Google Photos rolls out video editing features with templates, music, and custom text 

Android users can now use Google Photos in order to create highlight videos with perfectly-synced music and media, meaning users can create social media-ready reels without relying on a separate editing app.

While Google Photos was previously seen as a photo and video storage app, the new features make it easier for content creators to turn their videos into polished Reels, highlight videos, and vlogs, without a third-party tool.

In addition to this, new video templates give Android users the ability to choose pre-set formats with built-in music, custom text, and cuts that are synced already, so they can simply pick which photos and videos they want to include.

Users can access Google Photos’ music library and pick a suitable soundtrack for their highlight video on Android.

Google noted in a blog post that users can also add custom text to their videos, apart from using the redesigned editor to make quick and easy edits to individual video clips.
