Why Google Vids has me stoked for the future of effortless video ...
I'm counting down my top reasons to get excited about AI-powered Google Vids, which is coming to Google Workspace alongside apps like Docs and Slides. For a long time, Google has been trying to make work life easier. Whether it was the invention of Gmail, which has become the popular email provider worldwide, or Google Drive which holds a lot of free apps for productivity and organization, Google has been using its technology to gain a large share of professional establishments' usage. It has looked to create its own version of presentation software, spreadsheets, word processors, and more, and has done so.
Introducing Google Vids
One of the newest forays into the professional workspace is Google Vids. Announced in April, the app will make it easier for companies, teams, or teammates to collaborate across different projects by making videos simpler to share and create. It will combine the technology of Gemini AI with other Google functions to speed up the process of making videos for work projects.
Key Features of Google Vids
Google Vids, announced on April 9, 2024, is a video creation app in Google Workspace, designed for work-related videos like training and updates. It's currently in testing with some Google Workspace Labs users and will hit public beta in summer 2024. The app features AI-assisted storyboard creation and allows for collaborative projects, with a limit of three-minute videos.
AI-Powered Presentations
When using Vids, you can leverage Gemini AI's chatbot functionality to generate ideas for your presentations. Simply type in a command like "Help me plan a slideshow for my pitch about dog bowls," and Vids will branch off multiple ideas for your presentation, providing you with a starting point for your project.
Customization and Collaboration
After setting up your presentation's foundation, you can customize it to your liking. Vids offers templates to streamline the design process and allows for the integration of stock videos from Google's library. Additionally, you can incorporate pre-recorded messages using Google Speak technology and even record yourself for a personalized touch.
Collaborative Editing
Vids facilitates collaboration by enabling team members to provide feedback directly on the video. Users can leave comments on specific parts of the presentation and edit the content in real-time, making it a seamless process for team projects.
Future Outlook
Google Vids is poised to revolutionize video creation in the workplace, offering a user-friendly platform with AI-driven capabilities. As the beta testing phase progresses, users can expect a more efficient and collaborative video editing experience.
