Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Tuesday, September second, twenty twenty five. This is Blue
Lightning AI Daily. I'm Zan and today's episode was made
with Microsoft Vibe Voice seven B. Let's go thank there, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good bot and we've got big Google workspace news. Google
VIDs just dropped fresh gen AI powers for creators. It's
giving make a video where you already write your.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Docs exactly if you haven't touched VIDs yet. It's Google's
collaborative video tool. Sitting next to docs and slides. You
can storyboard, script record with a teleprompter, edit share for review,
dot all in your browser.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And now the glow up image to video b roll
with VO three AI presenters AKA avatars and automatic transcript cleanup.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's the trifecta for speed.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
What changed VIDs can turn your static images and a
prompt into short, dynamic clips, perfect for quick broll. It
can also put an AI avatar on camera to read
your script in a consistent style, and it cleans ums,
stutters and long pauses in the transcript SYNCD right to
the timeline.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Who it's for making explainers, founders, pitching, creators, teaching workflows,
HR rolling out onboarding, anyone who needs clean on brand
video fast.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Why it matters, Fewer handoffs to outside editing tools, fewer
who can record today bottlenecks, and a faster path to
first cut. You're staying inside workspace, drive storage, link permissions, comments,
so approvals don't get chaotic.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay, quick vibe check on each feature. First up image
to video. This is powered by Google's vo three model.
Think you've got a product shot and no footage. Viz
animates it into a clip you can cut into your scene.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And it's aimed at those eight ish second cutaways that
usually send you down a stock mate near rabbit hole.
This just generates motion that matches the prompt and scene.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Next AI presenters, this is the consistent face and voice
on command moment. If your team does weekly updates or training,
you pick an avatar, drop your script done, no studio booking,
no my mic broke panic.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's basically synthesia vibes, but inside VIDs, right next to
your storyboard and drive assets, and it's great for brand
consistency across multiple videos and.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Transcript cleanup chef's kiss.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
It removes filler words and long pauses right from the transcript,
pain and the timeline updates it's like descripts magic, but
inside your workspace project.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
For creators, that's last mile polish without exporting audio to
another app. You get from roughread to publishable faster.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah fane availability check vis is available for Google workspased
business and enterprise customers, and the AI features depend on
your plan. There's also a consumer version rolling out that's
free with basics, but advanced AI stuff is still tied
to paid works based Gemini plans. Source tech Crunch twenty

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Immediately he can scam I and as ending Willy can two.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Differs with the Red Villain Bones, Caste de mos talk
and book space not DM.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Let's compare to alternatives. Runway and Peka are still the
champs for cinematic image to video. If you want hyperstylized
motion control, you might still go there, but if you
need good enough be roll right now inside your team workflow.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Viz is convenient, tru and for avatars there's synthesia.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Hey, Jen capcut has some options, but having it baked
into workspace is the win. Your PM can literally comment,
change this line in the same file and rerender.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
For transcript cleanup, dscript and Adobe podcast are great. Viz
just saves you a round trip, one tool one timeline.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Quality question Zain, how do these VO three clips look?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
From what we've seen? They're solid for cutaways, product pans,
simple transitions, light camera moves, think quick reel insert not
full cinematic.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like ken Burns effect with extra spice. But you're not
making Doune three with it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Got it exactly? It's built for velocity, pitch decks to
explainer clips, onboarding slides, to.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Lessons any I'm thinking brand and legal a.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Few for avatars. Get policy sign off on using synthetic presenters.
Make sure disclosure and usage rights are clear. Also keep
an eye on voice and likeness settings so you don't
accidentally ship a tone that clashes with brand guidelines and.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
The usual uncanny valley check. Pick avatars that match your
brand vibe. If you're a wellness brand, you want warm
and human, not sci fi news anchor good call.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Also, teams should standardize templates, lower thirds, fonts, color palettes,
VID supports brand assets from Drive use them so every
video ships on brand.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Pricing vibes, joys, e mita hatan full cases to every
won't dive deep, but note that AI features tie to
works based Gemini entitlements. If you're on Business Standard without
the AI add on, you may not get everything.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Rapid tips start with a dock outline, then generate storyboard
in VIDs for a fast first cut, use VO three
image to video to film missing b roll before you
hunt stock. If you can't film, pick an AI presenter
for consistency and speed, run transcript clean up at the end,
then one final pass for pacing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Love it so.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
If you're a YouTuber, try VIDs for sponsor reads and
channel updates. Teleprompter plus transcript cleanup equals crisp no filler clips,
then export vertical and square cuts for socials. Multi format
options are coming per Google's notes on that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Google's teased extras like noise cancelation, meat like backgrounds, filters
and support for portrait landscape twenty five square. Timeframes vary,
but they've signaled it's on the roadmap source phone arena
roundup and workspace updates posts big picture.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Google wants video first comms to be as normal as
writing a doc. Honestly that tracks. We've seen the same
trend in marketing. If it's not a video, it barely ships.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And creators get more leverage, less technical lift, more storytelling.
You keep attention on script, structure and brand. The AI
handles filler, footage and clean up.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Quick use case lightning, round, go for it, startup launch,
founder writes talking points in docs, Viz turns that into
a storyboard. Add vob roll of the product, AI presenter
for a thirty second teaser, transcript, cleanup done.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Hr onboarding, clone last quarter's deck into VIDs. Avatar delivers
consistent training sectgments, swap screenshots, export approvals happen in comments.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Creator course screen record with teleprompter inside VIDs, trim ums
via transcript, sprinkle a few image to video cutaways to
keep energy up.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And for agencies it's a life saver. Clients already review
docs and drive now they review videos the same way.
Fewer tool switches equals fewer delays.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Context check with the market.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We just covered runways, push on, image to video controls,
and the broader wave of AI first editors like Canva
and Adobe Express. Google's angle is workflow native, get it
done where your team already live sources.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
If you want to dig deeper, Google Workspace blogs, VIDs,
overview the official vis page, workspace updates, posts on VO
three and avatars, and tech crunches. OG twenty seven to
twenty twenty five piece on the consumer version and AI
presenters and.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
If you test it today, tag us with your first
image to video before after I want to see those
product shots glow up same.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, Time to land this. Google VIDs just made
b roll presenters and polish faster, especially for non technical teams.
If you're in marketing edge or startup land, this is
worth a spin duck.
