Google Photos has introduced a new feature that automatically creates highlight videos of the people, places, and activities you choose from your library. The update, which is rolling out from October 25, allows users to search for specific subjects and create a one-minute highlights video. The video includes a combination of video clips and photos, with music synced to the footage. Users also have the option to trim or rearrange clips and choose different music. The feature will be available on both Android and iOS devices.
To access the feature, users can tap the “plus” icon at the top of the Google Photos app and select the “Highlight videos” option from the menu. They can then search for their video stars, such as people or places, and make further tweaks before saving the video.
Google’s main goal with its photo and video tools is to automate edits that non-professionals may not have the time or desire to do themselves. This AI-powered video creator tool is just one example of Google’s efforts in this space. The company also recently introduced a related tool in Google Photos’ Memories feature, allowing users to collaborate on creating albums with friends and family.
While Google continues to enhance its photo and video capabilities, the Google Pixel 8 Pro smartphone has also debuted cloud-based video features like Video Boost and Night Sight Video. However, it’s worth noting that these features require an internet connection, unlike some AI tools that work locally on the device.
Overall, with its new highlight video feature and other AI-powered editing tools, Google Photos is becoming an increasingly convenient and fuss-free platform for users to create and edit their videos.
