GoPro's Quik app gets a revamp after ages, and we love it; GoPro 9, GoPro Quik

People who purchase a GoPro, usually end up with a large amount of data that is stored on multiple storage devices or cloud storage. It becomes inconvenient to have access to all the data at one point for editing or viewing. The new GoPro Quik App address the storage by offering dedicated cloud storage for your GoPro videos and also provides a host of new features for a Quik edit.

What is GoPro's Quik App?

The older Quik App would automatically find the best moments from your video footage such as smiling people, super steady footage, slow-motion shots and speedy sections and compile it all together for a final video. It would still give you an option to edit sections of the video before exporting but would eliminate long hours of editing.

What's new in the GoPro Quik App?

The new Quik app does everything that the older App would do but goes a step beyond the editing options once provided by the older app and also allows the user to live stream directly from the GoPro. GoPro also allows you to store your GoPro videos on a dedicated cloud service and the Quik app is able your videos directly from the cloud and edit them if required. The new app also includes 25 filters for your videos and 18 royalty-free soundtracks that can be used for editing. 

If you wish to turn your best moments into an animated showreel, the new feature "Mural". The clever AI will stitch the best moments together, add effects and music to it. And in case you are not convinced with the AI's work. You can edit the pre-edited video further and add your magical touch. Later this year, GoPro will enable cloud storage of your videos posted on Quik's Mura. And will provide you with an option to store the original quality of the video.

Design and Features

GoPro Quik's has a very familiar but refreshed look and feel, with GoPro's Mural taking the highlight. Anyone who wanted more control over the edit options that Quik used to offer should definitely try the update Quik now. For creating a new Mural, the user does have to select pictures and videos. Some might fight that tedious but the final video is sure to surprise you. 

Everything from contrast, colour, vibrancy, exposure, trimmed, cropped, filtered, and text, can be adjusted for every single pic and video. But the most impressive feature is the new multi-speed mode that allows you to adjust the speed of the video mid-clip. This will be a handy feature for editing car videos, surfing, skating, etc. The feature is available only to subscribers along with other exclusive filters and music. Once the video is ready, it can be exported to the camera roll or can be uploaded directly to your linked Instagram, Facebook or YouTube accounts.

Additionally, the Quik App can also be used to control your GoPro camera remotely.

Verdict

The new updated Quik App is a must-have if you like to edit your GoPro videos on the go. And with the cloud storage that GoPro provides, the Quik App is a one-stop-shop for all the videos you have captured.
