GoPro Quik
An app that turns your clips and photos into edits synced to music.
What GoPro Quik does
GoPro Quik is GoPro's editing app. You pick clips and photos and it chooses the best moments, syncs them to the beat of a song and adds transitions and filters through themes. Those automatic edits, and cloud backup, need a Premium subscription.
Quik is one of the easiest ways to turn a pile of moments into a short video. Choose your media and a theme, and it picks the best shots, cuts them to the beat of your music and adds cinematic transitions and filters. You can still tweak the result. GoPro's Google Play listing marks automatic edits, beat sync, themes and text overlays as Premium features.
It is made by GoPro, so it shines with GoPro footage: highlight videos arrive on your phone while the camera charges, and there are tools like horizon leveling and 360 reframing. Those camera features, plus cloud backup, depend on a GoPro or a Premium subscription.
One review lists exports at up to 1080p, so check the app if you need 4K. It doesn't do detailed timeline editing. For quick trip videos and photo montages with music, it's a lovely low-effort option.
