Create Interesting Confetti Filled Videos With Clips 3.1

Clips in iOS 14.5 now supports better “party” effects that can be used to make your personal video messages, quick social videos and school projects a little more interesting. Through the use of the new AR Spaces within Clips, users with an iPhone 12 Pro or iPad Pro models, can use the device’s LiDAR sensors to map the room and add new visual effects.

The use of this depth sensing technology, enables the supported Apple device to measure light distance and uses pixel depth information of a scene. This allows it to create an accurate and “believable” effects overlay over your recorded content. Clips 3.1 can now scan a room, then let users see preview effects of dynamic lighting, falling objects and immersive scenes.

Said effects appear on walls, floors, surfaces, furniture and objects. Here’s what can be added to your videos with the new feature:

• Confetti: Celebratory bursts of confetti fall and accumulate on flat surfaces.
• Disco: Shining lights reflect off the disco ball that hangs from the ceiling of the space.
• Dance Floor: Colorful tiles of light dance in patterns across the floor.
• Sparkles: Golden sparkle emoji and white glitter fill the space.
• Stardust: Magical trails of starlight encircle and follow a person in the video.
• Hearts: Floating heart balloons bubble up within the space.

Clips utilizes AR segmentation and occlusion to recognize people in a video, then applies AR effects in front and behind them to make the scene seem real. Said feature (AR Spaces), can be combined with all of the animated stickers, text labels, and emoji overlays to produce interesting content. The effects can be recorded in all aspect ratios.

In addition to this, there will be monthly updates for creative content within Clips. This includes regular updates to the Clips library of filters, Live Titles, text, stickers, and posters related to seasonal events and cultural trends.
