Google Vids – Google’s AI video creation tool | AI tool set

What is Google Vids

Google Vids is an AI-powered video creation tool launched by Google for its Google Workspace collaborative office platform, designed to help users easily create and share work-related video content. Users can use simple prompts and materials to integrate, generate storyboards and edit videos. The tool has a rich media library and editing tools built into it, supports dubbing and text-to-speech features, emphasizes collaboration and allows sharing and comments. Google Vids simplifies the video production process, allowing non-professional users to easily create video content, thus playing a role in a variety of work scenarios and improving the effectiveness and interactivity of information transmission.

Google Vids is currently in small-scale beta and is expected to debut in Workspace Labs in June 2024, aiming to improve work communication efficiency and make video a new medium for daily work.

Key features of Google Vids

• Video creation assistance: The user starts the video creation process by entering information such as the goal, audience and length of the video. Google Vids is able to generate a preliminary storyboard based on the user’s description.
• Material alignment: Users can associate documents and other resources in Google Drive with videos to provide content support for videos.
• Storyboard Edit: The generated storyboard can be edited, and users can sort, delete or add video clips to better tell the story.
• Video style selection: Users can choose different video styles. Google Vids will automatically splice videos, recommended scenes, pictures and background music according to the selected style.
• AI video editing: Google Vids uses AI technology to help users edit videos, including automatically generating first-page video drafts and providing sound effects.
• Dubbing and text to voice: The application has built-in studio function, so users can record sounds themselves or use preset sounds to dub. At the same time, Vids supports text-to-voice conversion, making it easier for users to add narration.
• Collaboration and sharing: Users can share videos with team members, allowing them to comment, leave messages and edit videos to achieve collaborative work. It also supports exporting videos to MP4 format for use on other platforms.
