Google last month announced that it was working on adding a new video editor to Google Photos. At the time, the company detailed almost all of its features and revealed that it would offer more than 30 advanced controls to help users edit their videos within the app. While Google didn’t share an exact release schedule for the new video editor at the time, the editor has started appearing for some users.
The feature was first spotted by Twitter user Andrew C (@AndrewClarkin57), and as you can see in the attached video, the new video editor appears to have all the features that Google unveiled last month. The new video editor in Google Photos will feature a ton of new tools. These include tools that help you crop videos, change perspective, stabilize video, and apply various filters. It also includes a bunch of adjustment settings that will let you tweak the brightness, contrast, saturation, and warmth of videos.
To use the new video editor, all you need to do is tap the Edit button. This will bring up the new editing UI if you’ve already received the update. The new editing UI includes a few tabs to help you trim, adjust , and add filters to your video. It has an additional tab labeled “More,” which includes a markup tool.
The Crop tab includes various aspect ratio presets to help you crop your video, along with a “Free” option for a custom crop. It also has two additional buttons that will allow you to rotate the video and change perspective, along with a Reset button to undo all changes. The Adjust tab includes tools to change brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, warmth, hue, and skin tone. Finally, the Filters tab contains a number of pre-made filters that you can apply to your video to give it a cool effect.
As previously mentioned, the new Google Photos video editor is currently only available to select users. We believe Google may release the feature via a server-side update. While we can't confirm exactly when the feature on your device, we expect to see a wider rollout in the coming days.
