Some Google Drive users get a new way to change their videos without the need to download them to another program first.

Google announced the news on Friday in an update of the workspace. The company claims that it now deploys Google Vids – the video editor fueled by the company’s AI – integration directly into Google Drive for eligible and AI work customers. If you have a compatible subscription, you will now see a “Open” button when you display videos in your reader on desktop. Click on this and Google Drive will launch the clip in Google Vids.

VIDS gives you a basic video editor with AI integration. There are a number of things that you expect to see by an editor, such as cutting, titles, music and animations, but you can also use a generative AI so that videos create different elements for you. It is a simple but useful supplement to the workflow Google Drive, especially for all those who work regularly with video clips. I cannot imagine that it would really replace a video editor dedicated to all those who need it, but if you need to cut and regularly adjust the drive clips, it could save you time and headache.

There are some restrictions on this functionality. As with all Vids projects, video clips cannot exceed 35 minutes or 4 GB in size. In addition, these are the specific types of files with which you can work:

Who has access to videos in Google Drive

If you subscribe to one of Google’s plans (AI Pro and AI Ultra), you now have access to videos in Google Drive. Otherwise, the workplace plan of your organization can cover it, if you belong to one of the following elements:

• Business starter, standard and more

• Starter, standard and PLU company

• Enterprise Essentials and Enterprise Essentials Plus

• Non -profit

• Fundamentals of education, standard and more

• Gemini business

• Gemini

Google says that if Google Docs is disabled for your workspace account, videos will also not be available. The IT department of your organization can also deactivate the access of video independently. This could explain why you do not see the “Open” button when displaying clips in the reader.
