Google Photos gets a new video editor



[ad_1]

After launching its new photo editor on Android last year, Google Photos is now launching a new video editor with more editing features.

Last year’s release of a new photo editor on Google Photos for Android brought granular tweaks and smart suggestions to help you easily enhance your photos. Now, Google Photos is introducing even more photo editing features to the app, and a new video editor to help you do so much more with your videos.

In addition to allowing you to crop, stabilize or rotate your videos, the new video editor also allows you to crop, change the perspective of the video, add filters, apply granular edits (brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth) and much more. The new video editor includes more than 30 controls that you can use.

The new video editor features are now available in Google Photos on iOS and should roll out for most Android users in the coming weeks. In the coming months, Google Photos will make the redesigned editor available on iOS devices as well.

In addition to the above, Google Photos is adding some of the photo editing features that were only available on the Pixel to Google One members until now.

Effects like Portrait Blur or Portrait Light use machine learning to automate photo editing and work with new or old photos, even if the originals were not taken in portrait mode. You will still be able to use Blur and Color Pop on photos that have depth information (i.e. photos captured in portrait mode), even if you use a free account.

If you are a member of Google One, you can apply these effects to more photos, including those without depth information, that is, scans of old films or shots taken by professionals. As a member of Google One, you will also have access to other powerful effects that also work with machine learning.

This will allow you to easily apply complex edits with a single tap, such as using dynamic suggestion to “Enhance image brightness and contrast where needed, for a more balanced and spectacular photo.” With Sky Suggestions, you can make images stand out by making automatic adjustments.

The Portrait Blur, Portrait Light, and Dynamic & Sky tips will start rolling out for Google One members over the next week on Android. Please note that you will need to have at least 3GB of RAM and Android 8.0 and above to use these features.
