Bricolage is a powerful special-effects toolbox for tricking out your photos and movies like the Hollywood pros do. Pipe your video through a chain of basic effects, each processing the picture in a different way. With over 130 to choose from it is easy to create completely unique looks and effects.Mix multiple images and animate special effects to give your videos the finishing touches they need, from subtle regional color correction or exposure adjustment, to wild cartoon colors or funhouse-mirror distortions.Just bring in a video (or photo!) and drop effects between the input and the output. Bricolage takes advantage of the powerful graphics hardware in your iPad or iPhone to deliver smooth playback and responsive controls. You can even zoom into your video while it's playing.And when you've built a great effect, just save it to a 'flow' to reuse and combine with other projects. Node-based Compositing comes to the iPhone and iPadBricolage uses the industry-standard technique known as 'node-based compositing' to build complex effects from a chain of simple building blocks. You'll combine different layers using photoshop-style blending modes or black & white masks. Make different versions of an image and combine them back together to blur or darken the edges of an image, or selectively recolor the sky or ground. Use animated transitions to switch video streams or overlay text and graphics. Cut out shapes from pictures using real Bezier curves. Apply image distortions and move them around the video, or use Apple's Face Recognition technology to mark or cover faces detected in your video. Place, scale and animate video overlays or shapes and gradients. Process your shots to look like a desert, or add film grain and a vintage photo process. You can even add titles or overlay time code on your movies.Bricolage uses custom GLSL programs to process HD video in real time directly on the graphics processor. Node-based compositing used to require a powerful desktop computer, now Bricolage puts it in the palm of your hand. If you have an older device, don't worry, Bricolage offers half- and quarter-resolution 'proxy' modes, so you can get a preview of most effects with responsive controls even at HD, while still producing a full-resolution movie. Despite its great power, Bricolage is quite simple to use. Just build a chain of effects for your images to flow through from the inputs to the output. Drag effect nodes to 'kiss' the output of one to the input of another to form a connection. Or press and hold a link to insert a new node in the middle. With a zooming, scrolling canvas, you can organize your flows the way you like. Immediate feedback in the nodes makes it easy to experiment.Features:Export photos and movie files to iTunes File Sharing, YouTube, Vimeo, your Photo Album or other apps like Dropbox or iMovieProcess still images or videosCombined preview and node editing view layouts let you build a flow with live feedbackPre-built templates to make advanced effects easy and give you a head start on your own awesome creations.Save your node flows and import them into other projectsBuilt-in helpInfinite undos, and for the indecisive, re-dos.Playback proxies at reduced resolution for more responsive editing on older devicesZoom and pan photos and videos, even while they are playingMultiple output resolutionsOver 120 standard Core Image EffectsMany more unique custom effects including: Fractal Noise* Edge Outlines Film Grain* Lens Distortion Stipple Sketch ASCII Art Move / Rotate / Scale Recolor Tilt Shift Green Screen Remover* Time Code Overlay Text* (iPad only) Face Replace** Face Mask** Relative Crop Fade Over Switcher Multi-mixer Color Bands Color Blends Flatten Image HSL/YUV/HWB Convert Red-Blue and Split-Screen Stereoscopic composite*Fully functional effect, additional purchase req'd to remove watermark
