Actually Amazing

I went out on a limb and spent $5 on this app but it is well worth the price. One of the most powerful apps I’ve ever used. Layout and settings take a few minutes to get used to, but honestly they’re very intuitive. Only problem I’ve found is that I can’t use my flash while recording in the app, but I can just import videos so it’s fine.

Desperately needs Manual, yes. Otherwise, AMAZING.

This is the among the most powerful and versatile video processing apps available --- From what I've tried (most apps). Incredible variety of effects, with the ability to automate all available parameters via LFO/noise/random functions, or MIDI/OSC.
Limited only by your hardware, at which point strange jitters, framedrops and other artifacts emerge.
One tip: use the 'player' effect to import videos as layers. Blend modes at the top right where it says 'sourceOver'.
Many things are unintuitive and confusing (without a manual/tutorial) - but I'm glad I stuck with it a bit and experimented enough to learn area things. I am now achieving some wonderful results that would be seem unique to this app.

Response from developer

Thanx for your review & tip! By long-pressing knob button to shortcut to midi assign mode, I will also consider creating a manual.

Doesn’t work!

When import my own video,it crashes and freezes every time, and there is no video recording switch! Do not waste your money

Response from developer

Video recording is as dual function on the shutter button. Please do long press, or drag to right side. You can lock recording on right side and return to center to release. For bugs on loading your own video, I'll fix it. Please wait till update. If you want to load own video until update, player effect can load video too, use it please. Freezing input is released by eject. p.s. (May 13, 2020) The issue fixed in version 1.0.1, We apologize for the inconvenience.
