Last week, we covered how to remix in Google Photos. If you missed that one, you can find it here:

I’m thinking that I want to continue on the Google Photos subject this week. Since I have been working on the program for the last two lessons, I found some other features you might not know about. This time, I want to teach you how to create a Highlight video from your images. Yep, you can do even more creative works with Google Photos. Now that I have done the research, it is time to share that knowledge with my readers. Before we jump into our new lesson, make sure to check out my other articles:

Time to start our lesson for today.

How To Create Highlight On Google Photos

This will be shown on my laptop using the Google browser.

Step 1: Find your Chrome browser and open it.

Step 2: Once in your browser, look to the top right. You should see your Profile image and to the left of that the Google Apps link. Click on the square.

Step 3: The app window will appear, and you want to find the Google Photos App. Click it.

Step 4: Once on the Photos screen, look to the top right for the Plus sign. Click it, and a menu will appear. On the menu, click on Highlight video link.

Step 5: The Create Video screen will appear. This is where all the options are to create your highlight video.

Here are some of the options they offer you:

Search box
Suggestions (From location to Last week)
Add person
Add dates
Create your own video

For this article, we will create our own video. So click on Create your own video at the top right.

Step 6: You will now be on the screen with all your images and videos you have saved. To select the ones you want to be part of this, click the circle at the top left of each image/video. You can add up to 50 to this highlight. After you have chosen all the images, click the Create link at the top right.

Step 7: This screen will appear, and you have two sections to work with:

First Section: This is at the center left and gives you a preview of your video. The other options they offer here:

Add music option (that is, the music note at the bottom)
Change the aspect ratio from Portrait and Landscape (Next to the music note)
Save

Second section: This is on the right of the screen where you can adjust how long the image or video plays. There are 3 dots to the right of each one. Click that, and you will get this menu:

Insert Clips
Duplicate
Remove

Let’s move back and select the add music option at the bottom (Music Note). Click it.

Step 8: This will give you options for Theme Music you can add to your Highlight video. They have a few categories to choose from. Click the circle to select one. Then you can preview your video to see if you like it. If you are happy, click on Save at the top.
