Google is introducing a major update to its Photos app, making it even easier to edit videos on the go with AI.
After the latest update, Android users opening the Google Photos video editor will be greeted by an upgraded user interface that brings essential tools to the forefront for easy access, including:
- An updated Trim tool gives users more control over how they cut their footage.
- An Auto-Enhance button enhances colors and video stability in just one tap.
- A Speed tool can amp up or slow down the pace of a video.
The most significant update brings AI functionality to the app, with presets on Android and iOS that are capable of automatically adjusting video settings.
With the help of AI, users can find the optimal way to tweak a video.
Trimming, lighting, and speed can be adjusted with little effort, while special effects such as dynamic motion tracking can be applied with a few taps.
The best and most popular video editing apps are constantly reinventing and adding new features to keep up with the latest technologies.
With the integration of AI, Google is positioning its apps and devices to compete with Apple.
Getting Ahead of the Competition
The new effort from Google comes shortly after Apple announced the capabilities of its upcoming AI, Apple Intelligence.
In a new campaign released just last week, actress Bella Ramsey demonstrated Apple Intelligence's ability to create custom memory movies in just a few moments using a short text prompt.
As tech companies continue to innovate and push new features, we're expected to see more AI features being introduced in a variety of apps and gadgets in the near future.
Recently, OpenAI released a preview of its latest reasoning model that can solve more complex STEM problems.
