Google Photos for Android users are starting to have the new video editor that users of this iOS application have been using for some time now. The new video editor makes video editing easier by relying on the concept of timelines instead of the old carousel concept of elements.
With this, users will be able to have multiple sources or channels, whose position can be altered at any time according to the order of appearance in the assembly, on the same screen, with the different elements (videos and images) that they want to add in their assembly. In addition, the new editor also allows you to insert your own or provided music tracks into the same application.
However, those users who can already access the new video editor will leave behind some capabilities, such as visual filters, but in return they will gain advanced functions that will help them in their montages, available in the pop-up menus, as well as having a new interface that always puts the most basic controls at their fingertips for faster assembly.
By the way, the new interface leaves the dark background when using a theme based on the white background, just like many Google applications.
Furthermore, it does not have, perhaps, for the time being, a tool that allows texts and other elements to be inserted into the assemblies. In any case, as some users point out, this is a progressive deployment.
In this respect, the lucky ones will receive a notification inviting them to upgrade to the new editor, indicating that the themes are no longer available and will, therefore, lose the effects they had applied to their montages.
Hopefully, Google may be able to add some missing capabilities at any time, but the new video editor is far superior to the old one in that it has an additional interface and features that make it easier to edit videos on mobile device screens.
