Google Photos Rolls Out New Video Editor; Other Premium Features
Feb. 12, 2021After perking up its photo editor with advanced tools last year, Google Photos is nowrolling out a new feature-rich video editorto users. The new video editing tools will enable you to make granular adjustments to your mobile videos on the fly. These are currently live for iOS users and well, Android users will have to wait a few weeks.
The existing Google Photos video editor is pretty bare bones. It lets you trim, rotate, and stabilize the video. You can also export each frame, but that’s all. The new video editorbrings more than 30 controls to the app. It will enable you to crop the video,“change perspective, add filters, apply granular edits including brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and more.”You can see some of these in action right here:
Yeah, the company is making some Pixel-exclusive Google Photos features available to all Android users. There’s a catch though. These features, i.e Portrait Blur and Portrait Light, are locked behind a paywall. Both of these features will only be visible to Google One members.
As for what these features offer, Portrait Blur lets you add a background blur to your photos after clicking them. What’s more, you don’t need to click the original image in portrait mode. Portrait Light helps you improve lighting on people’s faces in a photo. These were first introduced with thePixel 5earlier last year.
