Google Vids: Generate images and add text overlays

Demo summary
The user generates an image using Nano Banana, drags it onto the canvas, and demonstrates adding and styling text similar to Google Slides.
Step-by-step
- Open the image generation tool and select a template or reuse a prompt
- Choose the aspect ratio: 16:9, square, or portrait
- Run the generation to create the image via Nano Banana
- Drag and drop the generated image onto the canvas
- Resize the image to fit the canvas
- Select a text style from the text menu and click to add it to the canvas
- Double-click the text to edit the content
- Change the font color using the formatting options at the top
Options
- Reuse an existing prompt from a template image
- Add pre-styled text or normal text
Tips
- Use the built-in generation tool to create resources directly on the timeline rather than switching to external tools like Google Vids or Gemini for more control
