How to Use an App?
Your Videos
In ‘Your Videos’ option, all the videos are available that users have made with this application. When you start an application, you will land on the screen on the left. When you open an application, you will land on “photos” option.
Make My Movie
You have already created a slideshow when you are here. Now, click on “make my movie”. The app processes the video and uploads it to our back-end. After that, you will reach to “your videos” page.
These saved videos need to be hosted on a server. If you click on a video, it takes you to the next screen (share and save). The user won’t be able to edit his video once it’s been created.
Add Sound and Music
Users can add music from given “music library”. There’s 8 moods on audioblocks. Users can integrate 5 free sound tracks per mood. Users can also add paid tracks that have a little star on. A search bar is also added to find the sound tracks.
Interestingly, users can have voice recording option to add in the video. Users can add several voice on the same video and can also edit sound by recording another voice.
Media Time
Before picking the media, users can see how long the movies are (see “2:18”). If users try to edit the video, it should open the video editor.
20+ transition in video
Add 20+ different transitions when creating a video. A video or a slide a transition is an effect that happens between each photo, slide, or video clip. For example, a fade transition can be used to fade in or out of each picture in a slide show.
20+ Effects in Video
Give any effect to your video from 20+ different given effects to make it more appealing.
For e.g. you can keep video simple by clicking to None, or can change to Monochrome, Noir, Vignette, Softlight, etc.

Users can add different types of font to their videos. Text type, size, colors are changeable. It is also rotatable.
Share Socially
Once you click on a video, you will land on this screen. When you click on one of the sharing function (like share to instagram), you’re prompted to sign in via facebook / gmail /email. That way they create an account and can have access to the videos anywhere.
If you click on ‘save’ option, you will reach to the “sales page”.

Even if, users have a free version of the app: they can have access to the videos online (up to 5gb).

Appreciation from Clients
Space-O helped to design the app in a very user-friendly way. They helped us to navigate solutions for the app.
I would like to thank the entire Space-O team for helping us with our photo editing app. We have been working with other developing teams before, and we were able to find Space-O. And all the other developers failed to deliver all great working apps for us. Space-O helped to design the app in a very user-friendly way. They helped us to navigate solutions for the app. And overall went above and beyond with our request.

They were highly recommended to me by my mentor and I am so glad that I chose to work with them.
This was the first app I’ve ever developed and they been extremely helpful every step of the way, answering questions, writing recommendations, and tips. If you’re looking for a high-quality app, definitely go with Space-O technologies.

We were all quite demanding in terms of quality, but Space-O has managed to go beyond, to fulfill our expectations.
When we started 2 years ago, the main struggle was to find the right developing team, because the problem was we were all quite demanding in terms of quality. And, this showed that we were able to develop some successful apps. But, this would not have been possible without Space-O.

The Space-O team were great to work with. Every part of the process went as per the agreed schedule, and the finished prototype met, and in most cases, exceeded my expectations. While Space-O wasn’t the most price competitive of the quotes I received, the quality of their work, professionalism, and product, was well worth the additional cost. Highly recommend, and will continue to use their services for future projects.

They performed in all aspects excellently. They have given well-appreciated discounts at various stages of the project and also with suggestions that saved cost. When it comes to delivering, they were always ahead of time. We don’t know how they do that but that’s very impressive. Their agility and customer support is on a different level, well appreciated.
