Aquafadas introduces SnapFlow 1.0, a powerful image studio for your videos

Turn your videos into a unique source of high-quality pictures!

Aquafadas is happy to announce the immediate availability of SnapFlow 1.0, the new image studio software for your videos. SnapFlow brings an efficient workflow to select and process snapshots from videos.

SnapFlow 1.0 is an innovative software to select great shots from any video files (HD, SD, Quicktime, MPEG, AVCHD), compare similar shots, enhance images, and deinterlace in super high quality.

With its easy-to-use interface, the user of SnapFlow can:
- select the best shots and collect them in albums including smart albums,
- apply pre-defined image enhancing workflows (image filters),
- generate documents such as DVD covers,
- export the best shots in bulk, in any image format, with optional metadata,
- organize videos and their associated images into projects.

SnapFlow comes with some pre-defined workflows that let you create DVD covers for your video material. You can create and save your own models. SnapFlow 1.0 understands all Quicktime formats including the HD formats used by professionals.

SnapFlow is the result of a collaboration with photojournalists as well as video professionnals who manipulate digital stills extracted from raw HD footage on a regular basis. SnapFlow both simplifies the selection process and bulk export, while organizing all the media in a very flexible Project.
