Not too long ago, we got the news that Google Photos was making its way over to ChromeOS. This will replace the native photo editor that comes loaded with the software. Along with the photo editor, Chromebooks are getting the Photos video editor.
Chromebooks are getting a new video editor
There are two very different ways to use this video editor. The first way is for absolute beginners, and it’s the most “Google” thing ever. All you have to do is select which pictures, music, and video clips you want to use. After that, the software will handle the rest of the work. It will edit and generate the movie for you. If that’s not something you’d want, don’t worry. There’s also a mode that will let you create the video from the ground up. You’ll have access to the content in your Google Photos, and you can also add filters like the RealTone filters. If you feel like your video needs is, you can also add music and title cards. You’ll be able to seamlessly access your content that’s saved on Google Photos. Not only that, but you’ll be able to jump to the editor right from your Files app.
