Google Photos Update Reveals 7.80 AI Video Remix Tool With Daily Generation Limits

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jun 16

Summary

  • Version 7.80.0.929302933 of Google Photos for Android exposes “Video remix,” a new AI tool previously hidden under the codename “Soba.”
  • Code strings say the feature can apply cinematic relighting, background swaps and stylization to videos in one tap, with generated sound also possible.
  • Cloud processing appears required because users must back up clips to Google Photos, and free use will be capped at daily generations with higher limits for Google AI subscribers.
  • The strings also point to constraints: videos cannot be too short, steadier footage works best, and Google recommends clips focused on one or two subjects.
  • Google has not shown the tool publicly yet, and the APK teardown indicates the feature is still in development and may change before release.
