GoPro wants to make video storytelling a cinch with QuikStories
Camera technology company GoPro is making it easier for users to share videos with the launch of QuikStories, an app that pulls footage from GoPro Hero5 cameras and automatically “creates awesome videos.”
GoPro has added a feature that automatically creates shareable videos.
To make a QuikStory, users pair their cameras with their phones and launch the GoPro app.
Thereafter, when they shoot footage, the camera sends the videos to their phones.
“Then kick back as the app automatically copies your most recent GoPro footage to your phone and creates an exciting video for you,” GoPro said in a release.
Users also have the option of customizing their videos by adding text, slow motion and speed effects, as well as by changing filters and music and adjusting the total video length. Users can also add any footage on their phones to a QuikStory video.
From there, consumers can post QuikStories directly to Instagram and Facebook, or share them via text or email.
QuikStories are available now for Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session users.
GoPro said QuikStories are polished, shareable videos.
"QuikStories is our biggest leap forward since the invention of the GoPro itself," added GoPro chief executive Nicholas Woodman. "QuikStories is the simple storytelling solution our customers have been dreaming about for years. It's an absolute game changer."
