Last year, Google hinted at giving Chromebooks new movie editing tools through Google Photos. The wait is finally over as these features have started rolling out to users. This exciting update brings an intuitive movie editor to Chromebooks, enabling users to create and edit movies with just a few clicks.

New Movie Editor and Video Editing Features on Google Photos

In an announcement on the Google Photos community page, the company revealed that it has started rolling out new video editing features for Google Photos on Chromebooks. With these features, users can now effortlessly use images and videos from their Chromebook and edit them directly within Google Photos.

The new movie editor provides users with two options: create a movie from scratch or choose a preset suggested theme. If users opt for the former, they have the freedom to select any media from their gallery and make adjustments to images or scenes using the built-in editor. On the other hand, if they choose a suggested theme, the feature will automatically select videos and images based on the chosen theme, but users can still swap out and edit the selections.

Google Photos’ movie editor intelligently selects the most meaningful moments from long videos, ensuring that the final movie is both engaging and memorable. Users can select the theme, people, or pets they want to include, and Google Photos will create a custom movie using both video clips and photos.

Google has designed the movie editor to be user-friendly and accessible, requiring minimal knowledge of movie-making intricacies. With just a few taps, users can create high-quality movies without the need for professional editing software. However, it is essential to note that while the tool is impressive, it may not offer the same level of functionality as more advanced video editing software. To access the new movie editor features, users need to have the Google Photos app installed on their Chromebook. The rollout is currently underway, and users can expect to see the update arriving on their devices in the coming days.
