You know how making a professional video used to be a whole thing?
Write a script.
Find stock footage.
Edit it together.
Record a voiceover (hello awkward mic voice).
Spend 3 hours tweaking transitions nobody cares about.
Well, guess what? Google just made all that disappear with one tool that feels like it came straight outta Tony Stark’s basement.
Introducing: Google Vids
It’s Google’s brand-new AI-powered video creation tool — and it’s basically what happens when Gemini AI goes to film school and gets really into productivity.
🚀 What the Heck is Google Vids?
Google Vids is like Slides on steroids. You give it a goal — like “explain this new product” or “summarize my report in a fun way” — and it builds a whole video around it.
âś… Slides? Done.
âś… Script? Written.
âś… Footage? Pulled from stock libraries.
âś… Voiceover? You can record it in the app.
Basically, Google Vids is:
Your creative team
Your editor
Your scriptwriter
Your voice actor
…rolled into one sleek, Gemini-powered AI machine.
And just like Docs, Sheets, and Slides, it all runs in your browser. No software. No drama. No crash-while-rendering heartbreak.
🧠Why This Is a Big Freakin’ Deal
We’ve officially entered the age of “Click. Boom. Content.”
Before:
đź•’ 5 hours, multiple apps, probably a Fiverr gig.
Now:
⚡ 5 minutes, one app, no stress.
Educators, content marketers, founders, course creators — this is your cheat code.
Let me say it louder for the people in the back:
This is Canva + Final Cut + ChatGPT… all chilling inside your Google Drive.
🧪 How to Use Google Vids (Step-by-Step)
Yes, it’s actually this simple. Note that Google Vids is still limited in some areas just to users logged over through bussness accounts (Google workspace), education accounts etc.
✏️ Step 1: Choose Your Video Goal
When you open Google Vids, you’ll be prompted with something like:
“What kind of video do you want to make?”
Select from a list (promo, explainer, training, pitch, etc.) or type your own.
🧠Pro Tip: Be specific. The better your input, the smarter Gemini gets.
🧩 Step 2: Let Gemini AI Do Its Thing
Now sit back and watch the magic. Gemini will:
-
Generate a storyboard
-
Write a complete script
-
Suggest a visual layout with slides
-
Insert stock video and images
It’s like watching a robot Spielberg at work.
🧰 Step 3: Customize It All
Once your draft video is generated, you can tweak everything:
-
Rewrite the script
-
Add or remove slides
-
Swap in your own images or footage
-
Record a voiceover directly in the app
-
Add background music or captions
It’s all drag-and-drop. And completely no-code.
🎬 Step 4: Publish & Share
When you’re happy, export the video and boom — it’s ready to drop on YouTube, LinkedIn, your next investor pitch, or your mom’s Facebook group.
