Problem No.1 :

i created a movie via Google Photos from my nexus 6p last night, mixture of photos & a small video clip and music. total about 40 seconds long.

Every time i try to play the video, edit screen opens up.

Yes i googled for the solutions  -

1. cleared data but did not do the trick

2. maybe takes time to process the video ?!?

Its almost 15 hours now, still get the same edit screen.

FYI - i will check my computer tonight (will see if the same shows on pc)

No. 2 :

we were able to select different themes when we create a  movie, Now it only has the option to select Length of Photo/video & add music.

Am i missing something? Did Google remove the feature?
