Google launches a new video collaboration application called Vids announced. Thanks to Gemini, Google Vids aims to make creating videos as easy as creating a slideshow in Google Slides.
Vids provides a timeline interface for bringing together video elements from Drive or elsewhere in chronological order. This is similar to how Slides allows users to organize content in a left-right slide timeline.
Users will be able to record voice-overs or film themselves directly in the app. Various templates and backgrounds are also available in the tool, as well as a ready-made media library for adding video, images or audio. Google’s AI assistant can also create initial storyboards, scripts, or text-to-speech voiceovers to speed up the process.
The goal with Google Vids is to eliminate the need for video production expertise so that any employee can quickly and easily create training videos, presentations, updates, or marketing content.
Rather than just exporting finished videos, Vids also enables deep collaboration. Users will be able to share the videos they create and invite others to comment, take notes, or even edit the video directly.
We should point out that the tool also has a great integration advantage with Gmail, Calendar, Documents and other Workspace products.
