Previously, users could create these videos but had to manually select the content. The new feature is a middle ground between this and waiting for automatic generation. The feature will be rolled out gradually, and it is not yet known whether it will be available on the web, which OS versions will support it, or what other tags might work for it.
Key takeaways:
- Google is rolling out an update to Google Photos that will allow users to set parameters for the videos the app generates, rather than waiting for them to be created automatically.
- The new feature will allow users to search for specific content, such as people, places, or activities, and the app will then create a video using relevant photos.
- Once the video is created, users will be able to trim clips, rearrange them, or change the music.
- The new feature will be rolled out gradually, and it's not yet clear whether it will be available on the web or on certain operating systems.
