Lay your trip photos and videos along one long horizontal timeline. Decorate with maps and stamps, then export it as a video with music. Description Scroll back through your trip. ScrollAlbum arranges your travel photos and videos along a single long horizontal timeline that you scroll through side to side. When you're happy with it, export the whole thing as a video with background music. JUST PICK THE DATES Set the dates of your trip and the app gathers photos and videos from your library into a timeline. It starts with camera shots only, so screenshots and saved images don't get mixed in β you can add anything you want back by hand. MAPS TRACE YOUR JOURNEY Using location data, the app places circular maps at the spots you visited, plus route maps that follow how you moved. At the end of the trip you get a "trip record" grouping the places you stopped by country or by region. Maps can be drawn as line art, standard, or photo style. DECORATE IT YOUR WAY - 78 built-in stamps, placed automatically to match what's in the photo and the country you visited - Washi tape, tilt, white borders, and ellipse / star / hexagon cutouts - Text, speech bubbles, and freehand drawing with your finger or Apple Pencil (rainbow ink, outlines) - Wallpapers and two themes, Cool and Pop, to change the overall mood - Resize photos or cut out the subject - Make your own stamps from your images (requires a one-time unlock) EXPORT AS A VIDEO Your finished timeline exports as a video that scrolls from left to right. Choose HD 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K, preview and pick background music, and adjust the scrolling speed. Videos are exported as real moving footage, not still frames. YOUR PHOTOS STAY AS THEY ARE This app never deletes or rewrites your photos. You can rotate them or change favorites from here if you want to. - The app shows ads. Unlocking the stamp features with a one-time purchase removes them. - The first import may take a while because images are downloaded from iCloud. Wi-Fi is recommended.
