Ever had a great video idea that you never got around because there was so much work to do? Vimeo, the video editing and sharing platform, is trying to solve that problem with the use of artificial intelligence.
On Tuesday, Vimeo announced that it is adding an AI toolkit to its platform that will automate a lot of video editing process. Features include an AI script generator, a remote prompt, and even a text-based video editor.

“AI in video opens a new frontier of accessibility. Now any individual or business has the ability to produce engaging, professional content with no prior production experience required. and in minutes,” said Ashraf Alkarmi, product manager of Vimeo.
Script Builder does what its name suggests — generates a complete video script from user input, including tone and duration.
TikTok recently added a AI Script Generator to its own platform. However, TikTok’s integration is aimed at helping businesses produce ads, while Vimeo’s integration is for any consumer.
To facilitate video recording with the generated script, Vimeo is adding a remote prompt feature that will bring the built-in script display to the platform. Like a real TV studio, the speed and font size of the typewriter can be personalized.

Finally, the most time-consuming part of creating a video is often post-editing. With the goal of helping users save time, as well as simplify the editing process for beginners, Vimeo will now have a text-based video editor.
This feature will allow users to automatically trim padding words, long pauses, and other unwanted paragraphs with the click of a button, eliminating the need for manual input and editing of every little thing.
These features will be available starting July 17 and will be part of Vimeo’s Standard plan, the second tier of the company’s paid plans.
