the first episode to the last.
- Use it as a Picsart creator. Now that the model is generally available, the same workflow is open to more than 100 million Picsart creators.
Google also published a short showcase of the model running inside Picsart:
What changed in Gemini Omni 1.2
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash brings four upgrades that change the most for creators in Picsart.
- Draft mode. A fast, low-cost 360p pass for testing ideas before the final render.
- 4K output. Final renders go all the way up to 4K, sharp enough for large screens and long-form series.
- 15-second clips. A single generation now runs up to 15 seconds, up from 10, which leaves room for a full beat of action instead of a fragment.
- Closer reference following. The model sticks more faithfully to image and video references, so a product, a character, or a logo holds steady through every second of the clip.
How draft mode works
Each resolution has its own job in the draft-to-final loop.
- 360p is the sketchpad. Use it for every new idea, every alternate opening, and every pacing test.
- 720p is the default and works well for sharing a cut with a client or teammate for feedback.
- 1080p suits finished social posts and ads headed for phones and laptops.
- 4K is for the take that has to hold up on a big screen, from a TV-ready drama episode to a hero shot that needs room to crop.

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash use cases
TV-ready AI dramas
Block every scene of an episode in 360p, review the whole cut, and send only the approved takes to 4K. The finished episode holds up on a TV screen as well as a phone.
Videos with on-screen text
Title cards, captions, signage inside a scene, and the call to action at the end of an ad all depend on legible type, and the model keeps it sharp across the clip.
Recurring characters and products
A recurring cast needs the same faces, outfits, and props in every shot. Attach as many as five image references and three video references, and the model holds them across a full 15-second scene. The same logic keeps a product or logo on-brand across a campaign.
Ad variants at volume
Turn one brief into a batch of rough 360p cuts, compare which opening grabs attention, and render only the strongest versions at 1080p or 4K. Brand clips built straight from product references follow the same loop.
Product spins and try-on clips
Product photos already on hand can become motion. Attach front and back shots of a product, or a model photo plus the outfit, and ask for a slow turn, a lifestyle moment, or a short try-on sequence. Closer reference following keeps the cut, color, and details intact as the camera moves.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash prompts to try
These three prompts cover the main use cases above. Paste one into AI Playground and adapt it to your project.
Vertical 9:16, 15 seconds. Night on a rain-streaked rooftop in a neon-lit city. A young woman in a red trench coat turns to face a man holding a sealed envelope. Slow push-in from a wide shot to a close-up of her face as she reaches for the envelope. Cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, same wardrobe throughout. 16:9, 10 seconds. A glass perfume bottle rotates on a sage-green pedestal under soft studio light. Bold white title text reading “NIGHT BLOOM” fades in above the bottle and stays sharp while the camera orbits slowly. Ends on a clean close-up of the bottle. 9:16, 8 seconds. The sneaker from the reference image turns a full 360 degrees on a white turntable with soft shadows, then the camera tilts down to a close-up of the sole. Keep the colorway, logo, and laces exactly as in the reference.AI drama scene

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash tips for better results
- Choose the format first. Use 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, and 16:9 for YouTube and TV.
- Write the whole clip. Describe a beginning, a middle, and an end instead of one frozen moment.
- Name one camera move. A single push-in, orbit, or pull-out reads more polished than several.
- Let references carry the look. Attach images or videos for what must stay the same, and prompt for what changes.
- Put exact words in quotation marks. On-screen text comes out cleaner when the prompt spells it out.
