Omni 1.1 Flash adds scene extension, 4K upscaling

Gemini Omni 1.1 now analyzes 10 seconds of prior context for seamless video extension, supports keyframe interpolation, and generates 360p previews 60% faster—available via Gemini API with production-ready controls.

Summary

Cuts iteration time for video generation workflows through faster 360p drafting and deterministic output via keyframe specification. Enables longer narrative continuity in generative video without flickering or context loss.

Why it matters

Implementation verdict

Replaces ad-hoc frame stitching and manual keyframe hunting. Requires Gemini API key and updates to prompt structure (`previous_interaction_id` for extensions, video references up to 3 seconds). Ready now—rolling out across Google AI Studio, Enterprise Agent Platform, and subscriber tiers.
