Google Vids Gets a Major Upgrade: Easily Create Videos with Generative AI, Everyone Can Be a Director!

Explore the latest generative AI features in Google Vids! From generating videos from images, AI avatars, to automatic editing, creating professional videos has never been easier. Learn how Google Workspace is revolutionizing your content creation workflow with AI, significantly boosting productivity.

In today’s work environment, artificial intelligence (AI) is completely changing the way teams collaborate, communicate, and create content. Video, as a highly engaging communication medium, has also seen its production barrier significantly lowered by the emergence of AI. Google Vids, an AI video creation application under Google Workspace, is leading this revolution, enabling teams of all sizes and skill levels to efficiently produce captivating videos.

Since its launch, Google Vids has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from users. Recently, after the launch of the eight-second short video generation feature powered by Veo 3 technology, Vids’ monthly active users have exceeded one million, clearly indicating a strong market desire for intuitive, AI-driven creative tools.

Today, a series of new features for Google Vids are officially rolling out to all users, offering more diverse ways to create stunning video content. Both veterans and newcomers to Vids can benefit from them.

AI-Powered, Making Video Creation Lightning Fast

The creative ideation and execution process of video production has never been easier.

Turn Images into Videos? Veo Technology Makes It Move

Imagine you only have a product photo or a company image, but you want to create a lively promotional video. Now, this is no longer a fantasy.

The new “image-to-video” feature, powered by Veo technology, can transform static photos into dynamic videos up to eight seconds long with sound effects. Users simply need to upload an image and describe the desired animation effects with simple text commands, and the AI can generate a video that perfectly matches the brand style. This feature is now officially live, so why not try turning your images into eye-catching dynamic stories.

AI Avatars: Your Exclusive Video Spokesperson

Not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and not every team has the resources to hire a professional spokesperson. In the past, this often became a major obstacle to producing training, tutorial, or product demonstration videos.

At this year’s I/O conference, the AI avatar feature was officially announced to solve this pain point. Starting today, users only need to write a script in Vids and then choose an AI avatar to deliver the message. This is the perfect solution for creating content such as training courses, product demonstrations, or new employee onboarding guides.

Smart Editing, Say Goodbye to Tedious Post-Production

The video is shot, but editing is always a headache? Vids has taken this into consideration as well.

The new “automated script trimming” feature can automatically remove filler words (like “um,” “uh”) and unnatural pauses from the video with just a few clicks, freeing creators from tedious editing work.

In addition, more powerful editing features are coming soon, similar to the familiar functions in Google Meet:

• Noise cancellation
• Custom backgrounds and filters
• Appearance adjustment options

These features are expected to be released next month. At the same time, to adapt videos to different platforms, new video size formats, including vertical (9:16) and square (1:1), will be introduced next quarter.

No More Guesswork! New “Vids on Vids” Tutorial Series is Live

To help everyone get started with Google Vids easily, an official new series of “Vids on Vids” tutorial videos has been launched. This series will not only share best practices for video production but also showcase all the powerful features of Vids, such as AI avatars, voiceovers, animations, and a rich media library.

The tutorial content covers the entire video production process, from how to use AI to plan a storyboard to how to use transitions and animations to keep the audience engaged. This video series will be continuously updated as new features are released. You can save this playlist to stay up-to-date with the latest techniques.

Even better, more people can now use Google Vids! Whether you are a subscriber to Business Starter, Enterprise Starter, Google AI Pro, or Ultra, or a Workspace for Education customer, you can use Vids. Not only that, the basic Vids editor without Gemini is now free for all consumers, with a variety of templates available, making it easy to create skill-sharing videos, event invitations, or podcast trailers.
