Google Vids now generates 1080p AI video with precise clip lengths
Google said Sept. 23, 2026, that Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash is now in Vids, adding 1080p video generation, 1080p upscaling and precise duration control.
Google is bringing Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash into Google Vids, letting its AI video tool generate new scenes in full 1080p, upscale existing AI-generated clips to 1080p and set an exact duration for a generated clip instead of relying on a default length.
The company said Sept. 23, 2026, in a post on the Workspace Updates blog, that Omni 1.1 “provides higher quality video extension” with “significant improvements in character and audio consistency.”
What changed in Vids
Vids can now generate new AI video scenes directly in full 1080p HD, according to the post. It can also upscale clips that were already generated in Vids up to 1080p, Google said.
Vids also gained duration control: a user can set a specific length for a generated clip so it matches a script or voiceover, rather than accepting whatever default length the tool produces, according to the post.
Rollout and access
The update entered full rollout Sept. 23, 2026, for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release Workspace domains, with feature visibility expected within one to three days, Google said. The post describes availability across paid tiers immediately, with no separate preview or waitlist stage.
Access spans Business Starter, Standard and Plus; Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus; Education Plus; Enterprise Essentials and Essentials Plus; Nonprofits; and Individual Workspace plans, according to the post. It also reaches personal Google accounts on Google AI Pro or Ultra, the Google AI Pro for Education and Teaching and Learning add-ons, and the AI Expanded Access add-on, Google said.
Users on the AI Expanded Access add-on get higher limits on Omni usage in Vids than other eligible users, according to the post.
No admin toggle
Google’s post states explicitly that the feature has no admin control, meaning an administrator cannot turn it off for their organization.
Analysis
No admin control means the choice belongs to the end user, not the organization managing the domain. Once Omni 1.1 reaches a domain, there is no console setting to switch it back off.
Google’s language also leaves out the baseline. The post calls the extension quality “significant” without naming what it is being measured against, whether an earlier version, a rival video tool or an independent benchmark. That word is Google’s characterization alone.
