Vimeo introduces AI features for video editing and scripting.

Vimeo, a leading video platform for professionals and businesses, has announced the launch of three new AI-powered features. These features are designed to make video creation significantly easier and faster.

Introducing Vimeo’s Smart Scripts, Smart Prompts, and Smart Cuts

Vimeo’s three new AI tools consist of an AI script generator, a built-in teleprompter, and a text-based video editing tool. The AI script generator creates video scripts based on the user’s input. It uses a natural language processing (NLP) model trained on millions of videos to produce engaging and coherent scripts that match the user’s tone and voice. Additionally, it can also convert text to speech and speech to text, making it easy to add narration or subtitles to videos.

The teleprompter allows users to maintain their focus on the screen and speak like a professional without having to worry about what to say next. The text-based video editing tool can trim, crop, splice, and rearrange clips in seconds, removing the need for hours of manual work. Used together, these three new tools may eliminate the need for multiple video takes when creating videos.

Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud believes that the new AI features are part of Vimeo’s vision to empower anyone to create professional-quality videos with minimal effort and resources. “We believe that video is the most powerful form of communication, and we want to make it accessible and affordable for everyone,” Sud said in a press release.

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Although Vimeo is not the only video platform using AI to simplify video creation, it stands out because of its focus on professional and business users. Other competitors such as Capsule, Descript, Dumme, Adobe, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram have also introduced various AI tools and features to help users create and edit videos. Vimeo currently has over 200 million users worldwide and hosts over 1.5 billion videos. After suffering an initial setback in 2023, Vimeo hopes to attract more users and increase its market share with its new AI features.
