• Google has started testing its AI-powered video editing app, dubbed Vids.
• The app is available exclusively to Workspace Labs testers, but its expected to roll out to paying users later this year.
• Vids uses Googles Gemini AI to quickly create a storyboard and script after you describe the videos theme and purpose.

Earlier this year, Google announced a new AI-powered video creation app within the Google Workspace suite. Dubbed Google Vids, its a tool meant to assist you in quickly creating internal video content and the result is almost like a PowerPoint presentation on steroids. At the time, Google said it would begin testing the feature in June. It now appears that the company has kept its promise, as keen-eyed Workspace Labs users have spotted that the app is now live and fully functional (h/t Artem Russakovskii).

While you can start a video project from scratch, Google Vids has a Gemini AI integration that does the hard work for you. The list of things the AI can do on your behalf is quite extensive — it can create slides, write a script, find relevant stock footage from Shutterstock, and generally storyboard the entire video. You can then edit the video by adding or removing elements like slides, text fields, images, and recordings before exporting it as an MP4 file.
