The Gemini API offers two models for generating video, Gemini Omni Flash and Veo. Each are designed for different workflows.
Use Gemini Omni Flash as your default model for video generation. It provides superior video coherence, multi-input reasoning (supporting text, images, audio, and video inputs simultaneously), character consistency, factual accuracy, and multi-turn conversational editing (e.g., element replacement or perspective changes). Use Veo 3.1 for specific capabilities like scene extension, last-frame control, or integration with legacy pipelines are required.
Gemini Omni Flash
Gemini Omni Flash is a fast, multimodal model for video generation and conversational video editing. It excels at quickly turning text prompts and images into short videos, and lets you refine results across multiple turns using the Interactions API.

features like video extension, frame-specific generation, and image-based
direction through the generateContent API.

If you need to ingest and analyze existing video content rather than generate new video, see the Video understanding guide.
