## What is Hikarista?

＼ Save the best shots from your videos! ／

Taking screenshots from videos can make them look blurry or add unwanted borders.
This app lets you save the best frames from your videos as photos at the video’s original size and quality.

Choose a video, and the app will automatically split it into scenes. It scores each frame for focus, camera shake, composition, brightness, and whether a face is present, then uses AI to suggest the best shots from each scene.

There are four extraction modes with different numbers of photos. Try them out and see which one works best for you:
• Espresso (fewer)
• Americano (more)
• Barista (we’ll pick what looks best)
• Chapter (fast mode that extracts the first frame of each scene)

You can also save photos manually while stepping through the video frame by frame.

The app can also automatically split videos into scenes:
• Instead of splitting videos at fixed intervals, the app analyzes the content of the video and automatically finds scene boundaries.
• Each split scene can be saved as a separate video. You can also adjust the range manually.
• The split scene information can be copied in SRT format.

The app also includes photo effects such as:
• Enhance Photo (enhances photos up to 2048 pixels)
• Depth Blur (adds simulated depth-of-field blur using AI depth analysis)
• Miniature Effect (creates a toy-camera or tilt-shift effect using AI depth analysis)
• View in 3D (creates a 3D mesh from your photo for viewing in AR)
• Carbon Relief (creates a carbon-freezing effect inspired by technology from a galaxy far, far away)

Everything runs entirely on your iPhone/iPad. Your videos and photos are never uploaded anywhere, so you can use the app with peace of mind.

Notes:
• Processing may take longer depending on the video resolution, duration, and your device. Sit back and enjoy a good cup of coffee while you wait.
• Saving photos from videos is free. Saving photos processed with Enhance Photo, Depth Blur, or Miniature Effect requires a Pro upgrade.
• Saving all automatically split scene videos at once requires a Pro upgrade or the Scene Split Pack. Saving individual scene videos is, of course, free.

No mistakes in your footage—just moments waiting to be found. Not always like real life.
