Google has officially rolled out Google Vids, an AI-powered video creation tool, as part of its Workspace Labs suite. Originally announced in April 2024, the tool is now available for Workspace users, marking a significant addition to Google's productivity offerings.
Google Vids is designed for creating video presentations within the Google Workspace environment. The tool includes the following features:
- AI assistance using Gemini for draft generation
- Integration with other Google Workspace applications
- Pre-designed templates
- Access to royalty-free stock content
- Built-in recording capabilities for voiceovers and video
- Timeline-based editing interface
Google Vids allows users to incorporate various elements such as documents, slides, voiceovers, and video recordings into a timeline to create presentation videos.
The tool is primarily intended for work-related video presentations and differs from AI tools that generate lifelike footage from prompts. Users can start projects using templates or by describing their requirements to the AI.
Workspace administrators can now opt-in users to access Google Vids through the Workspace Labs preview. Google has provided documentation in their help center and a guide on using Vids for those interested in learning more about the tool.
To get started, you can access the tool from here.
