Google added AI avatars, the image-to-video Veo 3 tool, and automatic transcript trimming capabilities to its video editor, Vids, in the Workspace productivity suite this month.
Another feature automatically detects and removes long pausers and filler words, such as “um” or “ah.”
These new AI-powered features will be available to Workspace Business or Enterprise Starter users, a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriber, or a Workspace for Education customer.
In competition with startups like Synthesia and D-ID, Google also released a free-to-use version with basic controls, access to Google’s template, font collection, and stock media libraries, but no AI features at this time.
In this segment, where users post a script, select an avatar from a range of voices and personas, and create a video, the core pitch is “use our AI tools to create videos if you don’t have enough budget.”
