Google is bringing its Motion Stills app, which helps to create stabilized short videos and GIFs, to Android 5.1 and later.
Google launched its Motion Stills iOS app last year, which stabilizes users’ Live Photos and lets them view and share them as looping GIFs and videos.
“The community has been asking us to also make Motion Stills available for Android, and we listened,” said Google engineer Karthik Raveendran.
Google said Motion Stills on Android provides users with the ability to instantly transform what they have captured into short clips that are easy to watch and share.
“You can capture a short Motion Still with a single tap like a photo, or condense a longer recording into a new feature we call Fast Forward,” Google said.
In addition to stabilizing your recordings, Motion Stills on Android comes with an improved trimming algorithm that guards against pocket shots and accidental camera shakes.
“All of this is done during capture on your Android device, no internet connection required,” Google said.
