Blendeo, the most advanced long exposure photo and video editor. First of its kind, it lets you change exposure time after capture to blend imagery that gets noticed. The hardest part of creating amazing long exposures is out of the control of even the best photographers. You can use a tripod or stabilization, frame the scene just right, but when do you start and stop the capture? With Blendeo you don’t need to get lucky; you take control. No need for ND filters, calculating shutter time, aperture, or ISO. Simply capture for up to 5 minutes or import a video and edit the perfect long exposure with Blendeo.
