Google is unveiling a suite of new video editing features for Google Photos, boosting users’ capacity to craft polished highlight reels straight from their devices. The enhancements, outlined in a press release, expand on the app’s existing highlight video functionality and provide greater creative flexibility for Android and iOS users.

A notable enhancement is the launch of video templates on Android. These ready-made designs come with synchronized music, text, and pacing aligned with the soundtrack. Users can pick a template, select their clips, and Google Photos will automatically generate a shareable video.

Additionally, the company is rolling out a revamped video editor for both Android and iOS. This update offers a more responsive interface, a universal timeline for editing multiple clips, and a flexible canvas for easier rearrangement and refinement of scenes. The goal, as highlighted in the press release, is to streamline the process so creators can spend less time navigating through menus and more time on video production.

Other features include the ability to incorporate soundtracks from Google’s embedded music library and personalized text overlays on Android with new fonts, colors, and background choices for improved storytelling. Android users will also enjoy enhanced single-clip editing, as the updated editor is now the standard tool for quick tweaks or for adding music and text to individual videos.

Google confirms that all features are either currently available or will be launched shortly.
