T
he latest GoPro app update integrates
the best of the Quik video editing app
into the GoPro app, and introduces a fresh
visual design, improved storytelling tools
and enhanced filter capabilities, all powered
by a new software engine. This is the first
in a series of GoPro app updates designed
to create a single app experience for
mobile editing with all the utility functions
for controlling your GoPro from your
smartphone.The update to the storytelling experience
includes an improved QuikStory multi-clip
workflow, which enables the GoPro app
to better identify meaningful moments in
your footage and suggest story compilations
of your photos and videos, automatically.
These stories will include recently shot
GoPro content and users can also add any
photo or video saved in the media library of
their smartphone. Another new capability
of the GoPro app is the ability to mix and
match filters in a single QuikStory. Thelatest update will hand users the keys to
more than 20 filter options and the licence
to apply multiple filter types within the
same multi-clip video. The result is a highly
customisable editing experience with more
creative options.The GoPro app update offers additional
creative flex by removing draft limitations
of the previous editing model. QuikStory
videos will remain in an always-editable
format so that users can go back and make
changes at any time. This new functionality
is a critical improvement from the previous
Quik pass-through workflow, providing
GoPro app users with a more powerful way
to manage their media and update their
edits on-demand.The one-app experience will also include
single clip editing to unlock a full editing suite
for single clips, new themes, and expanded
platforms for integrating third-party content
into GoPro edits.GoPro App Adds Quick
