Google announced some good news for Workspace users on Wednesday. Vids, a video editing tool, is free for all users. Previously, it was a paid add-on. do not have all However, it is free from Vids. If you want a bell and whistle with all the new AI, you'll still have to pay.
You may have never heard of VIDS before, but in the end it was a paid add-on, but Google says it has 1 million active users every month. Now that it's free for all workspace users, it might be helpful to have a video editor integrated directly with Google Drive. It should streamline the work for many people.
If all the different Google video tools turn out to be confused, you will be forgiven. To clear things up, there is Google Flow, an AI-powered generation tool aimed at movie users. Of course, Vids is a work-centric video tool that currently has AI capabilities via Gemini. And the Google Veo 3 is the model. This will provide all of Google's AI video tools.
But that is teeth The news that workspace users now have free access to VIDS, like new features, is primarily about adding AI products that are only for business, business, and paid AI plans.
So… what are those AI features?

Google Vids New AI Features
The most unruly new AI feature in VIDS is the ability to convert images into short 8-second video with sound.
“This means you can upload product shots or company stock photos and use text prompts to create animated video clips with native audio tailored to your brand,” Google wrote in a blog post.
Another major addition is the addition of AI avatars. At first glance, it seems less useful to workspace users who are primarily using the service. However, Google pointed out that users can upload scripts and deliver messages to their avatars. This will prove useful for last minute training videos and demos.
The final AI-powered upgrade is a tool to clean up transcriptions. As a journalist doing video interviews, I can prove how useful it is. The idea is that AI-powered features cut out filler words like “hmmm” and troublesome pauses. When you record a video, the editor automatically cuts out the filler and requires less take.
Everything is recently integrated with AI and keeps track of VIDS getting such an upgrade. Hopefully it will make working days a little easier for a few people.
