GoPro introduces two new tools to its 360 editing suite in the Quik mobile app. The tools—MotionFrame and POV—offer new ways to review, capture and share traditional fixed-frame videos and photos from 360 footage.

GoPro announced the addition of two new tools to its 360 editing suite in the Quik mobile app. The tools—MotionFrame and POV—offer new ways to review, capture, and share traditional fixed-frame videos and photos from 360 footage. Both are now available in the GoPro Quik App on iOS and Android.

MotionFrame, formerly known as OverCapture, uses the phone’s gyroscope and touch gestures to output a standard video file based on how you move your phone during playback of your 360 video. After creating a re-framed MotionFrame edit, users can choose to “smooth” out manual pans for a more polished look or leave as “original” if that’s the look you prefer.

The new POV tool makes it simple to create immersive “see what I saw” POV videos out of your 360 videos, mapping your video edit to your direction of travel at the time of your original recording.

These tools add to the growing 360 editing experience in the Quik App, which also includes:

  • AI-Powered Object Tracking: Select a subject and Quik uses the power of AI to automatically keep that object in view and in focus for the entirety of the clip.
  • Keyframing: Set multiple keyframe points for where you want the video to pan and/or zoom, and the Quik app will smooth out the transitions keyframe-to-keyframe for a polished looking edit. You can also change the Digital Lens setting to achieve a range of different looks.
  • CameraFx: Quickly add dynamic, cinematic camera movements like pans, rotations, backflips, rolls and more with a single tap in the app.
  • Single Clip Edits: Add filters, adjust color, sound levels and more to single clips from 360 photos and videos.
  • Frame Grab Tool: Quickly extract high quality video stills to share as photos.
  • Cloud Editing: Edit 360 footage directly from your GoPro cloud account with a GoPro Premium or Premium+ subscription.

Desktop editors can also get the magic of 360 reframing in Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects, with the GoPro Reframe plugin. Through the plugin, users can adjust angle, position, lens distortion, horizon level, motion blur and more for their 360 and 2D media.

GoPro releases a second limited edition color of its HERO13 Black camera, now available in Forest Green.

GoPro also announced the HERO13 Black in Forest Green edition, delivering the same performance users expect from GoPro—best-in-class HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization, 5.3K60 video, tried and true GoPro durability, magnetic mounting, and the long-lasting Enduro battery.

The camera is also compatible with the all-new, interchangeable HB-Series Lenses with Auto Detection. These lenses make it easy to expand the range of creative shots you can capture with HERO13 Black:

  • Ultra immersive POV shots with a field of view up to 177° and unbreakable stabilization with the Ultra Wide Lens Mod ($119.99 MSRP, $95.99 for GoPro Subscribers)
  • Close-focus shots with the Macro Lens Mod ($149.99 MSRP, $119.99 for GoPro Subscribers)
  • Easy-to-achieve motion blur using the ND Filter 4-Pack ($89.99 MSRP, $71.99 for GoPro Subscribers)
  • Hollywood-looking cinematic 21:9 ultra wide-angle shots using the Anamorphic Lens Mod ($149.99 MSRP, $119.99 for GoPro Subscribers)
