What’s changing 

When constructing a vid, you can easily get started by using a set of generative AI capabilities. Gemini’s ‘Help me create’ can generate a fully editable first draft of your video using a prompt and content from your Google Drive. After choosing a style, Gemini pieces together your vid with suggested scenes, including recommended stock media, text, scripts per scene, and even a background music track. 


Today, we’re introducing updates to the existing ‘Help me create’ feature. Now, Vids will automatically generate AI voiceovers for each scene of your Vid from the AI suggested scripts.


With this update, you can: 
  • Eliminate the manual effort of recording “the perfect take” 
  • Gain easy access to a variety of voiceovers that provide you with professional-sounding video narration 
  • Save time matching voiceovers to scenes in your video with automatic audio to scene alignment 
new ‘Help me create’ feature that automatically generates AI voiceovers for each scene of your Vid from the AI suggested scripts


AI voiceovers are intended to save you time so you can get to a first draft faster, but you are still able to easily edit your suggested scripts and update your voiceovers in one click, or select from a variety of different AI voices with different pitches and tones to best suit your video’s purpose.
