I built my first slideshow-video for a family birthday in about four minutes on my phone, sitting in a car park, and it looked genuinely good. That’s the pitch for Google Photos’ video tool in one sentence: it is the fastest way to turn a pile of stills into something with music and motion that you’d actually send to relatives. It is also, quietly, a lock-in machine — the free unlimited storage that once made it a no-brainer ended in June 2021, and the “movie” you assemble lives inside Google’s walls until you export it. So this is two posts in one: how to make the video, and how to keep the source photos somewhere you control.
