There are so many artifacts, why are they fast-fired?

In the App Store’s more than 2 million apps, the “Photography and Video” category is probably one of the most competitive categories, and the Top 10 products are arguably “phenometic.”

It’s not easy to get into this list.

The fast shadow is not a one-off. A year ago, this was a hundred-year-old product, but like other products in the fast-handed system, the product of the fast-moving product was iteratively fast. When the 3.0 version was updated two months ago, it was already in front of the App Store photography list. 15 stand firm.

Why is it fast? From the product design we can find some clues.

As a editing tool that is born out of fast hands, Quick Shadow is simple enough to understand.

Opening the App, the two most direct options are “shooting” and “clip”, and above these two buttons, you can see the most effects on the fast platform – split speed, Soundtrack, subtitle recognition, text video…

After experiencing the movie for a while, I found several details worth noting:

Secondly, the subtitle processing function of the fast shadow is very powerful, not only provides a wealth of post-tools, but also can quickly subtitle the video according to the voice. In addition, the function of automatic recognition of dialects has been added. After the actual measurement, both Shandong and Northeast dialects can be correctly identified.

It’s also worth mentioning that there is no bundle between Quick Shadow and Quick Hand. The end captions can be deleted, and the movie can be exported without watermark. This also allows Quick Shadow to retain the purity as a tool. .

In addition, Quick Shadow is a bridge to the vlog field.

At present, the shooting button that comes with the quick hand can support up to 57 seconds of video shooting, but uploading it with fast shadow clips can upload up to 10 minutes of video in quick hands. For a large number of bloggers with vlog or long video production needs. In short, Quick Shadow can help them reach 200 million daily users on the fast platform.
