Google's video platform, Google Vids, is now accessible at no cost, and its advanced AI tools are worth exploring.

Google has recently launched a new AI-powered video editing tool, Google Vids, as part of their Vertex AI platform. This free video editor, available to anyone with a Google account, promises to revolutionise the way users create and edit videos.

Google Vids is heavily reliant on AI, yet it still provides fundamental non-AI features for video editing. It offers an array of AI-powered tools courtesy of Gemini integration, including an AI avatar feature for users to present scripts as a voiceover, an AI-powered tool for automatically trimming video transcripts, and noise cancellation, backgrounds, filters, and appearance adjustments, which will be available later this year.

The free version of Google Vids allows users to turn their material into a video using preset templates. Users can upload videos, audio, GIFs, and stickers in various file formats from their computer. They can also import slides for presentations and create videos quickly. Each element added to the video has its own tracker on the timeline for precise control.

Google Vids is deeply integrated with all Google services, making it easy for users to access and use. It can be accessed by typing in the browser's URL bar or finding it in the app launcher drop-down menu on desktop.

In addition to its AI features, Google Vids offers traditional video editing tools such as scene transition effects, multi-layer audio, adjusting audio timing and transitions, and capturing screen activity as a clip. Users can also add text and objects to the video and adjust their orientation.

Google has also launched an educational "Vids on Vids" series to help users get started with Google Vids. This series provides step-by-step guides and tutorials to make the most of the new video editor.

One of the standout features of Google Vids is its ability to convert images into videos. This feature, along with the ability to create clips in portrait and square aspect ratios later this year, makes Google Vids a versatile tool for creating engaging visual content.

With Google Vids, creating and editing videos has never been easier. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned video editor, Google Vids offers a range of tools to help you bring your ideas to life. Access to Google Vids is free for anyone with a Google account, so why not give it a try today?
