Vool - iOS-video editor with stickers and a social component
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
different photoappendices and social networks such as Instagram now simply pond-pond, in this niche is now almost no surprise and developers took up the video. Despite the fact that there has long dominated these "pillars" as Coub and VineNew applications continue to emerge. One of them is Vool - video editor by immigrants from Yahoo!, which has animated stickers, and the ability to upload your videos in the built-in social network.
The application to register or use your account from Facebook, which I did. Immediately upon entering, we show the Popular tab, focusing on the social aspects. The controls are located at the top of the screen, where the Categories tab, search button to create a new video, and your profile.
Most of all we are interested in shooting and processing their own videos, and start with it, but generally involves Vool enough functionality:
- shooting videos, which you can add stickers
- Editing finished video
- creation of joint video with your friends
- the creation of thematic video competition where you can win a prize
The first option is the most simple - select a different animated clip-art (hats, mustaches, glasses, humorous characters) and record video with the iPhone camera, adjusting the position of the stickers on the screen. Maximum clip length is 30 seconds. In this case, stickers can be changed during shooting.
After shooting the video, we can add the animation, music, sketch or your account, which will be displayed in a small window on top of the main video.
Then the video will be downloaded and you can add a description, tags, and choose the cover (one of several frames).
In the operations of edit-ready video available to us to add stickers, storytelling, music, merge several clips into one and trimming. Having selected an operation, add videos from the camera roll, customize and see the result.
Then save the finished video. Unfortunately, export it to a local file can not, therefore, it is laid out in Vool network, but you can make it private and inaccessible to other users.
No less interesting feature Vool it, allowing you to create videos with your friends. It looks like this: you set the theme of video and add a first fragment, then each of the selected add friends to your piece of the video and as a result is produced by the roller.
And if you feel that you are ripe for serious directorial feats, you can upload your videos in themed competitions by selecting Submit to gig. If your video gets more likes, then you can get a cash prize.
Overall Vool leaves behind a pleasant experience, if not for one "but" - all the same developers still have to work on optimization, because even on iPhone 5s sometimes some cool action loads the processor that feels good on heating smartphone. I understand that the video processing - it is resource-intensive process, but still. Owners of older devices, in this case, I do not envy. Another disadvantage is the inability to save the clips in the Camera Roll without putting some in the net. Although, in the application of social orientation is not surprising.
