FULL STORY
======================================================================

Its no secret that Google Photos is getting a few upgrades for video content 
- at the start of August 2024, we reported on a number of updates set to hit 
the popular photo cloud storage app. 

Code hidden within the update suggested that editing videos is set to become 
a lot easier, and included an improved UI and a speed increase/decrease 
option. 

Now, thanks to a teardown by Android Authority , we have an even better idea 
what to expect from Google Photos enhanced video editor. Video editing in 
Google Photos 

Although not technically a video editing app , the ability to trim video 
content in Google Photos isnt new - but its fair to say its pretty basic in 
design and functionality. According to the teardown of version 6.97 of the 
Android app, users can expect a much better experience, with more useful 
tools. 

Originally known as Spotlights, the new editing tools have been renamed to 
Presets, with four key functions available. 

 Basic cut lets uses trim highlights of a video and enhance color 

 Slow Mo adds slow motion to parts of a video. 

 Track will track and zoom in on video subjects. 

 Zoom will increase or decrease magnification of an area. 

These options are to be found when selecting a video and tapping Edit. From 
here, users will need to scroll across to the Preset option - unavailable in 
the current version of the app. Using the new tools, Android Authority 
explained that effects and duration is controlled via a simple slider. 

So, we wont be expecting anywhere near the levels of control found in the 
best video editing software weve reviewed - this isnt a CapCut alternative, 
much less a replacement for Premiere Pro. But it could prove to be some of 
the best video editing software for beginners and content creators who need 
to cut clips fast. We just hope Google serves up a release date soon. Read
