Google Vids, an AI-powered tool, is a new way for Google Drive users to expedite video editing. The upgrade, which was revealed last week, gives users a handy shortcut that enables quicker access to editing tools straight from Google Drive. Google Workspace Business, Enterprise, Essentials, Nonprofits, and Education accounts can now access the company’s new web tool, Google Vids. The same capability will also be available to users who have a Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra subscription.
Google Vids is currently available to users who have an account with Google Workspace Business (Starter, Standard, and Plus), Enterprise (Starter, Standard, and Plus), Essentials (Enterprise Essentials and Enterprise Essentials Plus), Nonprofits, or Education (Fundamentals, Standard, and Plus).
The new video editor will also be available to those who have already purchased the Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise add-ons.
Users will now see a “Open” button in the top-right corner of Drive when they preview a video thanks to this improvement. When you click it, the video opens in Google Vids and the file is loaded for editing automatically. Within the Vids interface, users can then apply various artistic edits, add music, trim footage, and insert text. Vids creates a new Vids file after it opens the video file. In order to save or export to an editable file that is not Vids, users will need to follow the standard procedures.
Users can include up to 50 video elements in a single Vids project, such as separate sound effects, music, or voiceover clips. From their compatible Google Drive account, they can easily import photos, movies, and GIFs into Vids or upload them to Google Photos.
Users can also copy files from the internet or upload files straight from their PC. It immediately generates a new Google Vids file after upload; this file must then be saved and exported as a non-Vids file.
Along with this, users can choose to use Veo to make a video clip that they can import into Google Vids. A project outline can also be created by individuals using narration and stock footage.
