Frequent contributor to the AI conversation at Duke, Joseph Sorrenson, messaged me on Teams about 10 minutes ago about Google Vids – which consumed a lion’s share of his evening last night. Within literally 5 minutes after speaking with him, I produced a video.
Not usable in its current form by any means, but it did what I’ve been using multiple tools to do – create an outline, script and voice over simply by dragging a a user guide into the interface. It short circuited a ton of work and gave me a workable frame work to create my video.
I made a PDF of our knowledge base article and had to upload it to Google Drive for the application to ingest the content. What you see below is the complete prompt I gave.
It created an outline in just a couple of minutes:
It is pretty limited in your selection of voice over voices, but it seems to be free? Or at least it didn’t ask me for any money yet.
It created the video and put it on what seems to be a relatively easy to use timeline to edit. I noticed that it also included music from Shutterstock (at no cost?) The script seemed easily editable as well.
You can even edit the slides in the video. Way to leverage their technology.
Here’s the output. Clearly, the video footage would have to be reshot and insert actual video from the studio, but wow, what a head start!
It took be 3 times longer to write this article than it did to create this video. Please check it out and post your thoughts.
