Google has introduced new features to its video editor app, Vids, including the ability to customize and direct avatars through text prompts. This update allows users to use natural language prompts to guide avatars in acting out scenes, interacting with various elements like products or props. Despite the dynamic nature of the output, Vids ensures character consistency.

Users can now customize avatars by adjusting appearance, changing clothing, and creating new backgrounds based on the video’s theme. Additionally, Google has integrated the Veo 3.1 video-generation model, enabling the creation of eight-second clips within the editing tool. To streamline the sharing process, Google now permits direct export of finished videos to YouTube, with videos set to private by default for pre-publication review.

Furthermore, a new Chrome extension for screen recording has been added to the Vids suite, enabling users to capture screen content with audio or video. These updates follow Google’s previous enhancements to cater to enterprise content creation, expanding features such as AI avatars, 2D and 3D cartoon-style avatars, and support for additional voice-over languages.
