Making your video creative with seamless transitions

Even with multiple scenes, you can still seamlessly connect the shots, giving the footage a sense of continuity. Here's a small tip: ensure the direction of the camera movement between shots is consistent for smoother video transitions. The footage will be more visually impactful, with multiple shots seamlessly linked together.

Get a better effect with Motionlapse!

Tunning city shuttle effects can be achieved in just three steps. Choose Motionlapse mode, with the ActiveTrack 5.0, you can lock in on the main building and then freely roam and record the video; sleek effects in simple steps. No high-end post-production is needed, and creating is effortless.

There are also static delay and track delay modes, and built-in delay templates, making it easy to create a big-screen video. Compress slow-motion time and present the unseen wonders that the naked eye can't see.

What if the video background is messy, and the main character looks like a passerby?

Just put the phone down, avoid the clutter, and push the lens from the side to shoot the main character, and you can easily create a movie atmosphere. Find a puddle and use the reflection to get a symmetrical picture, as if opening the door to a parallel world. Only a low angle can have a big-screen feeling and highlight the main character's best moments.
