Google Photos adds a new AI ‘Video Remix’ tool
The feature can do things like apply cinematic relighting to brighten up a dark clip, swap out a plain background for something fun, or add artistic styles to videos.
Get smart on it
Google Photos is introducing a new AI-powered "Video Remix" feature that can edit and transform videos in seconds using technology from the company's recently released generative AI model. The tool allows users to apply effects like cinematic relighting, background replacement, and artistic styles such as watercolor and oil painting directly within the Photos app's "Create" tab, without needing professional editing skills or dedicated software. This launch reflects Google's broader effort to integrate generative AI tools into its consumer applications to compete with other major tech companies and keep users within its ecosystem. The feature is rolling out to certain subscription tiers in multiple countries and represents the latest in a series of AI-powered updates to Google Photos.
