HighlightCam edits video, automatically!
Founded in 2009, HighlightCam is a YC-alum & 500Startups-funded company bent on taking over the world, one movie at a time. HighlightCam is revolutionizing how users create (and share) movies with a powerful mobile and desktop video-editing platform that takes your favorite videos & pictures & produces professional-quality movies. Now, your most important memories can be automatically transformed into meaningful video snapshots. HighlightCam is based out of Mountain View, CA.
HighlightCam is a mobile app that records a continuous 15-second loop and lets users save and share a highlight video from before a notable moment. It integrates social sharing and local saving, targeting sports-related use through its app and associated SportyNews.nz platform.
The app continuously stores the last 15 seconds of video on the phone. When a highlight occurs, the user taps a button to automatically save a video comprising the previous 15 seconds, creating an instant highlight reel. Highlights can be shared to social networks or saved to the camera roll; videos tagged as worth saving can post to SportyNews.co.nz. It supports rotating the device to automatically activate recording and watching, and offers in-app management and personalization features for highlights.
Who it’s for: Sports clubs and schools (New Zealand) and individuals using mobile sports highlight capture and sharing.
