'Help me create' in Google Vids now includes support for Google Slides
What’s changing
Earlier this year, we added updates to the AI voiceover features within Help me create in Google Vids. Starting today, you’re now able to include Google Slides presentations as reference materials when constructing your prompts using Help me create and will receive improved Slides analysis and content incorporation into video drafts.Gemini will generate a video draft by pulling text and visual content from your slides. This includes incorporating relevant Slides, images, and text in drafts, in addition to suggested scripts, AI voiceovers, music, and more.
