Google Photos is getting a redesigned video editor

Features coming to Android devices include a new “Speed” tool for creating slo-mo or sped-up videos, a new “Auto enhance” button that improves color and stability, and an updated trimming tool for making more precise cuts to footage. The tools located immediately below the video timeline are also being rearranged to make it easier for users to find commonly used features like mute, enhance, stabilize, and export frame.

Here’s what the new tool and presets layout looks like for Google Photos on Android.

New AI-powered video presets are coming to both Android and iOS that can make specific adjustments with a single tap, such as automatically trimming video, controlling speed, and adjusting lighting. These presets can also apply effects like adding slow-mo, zoom, and dynamic motion tracking to a particular subject within the video. The new AI-powered features are contained in their own “presets” tab beneath the video timeline, separate to the standard editing tools.

The new video presets should make it easier to create quick edits without messing with manual editing tools.

Google says these updates are “starting to roll out” today, so it may take a while before they appear on all devices.
