Styled captions in Google Vids
Google Vids is an AI-powered video creation app for work, designed to help anyone become a great storyteller. It now allows users to create styled, animated captions that synchronize with audio and media elements. These captions act as a helpful visual guide, improving video comprehension and making content easier for viewers to track. If there are spelling or grammar errors within the styled captions, users can edit and correct the captions.
