Vids by Google: A New Kind of Creativity in the Cloud

Google’s best products create a sense of connection, and Vids embodies that fully. Google Drive serves as your media library, Docs becomes your script, and Slides offers a storyboard layout. AI suggestions streamline the process, while Meet integration allows team discussions directly in the editor, using familiar sharing permissions. You can prompt Vids to draft videos, create narrative structures, suggest camera angles, auto-trim silence, align visuals to voiceovers, generate stock scenes, and even rewrite narration. It feels humble, providing a foundation for your creativity. For individuals dealing with anxiety or cognitive load, Vids simplifies video creation, eliminating complexity. For teams, it provides a collaborative space that welcomes contributions from all editing experiences. For creators, it’s a fast way to prototype and produce polished videos.

Ubuntu in VMware workstation 17

Download the Ubuntu iso here for installation in

VMware workstation 17.0 for a cheap price

If using an earlier version than 22.04 LTS, you'll need to manually update the snap store

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

sudo snap refresh


It is easy to install Ubuntu on VMware workstation 17. I find that on VirtualBox the 'sudo' commands don't work and you may run into the error 'user is not found in the sudoers list'



Simply start VMware workstation machine wizard and use a typical configuration



Browse to the Ubuntu iso file and click next



Here you will create a username and password. You will need this to log in and use Sudo commands in the terminal



Enter a location for Ubuntu virtual machine




I have Ubuntu installed on one of my external drives and have the storage size at 500 gigabytes



If you have a lot of ram you can use 16gb of ram for the VM so you can get the most use of your systems GPU 



Tap on done and start the virtual machine 



It's pretty straightforward. Set it up like any typical os. Install 3rd party drivers if you want
