You’ve heard about Google Vids. Now it’s time to give it a try.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to generate and edit a good video in Google Vids. It’s light, powerful, and only takes seconds to get started.

Google Vids worked really well for me in this demonstration: it was light, quick, and agile. Something to note, however, is that I tested it here on a MacBook Pro with a LAN internet connection.

How will Google Vids perform on a student Chromebook over wifi? We’ll have to wait and see.
