Snap just launched a new Quick Cut video editing tool right inside Snapchat that “helps Snapchatters turn their favorite Memories into beat-synced, ready-to-share videos in seconds.”
With Quick Cut, you can select multiple photos or clips and then “instantly preview a rendered video,” and the feature is accessible from multiple places in the app, including from Memories and your camera roll. When you’re making a video, Quick Cut also automatically adds music and syncs it to the clips you’re putting together, though you can change the track if you’d like, and you can add lenses to your Quick Cut video, too. If you want to do more detailed editing with tools like a timeline editor, you can do so before you post the video.
I spent a few minutes messing around with Quick Cut, and it’s fun and easy to use. With just two short clips I took of myself, Quick Cut was able to automatically stitch together a goofy video that cut between parts of both videos in time with the theme song of Stranger Things. For actual content creators or even someone who just wants to make something fun for their friends, I could see how Quick Cut could be really useful.
Quick Cut is available now on iOS, and Snap plans to expand it to “more surfaces and Android devices soon.”
