GoPro’s Quik video editing app to be part of Huawei’s P10 & P10 plus smartphones

GoPro has announced a partnership with Huawei Group according to which GoPro’s Quik mobile video editing app will come integrated within the photo Gallery on devices based on Huawei EMUI 5.1 version, including the new Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus smartphones.

Quik makes it simple to create stunning videos in seconds. Quik analyses your photos and video clips to find the best moments and automatically generates a video complete with transitions and effects synchronized to the beat of the included songs or your own songs. Users who want more control can then customize their edits with slow motion effects, filters and more.

During a keynote at Mobile World Congress Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, highlighted how GoPro’s Quik app will be integrated into the phone’s photo gallery, enabling users to launch Quik from the gallery itself.

“The Quik app transforms your smartphone photos and videos into amazing edits with the press of a button,” said GoPro Founder and CEO, Nick Woodman. “We’re excited to partner with Huawei to bring GoPro’s Quik app to Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus devices, amongst others, providing them with a quick and easy way to share compelling stories on-the-go,” he added.

Interestingly, GoPro’s Quik app is also integrated into the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus’ photo gallery to make Quik easily discoverable and convenient for users. The device’s photo gallery uses a new feature called “Highlights” which automatically selects photos and videos for the user. Then with a tap of the button, Quik generates a video synchronized to the beat of the selected music. From there, the user can share the video or further customize it with additional filters, transitions, effects and more.

Early in the day, GoPro also announced new versions of its mobile apps Capture and Quik, that provide a streamlined experience for creating improved video content. The new version of Quik makes creating videos fun with new functionality that streamlines the video editing experience while giving users tools to make compelling and unique videos in just a few taps.

In addition to GoPro photos and videos, Quik also allows users to create edits from videos and photos that were taken with their mobile device. And with Quik’s “For You” feature, a video is automatically created for the user every week, making it even easier to share their experiences with friends and family.
