# Video generation in the Gemini API

Use [Gemini Omni Flash](/docs/omni) (`gemini-omni-1.2-flash`) as your model for
video generation and conversational video editing in the Gemini API. It provides
up to 15-second video generation with native audio, multi-input reasoning
(supporting text, image, and video inputs), character consistency across up to 6
reference images, and multi-turn conversational editing and extension.

The Veo 3.1 Preview in the Gemini API has been shut down.

## Gemini Omni Flash  {% id="omni-flash" %}

Gemini Omni Flash (`gemini-omni-1.2-flash`) is a fast, multimodal model for
video generation and conversational video editing. It excels at turning text
prompts and reference images into 3 to 15 second videos with native audio, and
lets you refine or extend results across multiple turns using the Interactions
API.
