Gemini Omni Flash 360p drafts: Google's one-third cost vs Sume rows

Google's claim holds on Sume's price list, within rounding. Google says 360p drafts from Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash are up to 60 percent faster and about one-third the cost of 720p (read 2026-10-04). Sume bills 360p at $0.0375 per second and 720p at $0.125, a ratio of 30 percent.

So a 360p draft costs about 30 percent of the 720p clip, and the 8-second default is $0.30 against $1.00.

What does each Omni tier cost on Sume?

gemini-omni-flash-1.1 is tiered by resolution: 360p, 720p, 1080p and 4K. The provider list is $0.03, $0.10, $0.15 and $0.30 per second, and Sume bills list times 1.25 per output second.

How does a draft-then-final workflow work?

Run the prompt at 360p, keep the takes that move correctly, and re-run only those at 720p or 1080p. Ten drafts of 8 seconds cost $3.00; re-running two winners at 720p adds $2.00.

A re-run is a new job, not an upgrade of the draft, so the second render can differ. Treat the draft as a check on the prompt and the motion, not as a preview of every pixel.

What are the Omni limits on Sume?

Duration is 3 to 10 seconds, 16:9 or 9:16 only, and audio is always on: generate_audio: false is refused. sume/auto defaults to this model at 720p and 8 seconds, and fails closed with a 400 if you ask Auto for 480p, 768p, 2 seconds or 11 seconds.

• Pin gemini-omni-flash-1.1 and set resolution to 360p; Auto defaults to 720p.
• Image and video input_references are accepted; audio references are not.
• Omni's video edit mode follows the source clip's length.

What does the draft request look like?

Pin the model and set the resolution to 360p.
