New Video Tool on Google

Creating a video can be intimidating for some people, including me!  But now there’s a viable solution.  Recently, Google launched a new feature called the “Search Stories Video Creator.” In 3 quick steps, users can produce a fun video that is available upon completion to upload to YouTube for sharing. All you have to do is enter 7 search terms and choose what kind of search Google will perform for each term – web search, maps, images etc. – then you pick from a set of soundtracks and that’s it! You can change your search terms and soundtrack before uploading the video to YouTube.  The whole process only takes a few minutes and the tool automatically uploads your video to YouTube when you’re ready (obviously you have to have a YouTube or Google account to be able to upload the video).  You can summarize the plot of your book, describe your writing journey, or tell a personal story.  Here’s the link.  If you try it, let me know what you think.
