TL;DR
- We’ve seen evidence that Google Photos is getting new templates for highlight videos.
- The templates include pre-selected captions and music.
- Templates aren’t available yet, but could roll out soon.
Google Photos is picking up some new tricks to make it easier to create more expressive highlight videos. The app can already splice together clips around a certain theme to make short-form videos about your own life, and now, we’ve found evidence that that capability is expanding.
Experimenting with version 7.50 of the Google Photos app on Android, we managed to enable an updated version of the highlight video editor. This new iteration comes with a bunch of new templates that include pre-selected music, as well as the option to add custom text overlays.
