Microsoft's Windows Story Remix uses machine learning to make your videos look awesome

Wouldn't it be nice if you could simply take your videos, photos and music and tell an application to turn those into a nice video presentation? With Windows Story Remix, that's what Microsoft is trying to attempt. This new application, which will launch with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update later this year, combines all of the new features in this upcoming version of Windows 10 into a simple to use, machine learning-based application that automatically creates professional-looking videos for you. A product like this always looks great in on-stage demos, of course, but if the final result is anything like what the company showed today, then it's definitely worth a closer look. After you give the application the videos and photos you want it to work with -- and maybe a soundtrack, too -- it sets off to build the video.
