The release of the Quik desktop application for macOS by GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) introduces a new dimension to its content creation toolkit. By bridging the gap between mobile and desktop environments, Quik allows users to begin projects on one device and complete them on another. The app includes features like beat sync, which aligns edits with the soundtrack’s rhythm, and an auto highlight editing feature for effortless, professional-grade results.
Nicholas Woodman, GoPro Founder and CEO, emphasized the app’s broad appeal, stating, “Our new Quik desktop app syncs with our mobile app and cloud, making GoPro the ultimate content creation solution for beginners and advanced creators alike.” He highlighted the auto-editing feature as a convenient entry point for new creators, while also pointing to the potential for enhanced capabilities through ongoing developments in AI and computer vision.
The Quik subscription is available to both GoPro and non-GoPro users, offering unlimited access to the app’s editing tools, auto edits, filters, and a vast library of music tracks. With a price of INR 499 per year or INR 99 per month, the subscription aims to provide a comprehensive video editing solution for mobile content.
As GoPro continues to expand its software offerings, the introduction of Quik for macOS (and soon for Windows) represents a significant step forward in making advanced content creation tools accessible to a wider audience.
