Reduces unwanted noise and increase the clarity of your videos!

When you shoot a video in low light it often comes out looking grainy or "noisy." Now, it's easy to make low-light videos look more crisp with a simple drag and drop of the Reduce Noise effect.

Animate skies in your photos

Make it look like the sky in your photo is moving!

Add some wow factor to any photo that includes the sky. The Animated Sky Guided Edit makes it easy to replace a static sky with a moving one for an eye-catching result.

Create dynamic time-lapse videos

Use the time-lapse feature to your photos and videos to make it feel like time is lapsing!

Play with time by turning a series of photos or videos into a dramatic time-lapse video. The Time-lapse Guided Edit makes it a snap.

Fill the frame to match your video

Fill in the black bars around photos and videos to match the frame!

Often you would have seen black bars on the sides of your photos and videos. These black bars appear because of difference between the aspect ratio of media and the PRE project. Use this guided edit to fill the black bars to match the frame.

Find videos by faces
