- There are 30 new video editing controls available.
- The new video editor is reportedly available in the latest version of the Google Photos app.
Google is finally rolling out (h / t Android police) the new and improved video editor on Google Photos for Android. The video editing suite was introduced to Google Photos for iOS back in February.
The new video editor allows you to crop, stabilize and rotate your videos just like the previous version. However, you can also use it to crop the frame, export individual frames, change perspective, and add filters, which are also available as part of the image editing tools.
In addition, you can edit your videos in detail to get brightness, contrast, saturation, skin color, shadows, hue, warmth and more.
A total of 30 new controls are available for video editing. However, you still cannot combine two clips like in Apple’s iMovie video editor. Of course, there are plenty of other video editing apps for Android out there if you want more control over what you can do. However, it is good to have more options in Google Photos for those who don’t need professional editing tools.
Google Photos’ new video editor is reportedly being rolled out as a server-side update for all Android phones, not just Pixels. You can also try getting the latest version of the app (v5.36.0.365895365) from the Play Store to force the update.
Once you get the update, open a video in Google Photos and click the “Edit” button to access the new video editor.
