Google’s Chrome OS is useful for many tasks, and its usefulness has grown over the past decade. However, it’s not the best when you want to produce videos. Google is looking to change that, and it made its Movie Maker for Chromebooks available for everyone, according to a new announcement.
This has been a while in the making, as the company announced last year that it wanted to boost the video editing capabilities in ChromeOS. It added a bunch of useful video editing features to Google Photos in ChromeOS. These will allow the user to make interesting videos within the native app.
The Movie Maker for Chromebooks is now available to everyone
Google launched the Movie Maker for Chromebooks not too long ago, and it showed off some of its capabilities. Since this is in the Google Photos app, you don’t have to download any additional software to use it. All you have to do is access to Google Photos app, and you’ll be able to start making your movie.
Now, since this is Google we’re talking about, the company will use powerful AI to handle certain tasks for you. This is great if you want to make a quick video using some clips and pictures that you just got. But, if you’re looking for a more robust video editing experience, then you may want to look elsewhere.
A good application to consider is Lumafusion, as it is now available on Chromebooks. Getting the application will cost you a cool $40, but it’s well worth it if you want to edit videos on your Chromebook.
Using the movie editor is rather simple if you’re looking to make a quick video. When you start making your video, you’ll be able to choose one of the several themes. These are basically templates. After that, you’ll choose the photos, videos, people, and/or pets that you want included in the movie, and the app will do the rest.
However, if you don’t want Google handling everything for you, you can also create videos from scratch. You can go in and manually pick the clips and pictures that you want, load them into the editing plane, and arrange them however you want.
Since this feature is making its way to the public, you should be able to see it on your Chromebook. If you don’t, then you may just want to wait a couple of days.
