Create shareable video clips in seconds with Video Remix in Google Photos.

Google has added a new feature to Google Photos called Video Remix, which allows users to take ordinary video recordings and convert them into trimmed, edited clips suited for sharing. The feature is accessible directly within the app and is built to require little manual input, handling much of the editing process automatically.

Video Remix works by analyzing footage already stored in Google Photos and identifying moments that make for a coherent, watchable clip. The tool then assembles these selections into a short video, applying edits that give the result a more finished look. The intent is to reduce the time and skill typically required to go from raw recording to something a person would actually want to send to friends or post online.

This kind of automated video editing sits within a broader trend of AI-assisted creative tools appearing in consumer photo and video apps. Google Photos has been steadily expanding its editing capabilities over the past few years, adding features like Magic Eraser and photo unblur. Video Remix extends that approach into the video domain, where editing has historically demanded more time and technical familiarity than still-image work.

For everyday users, the practical appeal is straightforward - long or unedited clips captured on a phone often go unshared simply because preparing them feels like too much work. Video Remix targets that gap by making a usable, shareable output available almost immediately after capture. The feature is rolling out through the Google Photos app, which is available on both Android and iOS.

World models that ignore human beliefs predict the wrong actions, new research shows

Current AI world models simulate physical environments but leave out a critical layer: what people believe, want, and intend. New research introduces a "Mental World Modeling" framework that adds these mental variables, and finds that even smaller models using it can outperform larger ones that ignore human psychology. The key bottleneck turns out to be modeling how physical and mental states evolve together over time.
