Google Photos may soon let you remix videos just like photos

Wait 5 sec.

TL;DRGoogle Photos has been working on a new AI video tool codenamed “Soba.”With Google’s latest update, we can see that Soba will arrive as “Video remix.”Users will be able to restyle videos, change lighting, and much more.Earlier this month, when we were checking out Google’s work on some new collage template options for Google Photos, we spotted another work-in-progress feature, one much more mysterious: something codenamed “Soba.” The icon we found associated with Soba sure seemed to imply that this would be some manner of AI-powered video feature, but at the time we really didn’t have anything else to go on. Soba’s still not ready to make its public debut, but it looks like we’re already getting to the bottom of what it’s set to do.Last year, Google gave us a pair of new AI tools for Photos: Photo to video, and photo remix. And now as we look across some of the new text strings present in version 7.80.0.929302933 of Google Photos for Android, it suddenly becomes clear what Soba is going to be: remix for videos.
