Video Highlights is probably the coolest application that any Android manufacturer has ever come up with, at least in my humble opinion. HTC doesn’t promote it enough. Video Highlights first debuted with Sense 5 on the HTC One (M7), and has really matured with Sense 6 and the All New HTC One (M8).

If you’re not familiar with HTC’s Video Highlights feature, it will automatically produce a professionally looking video of various images, Zoes, and other videos. You can select content from certain events, locations, albums, dates, or even your starred favorites. Just take a look at the results from my vacation last year.

There are twelve themes to choose from that include their own unique effects and music. You can even use your own music files. Most videos will be 30 seconds in length, which is perfect for most events, but if you have a lot of content from your family vacation, you can extend it if you use your own music.


Now Google does offer something similar in Auto Awesome Movies, so those of you that don’t have an HTC One phone can certainly use that and have some fun. But what makes HTC One phones so special is the Zoe function, which allows you to shoot video and grab 20 images at the same time. Nobody wants to take all video or all photos, so by combining the two, it makes for a better highlight video later. Google+ Auto Awesome Movies does offer more flexibility, but HTC’s Video Highlights is a better interface and is simple to use.

In the video below, I walk you through on how you can create the perfect Video Highlights reel. When you’re happy with your result, just save it and share it wherever you want. And coming this summer, your friends and family will be able to add their own images and videos to your Video Highlights reel using Zoe Cloud.
