LandyVision® is a new way to watch films and listen to music interactively, a new kind of fun. It is played like a video game—in real time, a new kind of fun. It creates a new form of musical visual experience. It is also is a new way to synchronize music and video for both the highest level of professional editing as well as the anyone just wanting to enjoy his/her favorite music with films. It is a new type of video music editing system, played like a video game—in real time, having fun, rather than having to tediously struggle with data as normal editing systems require. We call these music videos LV videos short for LandyVision®, the name given to this process by Elliott Landy, who created it. LV videos are made by playing a video and any music you have on your device. You change the speed of the video to match the cadence of the music. You do this in real time, like playing a video game and the app remembers what you have done so you can replay it. You can change the songs instantly with a single tap. You can change the playing speed (frames per second) of the video by swiping the screen. You can also tap the rhythm of the video frames to play them one by one, still frame to 30 fps, backwards or forwards, at different speeds to go with the music. You can also change the music track instantly during this process. Your performance is controlled either by using the toolbar, or by tapping and swiping on the screen. In the future you will be able to export your creations to social media.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: HDR at $1.99 against LandyVision's $299.99. HDR also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). LandyVision's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
