Saving Time and Enhancing Quality: Exploring Vimeo's New AI-Powered Video Editing Features

Exciting news from Vimeo! The video hosting platform is rolling out a suite of generative AI features for paying users. The aim? To revolutionize the video editing process, reducing hours of work to mere minutes. 

Vimeo is shifting its focus from challenging YouTube to catering more to corporate customers. Now, they're leveraging AI to help executives save time on crafting video statements for their staff. 

The integration of OpenAI's ChatGPT API allows users to generate AI-powered scripts, customized for tone and length. These scripts can be conveniently read off a built-in teleprompter, complete with adjustable pace and font size. No more awkward pauses or stumbling over words! 

Vimeo's new automatic editing feature recognizes parts of the video transcript, seamlessly removing hesitations and stitching the clips together. Say goodbye to jumpy jump cuts! The result? Smooth and professional-looking videos. 

Starting July 17, these AI-powered features will be available to users on Vimeo's "Standard" plan and above. By offering tone presets and manual control over scrolling speed, Vimeo ensures users can fine-tune their video creation process. 

Vimeo's Chief Product Officer, Ashraf Alkarmi, emphasizes the goal of using AI to simplify customers' lives and alleviate pain points. While the focus is mainly on enterprise users, even those with limited production experience can benefit from this user-friendly AI integration. 

This move follows Vimeo's recent decision to end support for TV apps, aiming to position themselves as an all-in-one video experience platform. So, if you notice a slightly stiff corporate video, chances are it received some AI assistance from Vimeo.
