Google Photos for iOS Gets Redesigned Video Editor

[MacRumors]

Google is rolling out a redesigned video editor on iOS devices, providing an updated design that is "faster and easier to use." There's a universal timeline with support for multi-clip editing and storytelling, plus an adaptive canvas that makes editing simpler.

Tools that you need to edit photos and videos are easier to access, and Google says "everything you need is right where you expect it to be."

When creating videos, users can browse the Photos music library and quickly add a soundtrack to a highlight video.

There are also several features that are available on Android devices that could expand to iOS devices in the future. Android users have access to templates with pre-set formats that include built-in music, text, and cuts that are synced to a soundtrack, along with the option to add custom text overlays.

Google says that the new features will be available to users starting today.

Does the iOS app still demand access to all media, promptly upload everything to the cloud, and then ask for a storage fee?

Yes. It does. It won't work unless you give it access to all photos.

The last remaining subscription for unlimited Google Photos storage is dead

Unlimited Google Photos storage was the biggest selling point of what quickly became the most popular photo storage service, but...

How about an image flipping function? Too advanced for Gooogle?

I guess Google needs more data for their Gemini AI model training.

Good to know about the changes. Don't use Google photos much. But will check out the new version.

It's going to be interesting to see how much AI service they stick in this over time, and where the data goes, because it won't be part of Apple's AI sandbox.
