Google Photos is rolling out a redesigned video editor with Material 3 Expressive elements on iOS and Android. The new-look editor supports both multi-clip editing and individual video editing, complete with a universal timeline. There’s a carousel that features eight tools with more granular editing options only a tap away. The upgraded Google Photos editor is widely available on Android following a server-side push.
The fresh video editing interface includes a main video preview that takes up most of the screen, whereas the video timeline and editing toolbar are smaller. Above the video preview, Google Photos users will find an X button that exits the video editor without saving changes. On the opposite side, there’s a Save button to save the clip with your changes. Users will see a Material 3 Expressive squiggly progress bar while the video is being saved.
