Google Photos may introduce a new feature for Android users, allowing them to turn videos into "Cinematic Moments" using content on their devices. This potential feature comes as Cinematic Photos gain popularity, transforming images into three-dimensional visuals. The Cinematic Moment feature is expected to do the same for video content.
Reports from leaker Assemble Debug and Android Authority suggest a new video editing tool in the works within Google Photos, version 6.84.0.634885033 for Android. This tool would automatically select portions of videos and add a slow-motion effect to create a Cinematic Moment. Unlike Cinematic Photos, this new feature might not initially allow user input for creating these moments, though manual options could be added later.
No specific details on how this feature will work or when it will be released were provided. It's important to remember that features found during app disassemblies are usually experimental and may not be included in wider Android Google Photos releases.
This development is part of Google's effort to expand AI editing tools, such as those found on Pixel 8 series phones, to earlier Pixel models. It's possible that tools like Magic Editor could soon be available on Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 devices as well.
