Google wants to make video creation, something increasingly common in today’s digital landscape, a much more manageable process. On Tuesday, the company announced Google Vids, a video creation app that, according to the company, can turn everyone into “great storytellers” using the power of AI.
According to Google’s announcement in a blog post, Vids is an AI-based standalone application that has been developed to help users create video content, along with other productivity tools like Google Docs and Slides.
Vids is designed to make video creation an accessible task for anyone, without the need for advanced video editing skills. With the AI tool, you can create a video with anything, from stock images to background music.
Vids also frames your creation in a storyboard-like setup to make editing easier; you just have to move parts of the generated video until you achieve the final look you want. When announcing the tool, Google specified that Vids will be officially launched in June for Workspace Labs.
And the tech giant is launching Google Vids as part of several updates released for Google Workspace. Other revealed novelties include an AI-based security add-on, a new table feature for Google Sheets, and a translation tool for Google Meet.
In addition, the company recently enhanced its shopping tool by adding AI: now you can queue up images that help you create a new style or find specific clothing items. While you may not have imagined the creation of such a tool, Google is delivering on this front, whether its audience wants it or not.
