OK Video - Clips Camera

Fixing some bugs, taking care of business:
- Finally headset mics and external microphones are supported
- Updated the audio pipeline in general to be much simpler and future proof.
- Looping previews aren’t behaving looping weirdly anymore
- Toyed around with the projects screen transition a little

Have you ever felt the need to record a quick video while still working on another video? Well, today is your lucky day! Today we’re adding a big new feature to OK Video: Projects!

Tap the projects button in the top left corner and you’ll be taken to the brand-new ‘My Projects’ section. This is where you get an extra project to work on, for free! Have you ever tried making a time-lapse of a growing plant in your home? Or wanted to goof off with a quick video while also documenting your vacation in a longer video? I haven’t but that sure sounds like fun!

With a single in-app purchase you’ll unlock an additional four projects to work on. Kinda like save slots in those old school videogames, just pick any project!

This is a pretty big update. While I was working on the Projects feature I also found a whole slew of bugs and little things I had to fix. Here's a list, I know some people like to go through to these. Maybe your pet peeve is on here too and I’ve finally noticed!

- Added Projects feature: two free projects and a total of six available projects unlocked with an in-app purchase.
- Added an option to default your zoom to 0.5x, meaning that the ‘Reset Zoom’ button zooms out further for people who have an ultra wide lens.
- Fixed multiple issues with rotation. Now hopefully never recording upside down again. The app should always rotate to the orientation of your device when it can and will be forced in the right direction when needed.
- Fixed scaling issues when recording with low light boost on.
- Optimized parts of the app that made the experience slower than necessary.
- Found and fixed the problem with out-of-sync audio, leading to some videos refusing to export. This should not happen anymore.
- Improved timing when previewing your project starting at a specific clip in the Timeline Editor. (Hit the play button when a clip is selected in the editor)
- A lot of code is looking way nicer now. You might not see it, but trust me: you’ll feel it.

Also: thanks to Shilly for once again making a super tasty design, thanks to Rafa for making the app icons super bright and shiny, and thanks to Sarah and Ryan for helping me out with the copy!

That seems to be all! Really curious about what you think of this new feature and would love to hear your suggestions. Don’t hesitate to email me at hi@okvideo.app

OK BYE

Nothing big to report... yet! Some small under the hood changes:
- Increased app icon loudness by 150% (look at those colors POP!)
- Fixed some issues where some recordings might go haywire and misbehave
- More small stuff that nobody might ever notice, by I do! I care!

Stay tuned for bigger stuff in the coming weeks :)

Hi! How nice of you to stay up to date. You’re not going to regret this one, I promise.

Some small fixes this time around:
- Fixed an issue on notched devices where swiping up the app would unexpectedly cause it to start recording. That was annoying and I’m sorry
- No longer showing the watermark when previewing a single clip in the timeline editor, it had no business being there in the first place
- The icons in the Pro Tips now are much bigger. I like it better this way

In case you missed it -- and you might have because who reads this anyway -- OK Video got a huge new feature and a fresh new design! That new feature I like to call Timeline Editing and allows you to remove any clip in your composition, but also rearrange the clips to really mix it up. Just tap the timeline at the top of the screen or that scissors button next to it and get editing right away*! (*after a modest one-time purchase)
All the icons in the app got a brand new look (including the app icon, isn’t it cute?) and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Michael Shillingburg really did a stellar job

OK thanks for reading this, don’t forget I love you and please take out the thrash the next time you're leaving the house and also please be safe and think of others.

bye

Big changes in this one, hope you’re ready for ‘em!

• Timeline Editor
Tap the timeline or the edit button in the top of the screen to bring up the Timeline Editor. Here you can delete individual clips and even rearrange your whole composition. Yes, you can finally remove accidental shots! Or insert an extra shot in the beginning, or make same-person dialogs easier, or, or... so much possibilities!

• New design
The whole app got a fresh coat of paint and all icons (including the App Icon!) have been redesigned. Ain’t they cute?

• Flash
There’s now a new option in the menu that allows you to turn on the flash while recording. Real handy when it’s too dark to OK Video. It also works with the front-facing camera, no idea how we pulled that off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Pro Tips
When waiting for your video to export, you can now use this time to read up on some pro tips! For example, did you know that both the preview button and the OK button have a special function when you long-press them? There’s certainly some stuff you might not know already that’ll make your OK Video experience even better. If you didn’t have enough time to read these tips, you can always read all of them if you scroll down a bit in settings.

• Haptics
People with iOS 13 and up now get to feel every action (except during recording as that will mess with the recorded audio). Button presses and using the menu now got a whole lot more tactile.

Thank you for using OK Video! Please leave a review if you like this little app, it really helps. And make sure to tell all your friends!

Full boring list of changes:
- Added timeline editor with in-app purchase to rearrange and delete any clip
- Added flash mode, uses device’s flash during recording
- Now showing ‘pro tips’ during export and from settings
- Updated app icon, all fonts and button icons, and more subtle design changes
- Added haptics for buttons and menus on devices running iOS 13 and up
- Updated watermark, now showing logo and informative text
- Fixed issue where last clip sometimes introduces an echo
- When saving video, only permission to save is asked

Fully supporting iOS 14 (didn’t have to do anything at all, really)

Made some changes under the hood to prepare for an upcoming bigger update.
