Subliminal Video - HD is an application that allows you to add hidden images and messages in your videos. Select and customize as many video frames as you want, replacing them with new images and texts. Most of the viewers won't consciously see those hidden images, which are displayed for a very short time. They can, however, have an unconscious impact on their mind. Use this application just for fun, or to trick your friends. It is now possible to create videos like the famous "Drink Coca-Cola" and "Eat Popcorn" controversial subliminal advertising (in 1957 by James M. Vicary). More recently, the movie Fight Club also used subliminal flashes to insert hidden pictures of Tyler Durden at different points in the movie. Add a unique look to your videos, changing multiple frames to create a specific effect (add color to some images, zoom on a part of the images, change the image, display custom text,...) The application can also be used to tag small parts of the videos with a text of your choice (for instance your signature), so there will be a visual (but slightly hidden) proof that the video is from you. The Input video can be imported from your device in several ways. The modified version (if there is one) or the original version of the video are both available. The camera can be used directly to record a video if needed. You can also connect your device to your computer in order to drag and drop specific videos (Files feature). The output video can be exported in several ways. Create a new video in the Photo app or in the Files app. Directly modify the input video by adding an edited version. Share the video to another application. Portrait and Landscape orientations are supported in all screens. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. You will find the original and intuitive user interface, common to all our videos applications. These applications have been featured many times by Apple and various websites. DISCLAIMER : This application is for entertainment only and should not be used for any mind therapy functionality.
