Former smart transitions in Google Flow clips; comparison

Google Flow has been a simple place to make a short video clip, also with a simple way to extend the clips, and several model options to choose from when doing that.

Now Omni Flash has been added, and although it does represent a leap in realism, with the release they changed quite a bit about the set up of the site.

Some models have now been removed and those left don't match up with each other for extending a clip. All choices lead to a bad transition between the clips, at the very least.

I assume Google is planning to increase the video length possible with Omni Flash, but right now it can't be extended; is not available.

So there is no way you can get an "intelligent," generative transition between clips, in which the motion continues seamlessly and the language takes the next logical step, all unnoticeble, as happens in the earlier, first example shown above.

That was the beauty part about Google Flow, or one of the best, most amazing features about it.

Try to find the points at which this 3-clip video transitions; I don't think you will. This is Google Flow's Veo Fast, and I made this a while ago. While the resolution is low, and the images may not be as clear or realistic as they could be, the transition between clips is fantastic. I didn't provide any dialogue, just explained the situation for them, which was to admire the design and then probably for her to sit down. By the way the breaks occur first after he says "are you seeing Sarah?" (I couldn't imagine what she was going to say to folllow up) and as she sits down.
Fast forward to the new Google Flow site set up with the release of Omni Flash, and you can't extend Veo Fast with Veo Fast anymore; discontinued. Same with Veo Quality. So you have mismatched models which, even if you can get them to land on the timeline together have noticeable, awkard transitions, like you see here. This video is Veo "Quality" model extended with Veo Lite (because that's all that's available as an extension).
10 second clip using Omni Flash. Maybe Google intends to eventually allow longer videos with it's new Omni Flash, but right now 10 seconds is the limit, no extensions. Omni Flash is a step forward in realism, though.
