Create a Custom Themed Movie on Google Photos

  • For starters, make sure you have the latest version of Google Photos (iOS/Android) installed on your phone. Movie themes can be accessed on the web in case you donโ€™t want to update. In addition to that, do note that all your pictures and videos need to be synced with Google Photos in order for this to work.
  • To get started, head into the Assistant tab located on the left.
  • Tap the green Movie icon and select any one of the available themes. Click โ€œGet Startedโ€ from the pop-up.
  • Next, depending on the theme you chose, you will be either notified as soon as the clip is ready or asked toย pick a protagonist.
  • For instance, if you select โ€œThey Grow up so Fastโ€, the app will ask you to choose a child. However, movies with themes like the โ€œSmiles of 2017โ€ will be automatically generated.
