Decrypt News Artificial Intelligence Google Just Made Free 1080p AI Video Generation Available to Anyone Google Vids now lets any Google account holder generate free HD AI video using Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, with new scene, timing, and watermark controls.

In brief Google Vids now offers free 1080p AI video generation and upscaling to anyone with a Google or Workspace account, accessible at vids.new. The feature runs on Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash and adds controls for scene extension, exact clip duration, and HD output, with every clip carrying an invisible SynthID watermark.

Anyone with a Google account can now generate full HD videos for free inside Google Vids, the company's browser-based video editor, the company announced on September 23.
