Much improved on the original Quik app and a total refresh for all GoPro users, the action camera maker’s new device-agnostic app has a slick new user interface including new filters, tools and music. Once you’re done you can export the video to your camera roll, directly to linked accounts for Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, or generate a share link. Sadly, that feature is limited to subscribers, as are a plethora of exclusive filters and music tracks. That’s really handy for, say, a ski run, which you can speed through then slow-down for a jump or any interesting moment. Most impressive of all is a new multi-speed mode that allows you to adjust the speed of a video mid-clip. It’s also possible to extract still images from videos. Each video or photo in a reel can be adjusted for exposure, contrast, colour and vibrancy, and it can be trimmed, cropped, filtered, and text added. However, everything is simple to change, with basic re-ordering of clips and photos a drag-and-drop affair while inserting and new content is easy. Footage is brief, zoomed-in on, and centred upon, so sometimes photos are mistakenly cropped, while transitions between them are very basic. The compilation highlight videos are beat-synced to music, but they’re very simple. The automatic edits can be basic, but you can change the settings and the GoPro Quik app offers a good deal of control. This uploads every photo and video posted to the Quik mural feed at its original quality, and no additional charge - offering a much more effective way of backing up your footage than most cloud storage services. So it’s not really a place to store your favorite content, but only that which you want to turn into an animated showreel.Ī cloud backup service which GoPro promised would be coming became available for Quik subscribers from August 2021. However, saving to the Mural necessitates you creating and titling a new video. If its clever AI doesn’t do it for you, Quik also includes a bunch of editing tools including multi-speed video (really useful for resurrecting otherwise dull-as-dishwater footage), filters, themes and music. Post it to your mural and Quik auto-edits it into a highlight video set to music. It’s been showcased in the GoPro app since December. Key to this is its ‘Mural’, a hub area that will show you all of your best and your favourite photos and videos. Quik is out to be your new private content feed.
