I saw Microsoft’s series of feature updates. It is mentioned that the latest Windows 10 update to be released in the fall will bring a video production software called “Windows Story Remix”, which seems to replace the well-established “Windows Movie Maker”. “(I think my wedding video that year was the latter simply completed). The biggest feature of “Windows Story Remix” is that it combines Microsoft’s machine learning technology to automatically synthesize and edit videos, photos, and music for you to produce a brand new video in “one step”.
We only need to throw the selected photos, videos, and music into the “Windows Story Remix”, and it will use the machine AI to “automatically” edit clips like many people laughing together, some people making wonderful actions, etc., plus various movie-like scenes. The special effects allow us to complete a good-looking micro movie without editing it ourselves.
Looking forward to it? I am also looking forward to it, but this update will not be available until the fall of 2017, so is there any other tool that can help us achieve “automatically producing videos with machine AI” before then? Of course there are, let me recommend three choices that I have actually used and found to be easy to use. By the way, I will compare the differences.
Say goodbye to following suit and make your brand attitude! 1/14 DDG takes you to find out the essence of the brand and rebuild a strong brand! The three tools are:
Automatic video creation built into the “Google Photos App” “Quik”, a free ai video editing tool from GoPro’s acquisition of Replay “Magisto”, the smart micro-film ai generation service I first started to use Friends who often watch computer playthings should have seen the three free video production tools I recommend above, and today’s article, let me analyze the similarities and differences of their functions and the pros and cons of their effects.
In conclusion, the easiest to use is “Google Photos”, the most professional effect is “Quik”, and the more intelligent effect is “Magisto”. Each has its own characteristics, depending on your needs. Which side.
“Automatic Video Maker” in Google Photos: advantage:
Automatic analysis of all your photo albums (no need to choose photos and videos by yourself) Automatically select wonderful photos and short videos to make Can integrate mobile phone and camera photos and videos together (after syncing through the cloud) Automatically generated according to your special itinerary (for example, a trip to Japan) Automatically generated according to your special holiday (for example, child growth record) Automatically add special effects and music You can manually reselect photos, edit videos, replace special effects and music afterwards You can also manually select photos and videos, and generate videos at any time You can go back and modify any micro-movie videos that have been generated at any time shortcoming:
The manual editing function is a bit positive Automatically generated movies are relatively lacking in powerful movie effects Can only be made after syncing from Google Photos (another point of view is an advantage) Unable to adjust video length If the final “video effects” are all made by AI, the video effects of Quik and Magisto are both more exciting than Google Photos. At present, the video effects automatically produced by Google Photos are probably animated slideshows with special effects and music.
But the advantage of Google Photos is that “all processes are automated.”
Not only is AI used in video production, Google Photos will also automatically produce micro movies like “Journey to Japan” based on Google Maps’ travel records. Or based on facial recognition to automatically generate short videos such as “Children’s Growth Record” at important moments. And it will automatically help me select wonderful photos and videos from the tens of thousands of photos in the entire Google Photos album to make.
Then, because the photos of my phone and camera are automatically synchronized to Google Photos, the videos automatically generated by Google Photos will also be automatically combined with the high-quality photos of the single-lens camera, not just the photos and videos in the phone.
This process is very smooth, as long as I usually turn on the automatic upload of Google Photos, there will be an endless stream of automatic video generation, or I can integrate various materials to make videos at any time.
Quik’s “Automatic Video Production”: advantage:
Manually select photos and videos and then automatically make them immediately Can replace special effects themes, music Film effects have film-like focus, cut in, fade out and lens shift Smart editing function, can automatically capture many highlights in a short film After determining the length of the video, it will be automatically re-edited to the correct length of time There is also a completed manual editing function to freely adjust the video Can read photos and videos from mobile phones, Google Photos, Facebook, etc. shortcoming:
Sometimes it fails to read photos and videos from other services Quik is what I think is the “most amazing effect” of the three AI video production apps in this article!
Although Quik can’t automatically analyze the itinerary and automatically select photos and videos to make like Google Photos, we can manually select the photos and videos we want and do this step. Next, Quik will automatically analyze and then Automatically edit a wonderful movie.
In addition to special effects and music, Quik’s most powerful feature is that it uses a lot of “movie-like mirroring”. Or you can use “Smart Editing” to automatically pick out the most exciting two or three sections of a short film, so the film automatically cut by Quik will look like a movie and have a story.
In addition, when the automatically generated video has some dissatisfactions, Quik is also the app with the “most professional manual editing” function among the three AI video production tools, so you still have a lot of room to edit it yourself. Videos.

Can automatically read photos and videos in mobile phones and automatically generate micro movies You can also manually select photos and videos to generate micro movies Select the theme and soundtrack to automatically generate a micro movie Have a variety of specific video production themes (such as storytelling, food, birthdays, etc.) shortcoming:
Can’t be too free to manually modify and edit the video results Magisto is my choice between Google Photos and Quik.
Magisto has a fully automatic design of Google Photos. For example, it automatically generates important daily response videos. However, because it does not analyze real trips or people like Google Photos, there are often some useless videos generated.
But Magisto’s movie effects are better than Google Photos. Magisto has some great movie special effects themes, which can make the automatically generated movies also very story-telling. Although they are not as cinematic as Quik, they have more splendid special effects. It is very suitable for friends who want a lot of special effects in the film.
However, Magisto is the only one of these three tools that cannot modify the video afterwards, and there is almost no manual editing function for the video, all of which are automatically generated.

Through the cloud synchronization, the micro movies made in Google Photos can be modified at any time to modify special effects, music, or even go back. Edit any paragraph in the movie.
The above, whether it is “Google Photos”, “Quik” or “Magisto”, are all good tools that can help friends who can’t edit videos and don’t have time to edit videos by using machine AI to automatically generate wonderful videos. You can choose one Most suitable for your own use.
