In fact, the Movie Studio app isn't even bundled with the Nexus 7. ![]() Google has switched CEOs and launched two new versions of Android since then. It's been a year and a half now since Eric Schmidt announced this video editor. A small bump came with the advent of ICS: from version 1.0 to version 1.1. Languishing in its own lack of updates and meager feature set. To this day, that's where Google's native video editing app has sat. Eventually, YouTube got its own video editor that was miles ahead of Android's, rendering this one more or less obsolete. Really, unless you just wanted to cut off the beginning or end of a project, the program was useless. ![]() Playback was impossibly slow (though, to be fair, this may be because of the Tegra 2 processor inside the Xoom). But if you wanted to cut a clip in the middle and insert something in between? Nope. You could trim the ends of a clip just fine, sure. Sorry to be so harsh, Google, but it's true. Part of the problem is that Movie Studio sucked. You may recall the Xoom didn't sell too well. Not only would Android need a lot of third-party app support, but first-party apps would be essential to the platform's success. At the time, Apple already had a year-long head start on tablets. This made it possible for tablet users to not just view content, but to create it as well. It was a rather exciting new addition to Google's first foray into the tablet world. ![]() Back in February of 2011, Eric Schmidt took the stage at MWC to announce Google's latest tablet-oriented app: Movie Studio.
