Google unveiled Google Vids in April at the Cloud Next 2024 event. Soon after the unveiling, the company is now allowing Workspace Labs users to test the AI video creator. According to the tech giant, Google Vids can enable users to create, edit, produce, write, collaborate and share videos. It can create videos using "help me create" prompts with the help of Gemini.
First spotted by X (formerly called Twitter) user Artem Russakovskii, the Workspace app works with Docs, Sheets and Slides and users can add their own media content from Drive or the Vids stock content library. According to 9To5Google, to try out Vids, the domain is - docs.google.com/videos. But it is not available for everyone. As per Google Docs Editors Help, users with Gemini Alpha and Workspace Labs access can make or share videos.
Users with a Google Account can view or collaborate on video projects. The maximum duration for the output from Vids is 10 minutes. It works on the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. It supports a range of audio (ogg, flac, m4a, mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpeg3, ogg, wav, x-flac, audio/x-m4a, audio/x-wav), image (PNG, JPEG, or GIF) and video (mp4, ogg, quicktime or webm) file types.
Google Vids, Google's video/presentation AI creation tool, is live for me. Google promised it'd go live in June, and so it did.https://t.co/7Z0XziSSur pic.twitter.com/EP2OMoB68i

To start creating videos, eligible users can choose from the four available options: Help Me Create, Select a template, Start with a recording and Upload media. However, note that the app may not be available to all users yet. The report noted that while the home screen gets a Material Theme layout, the editor boasts a Material 3 treatment.
While it is currently available to Workspace Labs users, Gemini for Workspace users may gain the functionality to test the model soon. The UI and the video creation experience may kick back memories of iMovie or Windows Movie Maker for some users.
