Gemini Omni Text-to-Video Pricing: Credits and Dollars per Clip

Exact VdoBloom credit costs for Gemini Omni Text-to-Video at every duration and resolution, converted to dollars, with the 4K surcharge math and a drafting workflow that avoids waste.

Gemini Omni Text-to-Video costs between 36 and 120 credits per clip on VdoBloom — $1.80 to $6.00 at the Lite plan rate of $0.05 per credit — and only two settings move that number: clip length (4, 6, 8 or 10 seconds) and resolution (720p, 1080p or 4K). There is no per-prompt fee, no charge for a failed render, and no separate export cost. The price you see before you press generate is the price you pay.

How VdoBloom credits convert to dollars

Every model on VdoBloom is billed in one shared credit balance, so the only conversion you need is the price you paid for those credits. On the Lite plan, $15 a month buys 300 credits, which makes one credit worth exactly $0.05. That is the rate used throughout this article, and it is the most expensive rate a paying customer can be on — every larger plan brings it down.

For context, the Pro 2,000-credit plan is $59 a month, which works out at $0.0295 per credit. Paid annually, the same 2,000-credit tier delivers 24,000 credits for $588, or roughly $0.0245 per credit. In other words, the dollar figures in the tables below are a ceiling: a Pro annual subscriber pays a little under half of them for identical output. The full ladder is on the pricing page.

Two things this table tells you immediately

720p and 1080p cost the same. This is not a rounding artefact — the credit table genuinely charges 36 credits for a 4-second render whether you select 720p or 1080p, and the same identity holds at 6, 8 and 10 seconds. There is therefore no reason to ever pick 720p on this model. Select 1080p, pay nothing extra, and keep the option of delivering at full HD.

4K is a flat surcharge of 48 credits. Not a percentage — a flat +48 credits ($2.40) at every length. That has a useful consequence: the 4K premium is proportionally punishing on short clips and mild on long ones. Going 4K on a 4-second render more than doubles its price (36 to 84 credits). Going 4K on a 10-second render raises it by two-thirds (72 to 120). If you know a shot needs 4K, make it a long shot.

Cost per second falls as the clip gets longer

DurationCredits per second (1080p)Credits per second (4K)Dollars per second (1080p)
4 seconds9.021.0$0.45
6 seconds8.016.0$0.40
8 seconds7.513.5$0.375
10 seconds7.212.0$0.36

The 10-second setting is the best value per second at both quality bands, by a wide margin at 4K. If your edit needs eight seconds of usable footage, generating a single 10-second clip at 72 credits beats generating two 4-second clips at 36 credits each — same 72 credits, but one continuous take instead of two that will not cut together cleanly.

Video-to-video is priced on a different rule

The Gemini Omni video-to-video variant, available in the AI edit workflow, ignores duration entirely and charges a flat rate by resolution: 96 credits at 720p ($4.80), 96 credits at 1080p ($4.80), and 143 credits at 4K ($7.15). Because there is no length multiplier, a short transformation and a long one bill the same. Feed it the longest source clip you genuinely need transformed rather than splitting the job.

What a subscription actually buys in Gemini Omni clips

The honest line in that table is the first one. New accounts get 10 free credits with no card, but the cheapest Gemini Omni render is 36 credits, so the free allowance does not reach it. If you want to test VdoBloom before paying, spend the free credits on a lower-cost model first — several sit in the 10-credit range — and come to Gemini Omni once you know the platform. The free AI video generator page explains what the free balance does cover.

A drafting workflow that does not waste credits

Because 4K is a flat surcharge, the efficient pattern is obvious once you see the numbers. Lock your prompt at 4 seconds and 1080p for 36 credits a try. Three or four attempts at that setting costs 108 to 144 credits and tells you whether the composition, lighting and motion are what you wanted. Then re-run the winning prompt once at 10 seconds and 4K for 120 credits. Total spend for a finished 4K master with real iteration behind it: roughly 230 to 265 credits, or $11.50 to $13.25 at the Lite rate.

The wasteful pattern is the opposite: iterating at 4K. Four attempts at 10 seconds and 4K is 480 credits ($24.00) for the same creative information the cheap drafts would have given you. Start work in the text-to-video workspace, where the credit cost for the selected duration and resolution is displayed before the job starts.

When another model is the cheaper answer

Gemini Omni sits in VdoBloom’s strict content tier, it outputs 16:9 and 9:16 only, and it stops at 10 seconds. If you need square framing, longer takes, or a more permissive content filter, the price advantage of a different model is beside the point — it is the only model that will do the job. If you need a cheaper 4-second draft specifically, the sibling Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 adds a 360p tier, and the full spec sheet for this model lives on its model page. Every paid plan downloads without a watermark and with commercial rights, which is covered in detail on the no-watermark generator page.

Frequently asked questions

Does a failed or rejected Gemini Omni generation cost credits?

You are charged for the render you requested, and VdoBloom shows the exact cost before the job starts. Prompts refused by the provider’s content filter do not produce a video; if credits are deducted for a job that returned nothing, that is a support case, not a pricing rule.

Why is 1080p the same price as 720p?

The underlying provider charges one rate across the sub-4K band, and VdoBloom passes that structure through rather than inventing an intermediate tier. Practically, it means 720p on this model is a legacy option with no cost benefit.

What is the absolute cheapest Gemini Omni Text-to-Video clip?

36 credits, for a 4-second render at 1080p. At $0.05 per credit that is $1.80; on a Pro annual plan the same clip is closer to $0.88.

Do credits expire if I do not use them?

Credits bought in a one-time pack never expire. Subscription credits arrive with each billing cycle, so plan your monthly Gemini Omni volume against the clip counts in the table above.

Is image-to-video priced the same as text-to-video?

Yes. The Gemini Omni image-to-video variant uses the identical credit table — 36 / 48 / 60 / 72 below 4K and 84 / 96 / 108 / 120 at 4K — so supplying a starting frame neither adds nor saves credits.
