Transform your videos into comics by Google

#4 Product of the DayDecember 12, 2017

Storyboard, takes video clips and automatically pulls out six frames which it lays out in a comic book-style template. You’ll be able to refresh the app to get new layouts and frames, with Google claiming that there are over 1.6 trillion combinations.

Introducing Appsperiments: Exploring the Potentials of Mobile PhotographyEach of the world's approximately two billion smartphone owners is carrying a camera capable of capturing photos and video of a tonal richness and quality unimaginable even five years ago. Until recently, those cameras behaved mostly as optical sensors, capturing light and operating on the resulting image's pixels.
Google just launched three new photography appsGoogle just announced three new photography applications: Storyboard ( Android only), Selfissimo! ( iOS and Android), and Scrubbies ( iOS only). The releases are part of a new "appsperiments " program that Google just launched.

    Pros: 

    Awesome filters / illustration styles and great choice of layouts

    Cons: 

    In-App navigation is a little too simple.

    Awesome app, visibly early stage since we're missing (in my opinion) the possibility to shoot a video straight from the app (vs importing one), and the possibility to navigate clearly among styles & layouts (that bit is particularly unclear).

    Pros: 

    Very nice effects

    Cons: 

    It crashes all the time or don't save the pic that you want

    It is very cool and it seems like a beta product, so it's need some tweaks and adjusts

@paulodef true - could've easily plugged in their DialogFlow product and generated some bubbles for each strip based on voice/typed sentence

It's been awhile since I've seen an Android first release but I guess it makes sense. 😜

This actually a fantastically cool concept. There's no clear way to share your comic strip, and apparently no save mechanism either. I'm not judging, it's a new app, but it did a pretty good job of taking a boring video and throwing it into a comic. I think navigation could use an improvement though.
