    Project MOVIEFY

    • Moviefy App

      We read books because we want a story. We watch movies because we want a story. We watch the news because... yep, stories. Videos are about stories, but while everyone has a story to tell, not everyone is a good story-teller. Making interesting videos is a complicated process that requires complex video editing software and specialized editing skills.

    • Our Vision

      Everyone has a story to tell, our vision to bring out the story teller in everyone. We want to achieve this by giving the power of movie making in the hands of regular people.

    • Our Values

      We believe in simplicity | We believe in innovations that expand the frontiers of how people express themselves | We don’t attempt anything that we can’t excel at | We believe that true courage is to admit out mistakes and making efforts to change | We believe that our people are our greatest resources | We believe that our customers are our biggest priority

    • Solution

      Movies are the epitome of storytelling. We want to give this power to the regular user. Our application allows regular users to 'Moviefy' their videos. Users can select a type of genre such as 'Comedy', 'Drama', 'Romance' or 'Horror' and the context-aware algorithm in 'Moviefy' automatically detects and removes unwanted scenes, adds music – sound - color effects – transitions – special effects and changes the pace of the video to create 'movie trailer'-like footage from the regular video.

    • Mission

      Our mission is simple: To help people express their stories and emotions in their videos. We plan to achieve this through products that allow users to convert their regular videos into beautiful movie-like videos that capture their passion and emotions.


    • Engine

      Moviefy has been created by a team comprising of accomplished professionals in movie production, mobile and internet software technology and artificial intelligence who have come together to share their passion for movies, technology and storytelling

    Magisto on GoogleDrive

    Magisto’s dead-simple automatic video editing service is no stranger to Google’s ecosystem. It was integrated with YouTube’s Create tool just under a year ago, and the Magisto Android app just hit the Google Play Store in August. The trend shows no sign of slowing down. Today Magisto has revealed that it has linked up with Google Drive to provide editor-less editing for videos stored in Google’s cloud.
