"In the business world, startups like Sythesia and D-ID offer companies access to AI avatars and related tooling for the creation of training and educational videos. Google is debuting a similar feature for its Workplace customers through Vids. The core pitch is the same: if you don't have enough budget to create videos, use our AI tools to make one. Users can post a script, select an avatar from a range of voices and personas, and create a video."
"Google announced the AI avatars feature at Google I/O in May and released it in beta. Now, the feature is hitting general availability. Google is also adding a video editing feature that automatically detects filler words like "um" or "ah" and long pauses. You can click on these words or pauses to remove them, and the editor will adjust the video accordingly."
Google debuted Vids, a video editor for the Google Workspace productivity suite, and is adding AI avatars, automatic transcript trimming, and image-to-video tools. A limited free consumer version will offer basic edit controls, templates, fonts, and stock media but no AI features. The AI avatars let users submit a script, choose an avatar voice and persona, and generate videos; the feature moved from beta to general availability after being announced at Google I/O. The editor will detect filler words and long pauses for one-click removal. Image-to-video generation will create eight-second clips. Additional work includes noise cancellation, Meet-like backgrounds, effects, and new sizing formats.
