Last August, Google introduced a new video editing experience in Photos for iOS. Google Photos on Android will soon see that revamped video editor with more advanced tools and granular customization.
Update 3/29: Following the February announcement, Google made this new video editor available to some Android users, but the feature was pulled in recent weeks for those that initially had it. It’s now more widely rolling out with version 5.35 today, though it has yet to reach all users.
Original 2/11: Editing inside Google Photos for Android was previously limited to trimming, stabilizing, rotating, muting sound, and exporting still frames. The bulk of those actions now make up the “Video” tab in a UI that’s identical to the image editor.
Next is “Crop” to manually change the aspect ratio of your clip (either manually or through presets), rotate, and change perspective. The “Adjust” tab lets you control: Brightness, Contrast, White point, Highlights, Shadows, Black point, and Saturation.
