If you can’t decide whether to buy a GoPro camera because there are more less expensive alternatives, then this news might help in your decision-making: GoPro is acquiring Splice and Replay mobile apps. This development doesn’t just prove GoPro has a lot of money but it also proves that the company is becoming a powerhouse when it comes to mobile videos. GoPro isn’t just a compact video camcorder now, the name GoPro is now synonymous to extreme action, high quality videos, and excellent mobile video editing solutions.
Bringing the technologies of Splice and Replay is expected to make a more convenient and powerful editing solution out of GoPro. If you’re not familiar with the pair, they are two apps that have been popular among the mobile video enthusiasts who believe you can create an inspiring and moving video using just a smartphone, if not a GoPro.
Splice is known for offering manual customized edits with some advanced features while Replay offers quick selection of video clips and then combining them into a single video. Both apps are award-winning applications so we can expect the features will be added to GoPro someday. The idea is to deliver the “fastest and most enjoyable mobile editing experience” according to GoPro Nicholas Woodman when talking about Splice, Replay and GoPro merging.
You can download the apps from the iOS App Store. The Android version will arrive later this 2016. As for the actual GoPro cam, we can expect the features of the two apps to be integrated in the cam someday.
