Google Vids is an AI-powered video creation tool (part of google Workspace) that lets you:

· Create videos using text prompts

· Add AI avatars/narrators

· Generate scripts, voiceovers, and visuals automatically

👉 Think of it as Google Docs + AI video editor combined

🧠 How Prompts Control Avatars

Prompts tell the AI:

· What the avatar should say

· How it should sound (tone/emotion)

· What kind of style or scene to use

👉 The better your prompt → the more natural your avatar looks and sounds

🪜 Step-by-Step: Direct Avatars Using Prompts

✅ Step 1: Open google Vids

· Go to Google Workspace → google Vids

· Click “Create New Video”

✍️ Step 2: Generate a Script with Prompt

· Choose “Help me create” (AI option)

· Enter a prompt like:

👉 Example:

“Create a 60-second product intro for a smartphone. Friendly tone, simple language.”

👉 This generates:

· Script

· Scene structure

· Voice direction

🧍 Step 3: Add an AI Avatar

· Select “Insert → Avatar”

· Choose:

· Presenter style (formal, casual, etc.)

· Appearance (if options available)

🗣️ Step 4: Customize avatar Speech with Prompts

Now refine how the avatar talks 👇

Example prompt:

“Speak in an enthusiastic tone, slightly fast pace, emphadata-size key features like battery and camera.”

You can control:

· Tone → friendly, serious, energetic

· Pace → slow, fast

· Emotion → excited, calm, persuasive

🎭 Step 5: Adjust Scenes with Prompt Edits

· Each scene can be edited with prompts

👉 Example:

“Add a modern office background and make the avatar gesture while explaining.”

🔊 Step 6: Fine-Tune Voice & Delivery

· Choose voice type (if available)

· Edit script lines directly for better delivery

👉 Pro tip:

· Use short sentences for natural speech

· Add pauses like:

“Welcome to our product… today we’ll explore…”

🎥 Step 7: Preview & Regenerate

· Click Preview

· If not satisfied:

· tweak prompt

· regenerate scene or voice

👉 Iteration is key!

💡 Best Prompt Examples

🎯 For marketing video:

“Confident and persuasive tone, highlight benefits, end with a strong call to action.”

📚 For educational content:

“Explain clearly in a calm and simple tone, like teaching a beginner.”

😂 For casual/social media:

“Fun, energetic tone with light humor and expressive delivery.”

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

· ❌ Vague prompts (“make it good”)

· ❌ Very long paragraphs (hard for avatar delivery)

· ❌ No tone instructions

👉 Always specify:
✔️ tone
✔️ audience
✔️ purpose

🧩 Final Takeaway

Using prompts in Google Vids is like directing a virtual actor:

👉 You don’t control manually—you describe what you want
👉 The AI turns your words into voice, emotion, and visuals

🔥 Bottom Line

If you learn to write clear, detailed prompts, you can:

· Create professional videos in minutes

· Control avatars like a director

· Save hours of editing work
