Chromebooks are getting a video editor, virtual desks, and more

And if that's not enough, Google is going to integrate the LumaTouch LumaFusion app into Chromebooks, too.

Move over, Windows-Google Photos is getting its own M video editor, which will arrive on Chromebooks this fall. And if that's not enough, the professional-grade LumaFusion video-editing app will be available on Chromebooks, too.

Like other developers, Google typically releases a bundle of new features, which roll out over time. The headliner for the fall, however, will be the new video editor, which will complement Google Photos in much the same way Microsoft's own Video Editor (or Clipchamp, a superior alternative: fave.co/3Qe7Dkl) complements Windows' Photos app. Chromebooks will also get light and dark themes, as well as other personalization options.

If a still image of the video editor that Google released is indicative of the final feature set, however, Microsoft has nothing to worry about. That screenshot only shows options to adjust characteristics like contrast and brightness, add a soundtrack, and possibly stitch clips together. Google also says that you'll be able to add a title card.
