We just got an email from the guys over at MacPhun, to let us know about a new iPhone and iPod Touch app they are launching later this week, it’s called Silent Film Director.
As the name suggests, the Silent Film Director app will let you make your videos look like ones from the Silent Era, and you will be able to customize a range of features in your movies.
Features of Silent Film Director
You will be able to edit your videos to make them look like silent movies, with a range of functions which include customizing the video speed, plus a range of video effects, soundtracks, and you can even add title cards and special transitions to your movies. The app offers various filters to give your videos that authentic vintage look, such as sepia tones, grainy textures, and black-and-white effects. Additionally, you can adjust the frame rate to mimic the choppy, fast-paced motion of early 20th-century films.
One of the standout features is the ability to add intertitles, those iconic text cards that appear between scenes in silent films. You can choose from different fonts and styles to match the aesthetic of your video. The app also includes a library of royalty-free music tracks that are perfect for setting the mood, whether you want a dramatic piano score or a lighthearted ragtime tune.
How to Use Silent Film Director
Using the Silent Film Director app is straightforward. After recording your video, you can import it into the app and start applying various effects. The user interface is intuitive, with easy-to-navigate menus and sliders for adjusting settings. You can preview your changes in real-time, making it simple to experiment with different looks until you achieve the desired effect.
For those who want to get creative, the app also allows you to splice together multiple clips, add fade-ins and fade-outs, and even insert special effects like film scratches and flickers. These features make it possible to create a polished, professional-looking silent film right from your mobile device.
Have a look at the video below to see the app in action.
