Google Photos has introduced a new feature for Android users—video creation templates. These templates, available in the Highlight Video section, come pre-made with music, text, and beat-matching. This update offers both automation and manual options for users looking to compile video clips from their camera rolls.
Template Features and Functionality
The video templates are designed to simplify the creation of highlight videos, allowing users to choose from pre-set templates. Through the 'Help me select' option, Google Photos can automatically select the best shots, or users can opt for manual selection by searching through their images by names, dates, or locations.
- The new template feature is available as a Highlight Video option.
- Users can automate photo selection or manually choose images.
- Editing options include changing music, clipping reordering, and segment removal.
Enhanced User Experience
This update builds upon existing Google Photos features, such as the image-to-video tool for creating short, high-quality clips. The change mirrors capabilities found in YouTube Shorts, such as using templates and remixing trending sounds.
The rollout is underway and is expected to be fully available to Android users soon. This development continues Google's trend of enhancing user-friendly multimedia creation tools.
