Google is rolling out significant updates to its Photos app, introducing new video editing tools and AI-powered presets for both Android and iOS users. These updates are designed to simplify the editing process and help users quickly enhance their videos with just a few taps.
New Tools for Android Users
One of the major updates for Android users includes the new āSpeedā tool. This feature allows users to create slow-motion or sped-up videos, giving them more control over the pacing of their clips. Whether you want to slow down an action shot or speed up a scenic view, this tool makes it easy to adjust video speed.
Google has also added an āAuto enhanceā button, which automatically improves video quality by adjusting color and stability. With just one tap, the video looks better without needing to manually tweak each setting. The trimming tool has been updated to allow for more precise cuts, making it easier for users to trim videos exactly where they want.

In addition, Google has rearranged the tools located beneath the video timeline. Now, commonly used features like mute, enhance, stabilize, and export frame are easier to access, saving users time when editing.
AI-Powered Presets for Android and iOS
Google is also introducing AI-powered video presets for both Android and iOS. These presets allow users to apply specific adjustments automatically, making editing quicker and more intuitive. For instance, with a single tap, users can have the app trim the video, adjust the lighting, or control the speed of the video.
The AI presets can also add effects like slow-motion, zoom, and dynamic motion tracking. This means the video can automatically follow a subject, keeping them in focus even as they move. These presets are found in a new āPresetsā tab located below the video timeline, separate from the standard editing tools.
Rolling Out Gradually
Google says the updates are starting to roll out today. However, it may take some time before they are available on all devices. Once fully released, these features will make video editing more accessible and efficient for both Android and iOS users, enabling them to create high-quality clips with minimal effort.
