Google Photos AM AH

For a while now, Google has been ramping up the editing options in its Photos app. The company has added multiple new features, including some powered by artificial intelligence. Now, the company has updated Google Photos’ video editor to offer more possibilities. There are even new AI-powered presets that will let you do wonders in just a few taps.

Google Photos is one of the most popular services out there, so getting new features is good news for millions of people. While the photo editor has become more and more complete, the video editor seemed to be lagging a bit behind. It appears that the company was aware of this, so it now has new editing options exclusively for videos.

First, the cropping tool has become more precise. This means that you will struggle less when trying to crop your videos at an exact point. Sometimes it could happen that the cropping bar went a little further than you were looking for. Well, everything should work much better after the update. Google has also shipped an “Auto Enhance” button for videos that, as the name suggests, automatically applies enhancements to the file with a tap. The app’s image editor already offered a similar option.

The updated Google Photos’ video editor also includes a new “Speed” tool to freely modify the pace of your videos. The feature will allow you to convert videos or sections of videos to slow motion, or on the contrary, increase the speed.

In addition to these “traditional” editing tools, Google Photos is getting AI-powered presets for videos. “These presets can automatically trim the video, adjust lighting, control speed, or apply effects like dynamic motion tracking of main subject, zooming in the main action, or applying slow-mo,” Google says in its blog post.

Google is already rolling out the new features

The new video editing options are available only on Android phones. On the other hand, the AI-powered presets for videos are arriving on Android and iOS devices alike. Lastly, Google says that they are “starting to roll out” the updated Photos’ video editor, so it shouldn’t take long for it to appear on your phone.
