GoPro Quik features

The most prominent feature that GoPro Quik app offers is the Mural feed. It is a private feed within the app that allows users to keep their favourite images and videos at one place to allow convenient sharing. Users can add photos and videos to Mural feed even if they are not taken from a GoPro camera. In other words, Quik app can be used with any regular smartphone.

If a user shares multiple photos or videos at once to Quik, the files will be grouped together as an ‘event’ and the app will compile them to make a short video with music. This video can be edited as per the user’s choice. Speaking of editing, the refreshed app now features a suite of powerful tools to adjust exposure, contrast, colour, vibrancy, multi-clip video editing, add text, stickers and more.

Other Quik app features include a list of new GoPro original music that offers royalty-free tracks curated by the company that can be used in videos. There is a new Video Speed Tool that allows users to add super slo-mo and freeze frame segments at multiple points within a single video clip. There are new filters, video edit themes, and Frame Grabbing feature to extract photo still images from videos.
