What’s changing Following our recent announcement of balance sound in Google Vids, we’re excited to introduce an additional editing feature that effortlessly refines your videos and audio. We know it's common for people to record themselves and later discover distracting pauses, and “uhms” and “uhs.” Or, after recording, you could decide you want to cut out an entire sentence to shorten a clip. Instead of having to record the entire clip over, Gemini in Vids can now generate a transcript of your recording, and then identify and trim filler words and awkward pauses out of the transcript with one click to help you sound your best and eliminate tedious editing tasks. Who’s impacted End users Why you’d use it With transcript-based trimming, users can remove filler words, pauses, and unnecessary sections with a single click, producing a polished final video in no time. Additional details This feature is only available in English. Getting started Admins: Vids will be ON by default and can be disabled at the organizational level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Vids on or off for users. End users: To get started, go to vids.google.com in your web browser to create a new vid. Add a video or audio clip that contains speech in English. Or, record yourself using Insert > Recording, or the Record button in the righthand rail. Click on the video clip or audio track, and click the transcript editing icon and a side panel will open on the right. If the transcript is not ready, you will see a “Generating transcript…” message. Once ready, the transcript will be shown in the side panel. Filler words will be underlined and shown in red, like “uh.” Silences are denoted in parentheses with ellipses and their duration, like “(...3s).” Click on a word or silence and select “Remove.” When you play back your media, that word will be removed.
