Google+ Stories and Movies: memories made easier
May 21, 2014
Of course we can’t do your laundry (thanks but no thanks), or run your errands (well, maybe a few). But with Google+ Stories we can automatically weave your photos, videos and the places you visited into a beautiful trip summary.
No more sifting through photos for your best shots, racking your brain for the sights you saw, or letting your videos collect virtual dust. We’ll just gift you a story after you get home. This way you can relive your favorite moments, share them with others, and remember why you traveled to begin with.
Here is a story from celebrity blogger Miss Malini.
MissMalini’s story takes you through her recent trip to Australia as a travel blogger. Join her as her story showcases the country’s scenic landscapes, exciting adventures and more.
When it’s less about travel, and more about today's events (like a birthday party, or baby’s first steps), Google+ Movies will produce a highlight reel of your photos and videos—including effects, transitions and a soundtrack. Starting today we’re bringing Movies to all devices, so lots more people will receive these video vignettes.
To get started with Stories and Movies, simply back up your photos and videos to Google+. And that’s it. Auto Awesome will get to work in the background, and you’ll get notified when a story or movie is ready. (In fact: if your photo library is already online, you may already have stories waiting for you.)
Stories will be available this week on Android and desktop (iOS coming soon), and Movies will be available everywhere. So look for the Android update (v4.4), view the full list of improvements on Google+, and enjoy your walks down memory lane.
