In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, Google has launched an AI video maker called Google Vids, available on select Workspace editions. Powered by Google's AI model Gemini, this tool is designed to create workplace and marketing videos using Google Drive files and descriptions.
Features of Google Vids
Start from Scratch or Use Templates
Google Vids offers the flexibility to either start a video from scratch or utilize pre-made templates for a quick first draft. The "Help me create" feature allows Gemini to suggest scripts, making video creation more accessible.
Personalization and Virtual Recording Studio
Users can personalize their videos by incorporating their own photos and videos. The virtual recording studio feature enables users to record videos or audio tracks, adding a personal touch to their projects.
Collaborative Video Projects
As part of Google Workspace, Google Vids facilitates real-time collaboration, allowing team members to work together on video projects seamlessly.
AI in Video Creation: A New Approach
Unlike other AI video tools like Runway's Gen-2 or OpenAI's Sora, which create videos from scratch, Google Vids compiles a slideshow using various media types. It organizes content based on source documents or user suggestions, offering a unique approach to video creation.
Availability
Google Vids is rolling out to Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Essentials, Enterprise Essentials, and Enterprise Essentials Plus members.
