Highlight Hunter (www.highlighthunter.com) is a new free app for Mac and PC that reduces video editing time from hours to minutes.
Noah Spitzer-Williams, CEO of Highlight Hunter, says, “Up until now, video editing was time consuming and tedious because it took so long to find the highlights. Now, Highlight Hunter solves this problem in a super simple way. As you record your adventures, you can bookmark the highlights by covering the camera lens for 1 second when the highlight is over. When you get home, open Highlight Hunter on your Mac or PC, load in your videos, and in a few minutes the app will create a 30 second highlight clip for each bookmarked moment.”
It works with any video camera and it greatly simplifies video editing and sharing for consumers. The Beta version has been out for about a year, and users are thrilled with the results.
Jim Stringfellow, an action sports product developer, says, “As a video editor, I see this software as a game changer for any action sports video enthusiasts. The results will save the editor hours of time, allowing the videographer to capture more, ride more, and spend less time in a chair sifting through hours of footage.”
Capturing video is easy on GoPro and Contour sports cameras, digital camcorders, and Flip cameras, but sifting through hours of video footage for the highlights is a daunting task. Highlight Hunter cuts video editing time down by over 80%, making it easier than ever to share quality highlights on YouTube and Facebook.
In addition to outdoor enthusiasts, Highlight Hunter has been embraced by many others. Exciting and unexpected moments happen all the time ”” a child’s first steps, soccer games, school plays, the list goes on and on. With Highlight Hunter, sharing highlights is quick and easy, and users will spend more time creating highlights and less time searching for them.
