Attention video creators and anyone who needs to make presentations more engaging! Google just launched a new tool called Google Vids within Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). This is exciting news because Google Vids uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help you create videos quickly and easily, even if you’re not a professional editor.
Meet Your AI Video Assistant: Gemini
Imagine having a super-smart assistant who can brainstorm video ideas with you, write scripts, find pictures and videos to go along with your script, and even create a basic outline for your video – all in just a few minutes. That’s what Google Vids offers, thanks to its built-in AI helper called Gemini.
Here’s how Gemini can help you make videos:
Need video ideas? Stuck staring at a blank screen? Just tell Gemini a few things about what you want your video to be about, and it will suggest video topics and even write a script for you!
Finding visuals is a breeze: Need cool pictures or short video clips to make your video more interesting? Gemini can search through a giant library of stock footage and images and add them to your project for you.
Storyboarding made easy: Storyboards are basically a plan for your video, showing what will happen in each scene. Creating them can be time-consuming, but Gemini can do it automatically based on your concept and script.
More Than Just Automatic Videos
While Gemini can do a lot of the work for you, Google Vids isn’t all about just letting the AI take control. You can still be creative and have a say in how your video turns out:
Start from scratch or use a template: You can either begin with a blank canvas or choose from pre-made templates to give your project a jumpstart.
Editing freedom: Don’t like what Gemini suggested? No problem! Google Vids has a user-friendly editing interface where you can add, remove, or change things around. You can add slides, text, pictures, or even record your own voice or video clips to personalize your creation.
Export and share: Once you’re happy with your video, you can easily export it as an MP4 file. This makes it simple to share your video with your audience.
See What Google Vids Can Do
People who are testing Google Vids early on have shared screenshots of videos they made using prompts like “Inform employees about the benefits of video games.” While the AI’s creations are still being improved, they already provide a good starting point for building informative and engaging videos.

What’s Coming Next for Google Vids?
The first version of Google Vids doesn’t have everything it did when Google first showed it off, like narration done by AI. But Google is working hard to make it better. As Google Vids rolls out to people who pay for Google Workspace in the coming weeks, we can expect the AI features and everything else it can do to become even more powerful.
Is Google Vids a Good Fit for You?
Think of Google Vids as your new best friend for creating short, informative videos for things like talking to your team at work, giving presentations, or making educational videos. It’s similar to easy-to-use video editing tools like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, but with the added benefit of having a super-smart AI assistant to help you along the way.

Beyond the Basics: What Else Can Google Vids Do?
While this article covers the main features of Google Vids, there are a few other things to keep in mind:
Google Vids integrates with other Google Workspace tools: This means you can easily add things from your Google Drive, like documents or spreadsheets, to your videos.
Accessibility features: Google Vids includes features like closed captions, which can make your videos more accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Security and privacy: Google says that your videos and any information you use with Google Vids are secure and private.
Overall, Google Vids is a promising new tool that can help anyone create professional-looking videos quickly and easily. With its AI-powered features and user-friendly interface, Google Vids has the potential to revolutionize the way videos are created. So, why not give it a try and see what you can create?
