SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc.
(NASDAQ:GPRO) today announced agreements to acquire two leading
mobile video editing apps Replay and Splice. Merging Replay and
Splice into GoPro's mobile strategy accelerates GoPro's ability to
deliver ultra-convenient, yet powerful, mobile editing solutions to
GoPro customers and billions of smartphone users.
Replay, developed by Stupeflix in Paris, France, is an award-winning app that
allows users to quickly select video clips and photos and
automatically combines them into a single video complete with
transition effects, graphics, and synchronized music. Splice,
developed by Vemory in Austin,
Texas, is an award-winning mobile editor that allows users
to manually create customized edits with advanced features normally
found on desktop editing applications, but with the speed and
efficiency of a mobile app interface.
"Splice, Replay and GoPro will combine to deliver what we
believe will be the fastest and most enjoyable mobile editing
experience," said Nicholas Woodman,
founder and CEO of GoPro. "We believe the accessibility, speed and
efficiency of mobile will make it the predominant editing platform
of the future."
Both apps are currently available on iOS with Android releases
planned for later this year. Both teams will maintain operations in
their current locations, Paris and
Austin.
Upcoming Events
Management will participate in the
Morgan Stanley Investor Conference on March
2, 2016 in San
Francisco.
