Overview
- Google is making three Gemini-powered Vids features available to anyone with a Gmail account: AI voiceovers, transcription trim, and AI image editing.
- Transcription trim removes filler words and long pauses defined as over one second, and users can restore individual cuts if needed.
- The voiceover tool generates narration from a submitted script with seven voice options that testers found mostly natural.
- Image tools now include background removal, prompt-based edits, and a photo-to-video option for quick visual enhancements.
- A ZDNET hands-on found the tools can significantly shorten and polish videos yet leave occasional artifacts, and Google has posted YouTube tutorials to help users get started.
