Google Photos will make editing your videos even easier – we know that

A recent APK analysis has revealed more information about what to expect from the upcoming Google Photos feature Spotlight.

Android Authority did the teardown and examined the lines of code for version 6.97 of Google Photos for Android devices and found that the previously discovered Spotlights feature has been renamed to Presets. Presets gives users four options for videos that essentially work as one-tap editing tools.

The available options are “Easy Cut,” which cuts to the key moment in the video and enhances the colors; “Slow Mo,” which applies a slow motion effect to the selected area; “Zoom,” which automatically zooms in and out of the video in the selected area; and “Track,” which automatically tracks and zooms in on the person in the video.

According to Android Authority, it’s possible to adjust the duration of edits while editing using a slide, but apparently it’s not possible to export a video that includes all four preset edits at once. Instead, users can only use the basic edits and one preset on a video. However, this could change when the feature is released.
