VideoGrade

Just freezes on open screen Have contacted support but nothing back yet

DO NOT BUY. This app destroys my footage to the point it’s unusable. Ran a 1min clip through this and LumaFusion to compare and the results are worlds apart. This app is a disgrace. Pixelation, noise, muddy saturation. Utter rubbish.

Can rotate videos at any degree and apply any filter in existence with bit of understanding of all the features just the way I want it with no watermarkers. Fantastic

The best App in the world for brightening dark videos!

I came across VideoGrade while looking for a way to apply colour grading to the 4K video images I had filmed on my Mavic Pro. Of course, I could do this in Final Cut once I’m back home but I’m on a long trip with only my iPhone X for editing and I wanted to show the results to friends here. VideoGrade is easy to use and has many adjustments available. Contrary to a previous review, it can export the graded video in the original resolution (up to 4K), frame rate and compression. Needless to say, it’s easier to do colour grading on a bigger screen than an iPhone! Still VideoGrade offers the possibility to zoom in on specific parts of the frame to check the impact of the adjustments you are making. You can also split the frame in half, vertically or horizontally, to compare the look before and after the adjustment you are about to make. So thanks and congratulations to the developer. At the time of writing, the FAQ for the latest version is under construction but VideoGrade is intuitive enough and the extra trial and error allowed me to explore the grading results which each of the adjustments could achieve.

The previous version was simpler and better to use.

This is a great tool with a lot of adjustments (non subtle) that can help you achieve a look based on colors and intensity. The tool would be most useful if you could select key frames to make adjustments to and smoothly blend between the adjustments in key frames so as to tailor adjustments to suit footage where the lighting and exposures are changing in a way that is detrimental, or even for your own special effects. Either way, it is a very adept tool that is worth the price!

First things first, the good points: in short, this is the VSCO of video editing (until they release the alpha of theirs, anyway). The tools are quality, and the before/after overlays and live clipping analytics are truly helpful. However, if you're going to the effort to grade your footage – for example, after recording in Filmic Pro – you'll likely want to import and export the highest quality clips. Unfortunately, VideoGrade will only import from the camera roll, which means your video will already have had some compression applied. What's more, the save to iCloud Drive option on export doesn't work, meaning you can only save to the camera roll. The biggest issue though, is the bitrate capping. Regardless of your initial bitrate (and lots of video apps enable you to record at around 100Mbps), you can only export at 50Mbps. Consider how affected your pristine 4K 100Mbps footage will look after two rounds of compression and a 50% reduction in bitrate. All in all, this is a truly pro quality colour grading app, with import and export options not fit for purpose. I'm watching the next update with interest, because as soon as these issues are addressed, I'll be repurchasing the app and singing its total praises.

Great app with a variety of useful setting but was disappointed the noise reduction did not seem to have any effect on video or images ..

I get slight lip sync issues with clips processed in the very latest and last versions of VideoGrade. Also and perhaps related, despite recording at 25fps VideoGrade tells me I can only save the clip at 24fps - shooting with Filmic Pro 5 on iPhone 5s with latest IOS 10 version. Not much good for me.
