Google is testing an AI-powered video editing app called Vids that integrates Gemini large models to simplify the video creation process. Vids are currently only available to Workspace Labs testers, but there are plans to make them available to paying users later this year. This application is powerful and can assist users in completing the entire process from script creation to material search and video editing. It greatly lowers the threshold for video production and allows users to easily produce videos without professional skills.
Powerful AI video editing functions
Google Vids integrates Gemini large models, which can help users create slideshows, write video scripts, find materials from Shutterstock, and create storyboards for the entire video. Users can edit the video by adding or removing elements such as slides, text fields, pictures, and audio, and ultimately export it as an MP4 file.
The entrance to this feature is in the Google Docs document processing tool. After creating a new project, users only need to describe the theme of the video or the desired effect in a few sentences, and can also ask the AI to use specified files in Google Drive as material. Compared with the warm-up in April, the currently launched beta version temporarily lacks the AI dubbing function.
User friendly, easy to get started
“The idea is, if you can make a slideshow, you can make a video in Vids, no video production experience is required,” Kristina Behr, vice president of product management for Google Workspace collaborative applications, said in April. It greatly lowers the threshold for video production, allowing more users to get started easily.
The online test of Google Vids not only demonstrates its powerful AI technology capabilities, but also further enriches the Google Workspace suite, providing users with efficient and convenient video editing tools. In the future, as more features are improved and launched, Google Vids is expected to become a powerful assistant for video creators.
The launch of the beta version of the Vids application marks an important step for Google in the field of AI video editing. Its convenient and easy-to-use operations and powerful AI functions are expected to change the way of video creation and bring users a more convenient and efficient video production experience. In the future, as technology continues to mature and functions continue to improve, I believe Vids will play a greater role in the field of video creation.
