Would you use an AI tool to create videos instead of hiring a professional?
Google has made its Vids AI video tool available to all Google and Google Workspace account holders. The update includes new scene-extension controls and the ability to export clips in 1080p HD resolution.
Why it matters
The platform is designed to lower the barrier to video production by enabling users to generate content without requiring professional editing expertise or substantial budgets.
The platform now outputs AI-generated video at 1080p resolution and incorporates an imperceptible SynthID digital watermark on every clip. It operates using the Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model for synthesis.
The players
A subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. that manages an extensive suite of cloud, search, and productivity applications.
The details
Users access the tool through a browser at vids.new to initiate clip creation. The system leverages the Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model—a high-speed multimodal AI architecture—to generate video content, while new controls allow users to define specific clip durations and extend scenes. Visual consistency during scene extension is managed by the underlying model's internal frame-prediction capabilities.

The Tech Race
This release follows a broader industry trend of integrating generative AI directly into productivity software to capture user workflows. It represents the latest deployment of the Gemini 1.1 Flash model, competing against other generative video platforms for dominance in automated content creation.
The tool is immediately accessible to all Google and Google Workspace account holders who navigate to vids.new on a desktop browser. Users can now apply 1080p HD settings and scene-extension tools to their creative workflows.
The takeaway
This platform brings high-resolution AI video generation to general accounts without needing specialized software. Users should watch for the upcoming release of the Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite update to see how the platform expands its multilingual voiceover capabilities.
What happens next
Google intends to release Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite text-to-speech, which will support voiceovers in more than 100 languages.
