5 new video editing tools in Google Photos
- Templates are now rolling out on Android. They give you pre-set formats with built-in music, text, and cuts synced to a soundtrack. Head to the Create tab and select “highlight video” to get started. You will see your chosen photos and videos, automatically converted into a shareable video that matches the beat.
- The new video editor on Android and iOS lets you fine-tune your highlight videos and get creative right away. It features a universal timeline that supports multi-clip editing and storytelling, along with an adaptive canvas for easier editing.
- Now you can easily browse Photos’ music library and pick the perfect soundtrack to add some emotion or bring out the right vibe to your highlight video on Android and iOS.
- Add content or a creative touch with stylish text overlays to your highlight videos on Android. You can add and customise text with new fonts, colors, and backgrounds.
- The redesigned editor is also now the default video editor on Android. Just open a video from your gallery and tap edit to get started. With the new editor, you can now add music and text to a single video clip for an even more custom look.
These updates are either already available or rolling out now. The features’ availability may vary by device.
