Bricolage - Video Toolkit

Bricolage 5.0 is awesome. With the addition of spatial stereo and workflow improvements, Bricolage remains my favorite app for image processing and compositing.

In the motion graphix app there is no apparent way to have a video layer as a moving object. This missing feature destroys my workflow. The bricollage app often loads videos upside down? No obvious node available to correct that issue, or to scale and reposition video layers. Overall I can make some fun but very glitchy animations.. thank you for you efforts.. I wish it was a more popular app so it would have more drive to get fixed.

Green screen remover doesn’t keep checker pattern, it just turns it black in the final product don’t waste your money on it

This app has many great tools for editing. However, it is loaded with bugs. Sometimes, when I create a new project, the video doesn’t even show, only a black screen. Sometimes the effects don’t even work and it crashes. The app is good when it works, but the constant bugs have to be stopped. Edit: The new update is good but source over using greenscreen remove and move rotate scale is messed up. When you try to scale a greenscreen video using source over, the area that is not part of the greenscreen video turns black and covers the background video. I have used this before without any problems, but it is giving me problems now. Please fix this.

This is really a unique application with a great functionality. I hope for updates with more parameters and building blocks for more variable image and video manipulation . I like also to see more generators such as bricks, viens,.... so that this application will be able to produce textures and materials like a dream!! Thanks alot

This app exports videos with one less frame per second then the original video sources. I’ve tried both 24 (23.98) fps and 30 (29.97) fps videos with 1080p resolution. Both videos were rendered at 23.00fps and 29.00fps), resulting in lots of skipping frames. There are other minor issues/bugs that needs some attention, however the above bug is a showstopper. Literally. iPad Pro 10.5” , latest iOS 12.2. This review and score will be edited as soon as this is taken care of. Dev: Please update me on any status for a fix. Thank you.

it’s 2019 and I only just found Bricolage and its add-ons. where have you been all my iPad life?! this app is unique in that you can infinitely (presumably) chain and rearrange video effects seamlessly instead of having to render and save a video for one effect just to use it in the next. and the rearrangement of effects is done by dragging and connecting/reconnecting node inputs and outputs to each other — by way of what I’d have called a GUI in 2002, though the term seems too clunky for this. it feels like I’ve been waiting for this app since 2002, back when I was using Max/MSP/Jitter on my MacBook. this reminds me of that in that it’s refreshing to use for its simplicity once you understand what’s happening. thank you for putting this out there. more people should find it and use it. my only suggestions so far are that I’d like to be able to see an effect’s description and number of inputs without first having to activate it on the “stage,” and also that it would be wonderful to be able to quickly swap out or cycle through each somehow by way of the secondary long-press gesture (the one that brings up the option to delete the node) instead of having to back to the long menu docked on the left — necessitating some sort of elegant inline solution I guess? I’m sure you’ll know it when you see it.

I cannot find any support! I edit video professionally with iOS software and I just discovered this the other day thru a recommendation... but I have never used node based compositing before, and while I have gotten the hang of it, and I am still so lost on so many aspects. YouTube has next to nothing as far as tutorials for video editing.. cannot find a used guide anywhere....

I didn't notice this app hasn't been updated in over a year before I made the purchase. It opens, but you can't create a new project, import video, or use "Open In" from other apps (Bricolage doesn't appear in the share menu in other apps). If you have updated to iOS 10+, don't buy this until the publisher issues an update. Right now it is useless.

This is an awesome app. I run it on both an iPad 2 and an iPhone 6 and it has never crashed. The interface is beautiful and the number of filters and effects is amazing. I'm surprised it doesn't have more ratings! Definitely worth the money, it does more than a lot of PC programs.
