Emphasize the workflow based on prompts or detailed instructions. The more specific information you provide (goal, audience, context, documents linked with @, etc.), The more relevant and personalized the video proposal generated by AI will be.The process follows these steps:
- Writing the initial prompt or instruction: Simply describe the type of video you want to create and add relevant details (topic, audience, specific goals) or link Drive documents using “@,” allowing AI to extract key data from Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

- Suggestion and selection of multimedia resources: AI recommends images, video clips, music, and sound effects from stock libraries, which can be replaced or combined with the user's own files.
- Creation of the narrative script and generation of voice-oversGoogle Videos offers the ability to use AI-generated voices, with options for pitch, pace, and style, or upload a self-recorded voiceover.
- Personalization and collaborative editingEach scene can be rearranged, edited, or commented on in real time by multiple users; transitions can be added, text modified, secondary resources inserted, and any details adjusted.
- Export and publish directly within the Workspace environmentOnce completed, the video can be exported, shared, or integrated into business workflows, emails, presentations, and internal resources, all without the need for additional installations.
AI establishes Placeholders to suggest where to include custom videos, your own recordings, or other materials, facilitating collaboration between different team members and allowing you to quickly iterate on content until you achieve the ideal result.
