Google has announced an upgrade to its video editing capabilities within the Google Photos app, aimed at streamlining the editing process and enhancing user creativity. This rollout, which begins for both Android and iOS users, introduces a variety of new tools designed to make video editing more efficient.

One of the most notable improvements is the redesigned video editor interface on Android devices, where essential editing tools are now prominently displayed for easy access. This enhancement aims to reduce the time users spend searching for features, allowing them to focus on the creative aspects of their video projects. The streamlined layout ensures that users can quickly locate and utilise the tools they need to transform their videos into shareable masterpieces.

Google has also added an updated trim tool, which offers improved controls for precise cuts. This functionality is crucial for users looking to remove unwanted footage or highlight specific moments without the hassle of complicated navigation. The trim tool is particularly useful for content creators and casual users alike, enabling them to refine their videos effortlessly.

In addition, there’s a new Auto Enhance button that simplifies the editing process even further. With just one tap, users can enhance the colours of their videos and stabilise shaky footage, providing a professional touch to amateur recordings. This feature is especially beneficial for those who may not have extensive video editing experience but want to achieve high-quality results.

For those seeking to add dynamic flair to their videos, Google has also unveiled a new Speed tool. This feature allows users to adjust the playback speed, whether they want to accelerate action-packed sequences or create dramatic slow-motion effects

AI technology plays a significant role in these updates, as Google introduces new AI-powered video presets available on both Android and iOS devices. These presets are designed to automate the editing process, making it easier for users to achieve polished results quickly. With features that can automatically trim videos, adjust lighting, control speed, and apply effects such as dynamic motion tracking or zooming in on the main action, these presets allow for a more efficient editing experience.
