What you need to know
- Google Vids is introducing the capability to create AI-generated voiceovers for your projects.
- You could previously utilize AI to produce videos and sample scripts in Google Vids.
- Now, you can construct an entire project — video, scripts, and audio — utilizing AI in Google Vids.
Google Vids is a relatively new Google Workspace service that utilizes AI and Gemini to create videos and presentations from scratch. It aims to be a more practical option to other video-generation tools, focusing on work and educational applications such as presentations, slideshows, and other forms of content delivery. Google announced this week that it is expanding Vids’ AI capabilities with the option to generate voiceovers.
After creating a video with Google Vids, the “Help me Create” feature allowed for the creation of a voiceover script with AI. The latest update goes further by using AI to narrate the script that was previously generated. Google highlights the following benefits of utilizing Help me Create for AI voiceovers:
- “Eliminate the manual effort of recording ‘the perfect take'”
- “Access a variety of voiceovers for professional-sounding video narration”
- “Save time by automatically aligning audio to scenes in your video”
After creating a sample script and AI voiceover, you have the flexibility to edit both with ease, enabling you to explore different tone, pitch, and voice options. These script and voiceover choices are available through Help me Create once you open or create a Google Vids project.
This feature is currently only accessible to paid Google Workspace subscribers on the following plans:
- Business Standard and Plus
- Enterprise Standard and Plus
- Essentials, Enterprise Essentials, and Enterprise Essentials Plus
- Education Plus
- Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education Premium add-ons
AI-generated voiceovers are being rolled out in Google Vids, but it may take up to 15 days from the initial release date (March 20) for the functionality to be available to all users.
