Google Gemini: Video Maker (in Google Drive)

Every now and then, I see a notice of another beta AI experiment within Google, and I try to give it a whirl, to see what’s coming and think about the possibilities. The most recent addition is an AI video creation tool, built right inside Google Drive, and connected to Google Docs.

I gave it a try with a prompt about saxophones, music and poetry (see the video) — the results are not great and nothing to write home about (but worth a blog post, I guess).

Still, you can see where this is going, converting Google Docs files into shareable videos, with the AI automating the selection of art and even the use of AI voice narration.

I still prefer Lumen5 for these kinds of video.

Peace (in experimentation),
Kevin
