What to know
- Google Photos is adding an “Edit more” action for multi-asset video projects alongside a “Text” timeline control.
- The controls should make it easier to bring additional assets into an edit and work directly with its text segments.
- We found both additions among the video-editor strings in Google Photos 7.99.0.1007655401.
Google Photos’ redesigned video editor is already public, including its broader multi-clip, text, and music capabilities. The latest build now gives us a more specific look at how Google is expanding that editing workflow.
Our teardown of Google Photos 7.99.0.1007655401 uncovered an “Edit more” action tied to multi-asset editing, plus a “Text” control designed to expand a text segment within the editor timeline. Together, the additions point to a timeline where you can reopen a video project for a deeper pass instead of treating the initial edit as the end of the process.
“Edit more” extends the multi-asset workflow
The new “Edit more” label sits alongside the existing “Edit video” action in the app’s resources. Its identifier explicitly connects the new button to multi-asset editing, making this more than a renamed entry point for the editor.
That distinction matters because it suggests Google Photos is preparing a follow-up action for projects containing multiple assets. After assembling a video, you may be able to return to the editor and open more of that project for adjustment through a dedicated control.
The two labels show the relationship between the general editing entry point and the more targeted multi-asset action:
Text gets its own expandable timeline control
Google is also defining a “Text” button specifically for expanding a text segment in the timeline. The resource name is unusually descriptive: this is not simply a generic text-creation label, but a control associated with an existing text segment and its timeline presentation.
For you, that could make text easier to locate and adjust within a larger video project. Multi-clip timelines can become crowded once music, footage, and text are combined, so expanding an individual text segment would provide a more focused point of entry for editing it.
The relevant timeline label is concise, while its identifier supplies the functional detail:
The broader Google Photos video editor is already known; the scoop here is the pair of more precise controls taking shape inside it. “Edit more” opens the door to a deeper multi-asset editing pass, while “Text” gives text segments a distinct place in the timeline workflow.
