In fact, the video editor will be built in to an optimized version of the Android Google Photos app specifically built for larger screens. Google isn’t saying yet if these video editing features will come to the mobile apps for iOS and Android, but Google Photos has usually had feature parity regardless of platform, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see these tools expand past Chromebooks before long.

The app will let you adjust things like brightness and contrast, trim clips as you see fit, add title cards and music and apply Google’s Real Tone filters that work better with non-white hairstyles and darker skin. While it’s no surprise that Google is including an automated tool, the company is also including the ability to start from scratch, adding video clips and photos in any order you like. It’ll be smart enough to scan longer videos and pull out specific clips to include in these new creations as well. You’ll be able to select a theme as well as people or pets you want to feature in it from there, Google Photos will pull together a movie using video clips and images from your library. From the sound of things, it’ll let users make videos similar to the highlight clips the app already automatically makes. According to a Google blog post, Google Photos will get a new movie editor and video editing features this fall as part of an update to Chrome OS. Later this year, Google Photos is going to get a significant update that has the distinction of first arriving on Chromebooks.
