It\u2019s free, simple to use, and always seems to be adding neat new features that really enhance your ability to organize and share your pictures in fun ways.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite options is the ability to create a personalized slideshow video, including adding music and choosing transitions between photos. I can put together a nicely organized presentation of up to 50 photos\u2014without having to dig out the old slide carousel from the attic to do it. Believe it or not, you can do it right from your smartphone!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can create slideshow videos on your Android smartphone (you can also do this using iPhone, though a few steps may vary).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To get started, open your Google Photos app, then go to the menu in the top right corner (this appears as three vertical dots) and tap \u201cmovie.\u201d&nbsp; This will take you into your photo library and ask you to \u201cSelect items.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Select the photos or video clips you want to include (again, you can choose up to 50) by tapping them, and then tap the \u201cCreate\u201d button at the upper right of your screen. Your video will take just a minute or two to process, after which you can add a title, select the color theme by tapping the \u201cSpecial Effect\u201d option, and even add music by tapping the \u201cSong\u201d option.<\/li>\n<li>Once you\u2019ve finished editing, you can share the finished product by going back to the menu at top right, and choosing \u201cExport\u201d, to store the clip on your phone, or \u201cShare,\u201d to post it to Facebook or other social media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just like that, you\u2019ve assembled a wonderful memento for friends and family to enjoy. I love to assemble short videos after vacations or special celebrations. It\u2019s a great way to preserve and share these special moments in a unique and fun way, and best of all, with Google Photos, all it takes is a few clicks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With over 200 million users worldwide, Google Photos is the most popular cloud storage option out there, and it\u2019s easy to see why.
