About

BEAN PICK

Features
Read full description

BEAN PICK turns a long video into short highlight clips you can post. It listens to the whole thing, writes out what was said, and picks the parts that stand on their own. You get a list of candidates with a title for each, and you keep the ones you like. Subtitles come along with the clip. Fonts, colours, position and how many lines at a time are all yours to set, and there are ready made looks if you would rather not fiddle. The canvas can be vertical, square or wide, and each clip keeps its own setting. In the Music player tab, add a song with its album cover and lyrics and it becomes a video styled like a music player. Type the title and artist and they appear in the template you pick. Choose from 100 templates and star your favourites. You can also retouch each person on screen: smoother skin, face shape, eyes, nose and mouth, colour, makeup and body. The app is split into three panes, List, Canvas and Edit, and you switch between them with the tabs at the bottom. A black status bar above the canvas always shows the playhead position, the length and which highlight you are on. On iPad the three panes sit side by side. Choose a Light, Dark or Space Gray theme and an accent colour. Touch and hold a row in the list for options such as Edit as is and Polish subtitles. Save the finished clip straight to your photo library or keep it in Files. About the license The app works without a license: opening video, subtitles, picking the highlights, and styling are all free. A license turns on exporting. BEAN PICK 1 month license — KRW 12,000 per month, auto-renewing BEAN PICK 12 month license — KRW 120,000 per year, auto-renewing It renews at the same price unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can turn it off any time in Settings > your Apple Account > Subscriptions.
