Google has officially brought the Movie Editor to ChromeOS. Now all Chromebooks and other devices running on ChromeOS can use it to create and edit videos, add audio tracks, and apply filters and effects. This is currently limited to ChromeOS devices and may not be available to all users.
Google added movie editor tools to #Photos on #ChromeOS.
The editor suggests themes for movies, or users can start from scratch by searching for clips and photos. Photos and music can also be added to the editor for fun 📩https://t.co/vQjNBpvr14#Chromebook #Google #AI pic.twitter.com/PknAoaqWi1— AndroidGreek (@AndroidGreek) April 28, 2023
Google offers this free and doesn’t require an additional subscription or payment to use this functionality. It doesn’t provide powerful features that professional editors use, like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, but it does the job for essential purposes. This is based on the Google Photos-based Movie Editor, which brings a variety of themes and styles, including customization features like adding music, filters, and text that users can use.
Google Photos Video Editing Tool for ChromeOS
Users can use MAI to auto-generate videos from scratch with different levels of customization, like themes, music, or text overlays, or they can manually use it to create. This is good, especially for those users who need to become more familiar with video editing software. Google first announced this feature last year in July.
It will help students, who mostly use the Chromebook, to educate themselves about video editing with a fun and entertaining video-creating tool with a lot of effort. It’s equivalent to iMovie. This has two options for creating videos with the New Creation and Creation button on the ChromeOS Google Photos Video Editor, alongside options like Motive, Animation, and Collages.
