Whether you start from a theme or a blank slate, you’ll be able to trim video clips, or edit them to adjust the brightness, contrast and more. I haven’t yet seen or tested video edits using this tool, so I can only comment on the current information, which applies to this new Google Photos feature: It’s a start though, based on the information Google has provided. No, I don’t think the feature will initially replace a full-featured desktop app. How capable will video editing on Chromebooks be? That’s another question entirely. And within a few months, that won’t be a problem. If I had to name the biggest reason people don’t consider buying a Chromebook, it’s the lack of simple movie creation.

Given that video editing on Chromebooks currently requires either an Android app or some online service, this is huge news.
