Google+ Will Make Your Videos Look Better
ErnieKey writes: A new Google+ feature for uploaded videos has been released that automatically enhances lighting, color, and stability. Soon, it'll also enhance speech in videos. "As more and more people now also take videos with their smartphones, it makes sense for Google to bring some of the technologies it has developed for photos (and YouTube) to these private videos, as well. Google has long offered a similar feature for YouTube users, so there is likely some overlap between the two systems here. While YouTube offers the option to 'auto-fix' videos, though, it doesn't automatically prompt its users to do this for them. YouTube also offers a number of manual tools for changing contrast, saturation and color temperature that Google+ doesn’t currently offer."

Youtube said my shaky phone video looked shaky, would I like it to fix it? OK, I clicked. Why not?
The fixed video is a lot less shaky! I'm pleased. The parts where the girls are lifting up their dresses to show me their underpants are still dark, because they only did it in the shadows of the dance floor. But perhaps google will be fix that too some time?
Dear G+ User.
We wanted to let you know that your recently uploaded video "catsoncatnip.mp4" was automatically processed and several fixes were applied. We hope you like the results.
Also, in order to improve the user experience, we embedded a few targeted ads into your content. We are sure you won't mind as we have judged them to be unobtrusive.
Thank you for using G+

It is optional, you dork, just like auto -awesome is for pictures.
