Google makes it easier to edit Drive videos with a new Vids shortcut button
Google announced Friday that it’s enhancing the editing experience for Drive videos with a new shortcut button for Vids. The new feature allows Workspace users to initiate a video edit using Vids directly from the Google Drive interface. Vids aims to streamline video production, including the ability to generate videos from basic text prompts.
The new feature allows Workspace users to initiate a video edit using Vids directly from the Google Drive interface. Now, while previewing a video in Drive, users will see an “Open” button in the top right corner that opens the video in the Vids app. Vids will automatically launch the video file, allowing further edits such as trimming the clip or incorporating music and text.

This new shortcut, which is activated by default, suggests that the company is integrating the app more closely with Google’s Workspace suite. Launched last year, Vids aims to streamline video production, including the ability to generate videos from basic text prompts, automatically craft scripts, rearrange video clips, add transitions, and more.
This comes on the heels of the company introducing another Gemini AI feature for Workspace users in May, which allows them to use AI to summarize video files stored in Google Drive.
