Live video clipping app for iOS – Grabyo product update
Today we’re announcing a few key updates for the Grabyo live video clipping app for iOS which brings the experience closer to our main Studio product and provides users with a seamless, integrated service with greater control and flexibility. These updates have been driven because you have told us that you want:
- A mechanism to check / approve content and clips before they are shared to social accounts
- Better visibility of what content is shared within and across your organisation and teams
- A simpler process for influencers to share your content and drive better reach and engagement
- Faster, more seamless clip sharing to Instagram (a key content platform for video)
At Grabyo we are passionate about empowering people to create engaging video content whenever they want and wherever they are. Since April 2015, when we launched our iOS app, we’ve been working hard on making it everything you need it to be.
So now, in response to your feedback, our latest update for iOS users includes seven updates and new features:
- Direct export to Instagram
- Clip download (from your Grabyo feed to your phone)
- Pinch to zoom (when shooting videos using the app)
- Moderation user access / login (check, moderate and share content from your team)
- Edit existing clip meta-data and descriptions
- Add/remove social accounts (for mobile studio accounts)
- Advanced clip options for Facebook videos (using the latest FB video APIs)
Whilst our knowledge base will bring you up to speed on how to put each update to use, let me take you through some of the key changes…
Moderator Log-In
Q. What is better than someone capturing engaging content on-the-ground live from the action?
A. Multiple people capturing content on-the-ground live from the action.
With Grabyo, our app allows numerous people to collaborate on the content they share to social media channels. Now, you can log-in as a moderator direct from your Apple device and publish videos created by your team, both clips shot via the Grabyo app or saved from a live stream using Grabyo Studio, directly to your social media channels. This allows the flexibility for multiple users to create content on the go, whilst offering the control and moderation needed to ensure content is on-message and tells the right story to your fans.
This includes all of the features you’ll see in the desktop version – change your creative set and edit the description before sharing to millions.
Export to Instagram
Instagram isn’t just for beautiful photos, it’s for beautiful videos too. Now, with Grabyo, you can export any of your videos to Instagram in two clicks giving you another platform, and community, to share your content with.
Click the three vertical dots in the top right of your clip then select ‘export to Instagram’ from the drop-down menu – it’s that easy.
Instagram has more than 400 million users – go out and impress them today.
Edit Existing Clips
If you’re a moderator for your Grabyo account, you’ll be able to head into the app and edit the title, description and social message for any existing clip within a campaign.
This leaves you free to let content creators capture the content, but keeps the control with you for telling the story on your social media channels.
Pinch to Zoom
Whilst the Grabyo app allows you to get up close and personal with the action, sometimes it’s just not close enough. That’s why we’re introducing zoom for video recording.
With a pinch gesture on your screen, you can bring up the zoom bar. From there, use an outward spread gesture to zoom in up to 5x, or use a pinch gesture to zoom out. Simple.
