The company, with $1 million in seed funding, has created an app that lets users upload HD video and then tap the perfect moments to pull HD videos.
Users can upload content from Dropbox and save it to their phones before digging into the app, or pull from videos taken directly on the phone by tapping into the Camera Roll. From there, simply tap to turn a moving image into a single photo, and then share those photos to various social networks like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
The most common users of the app (while it’s been in beta) are surfers, snowboarders and other extreme sports enthusiasts who love to capture footage with their GoPros, but don’t want to share hours’ worth of footage.
“The biggest challenge is getting people to remember they don’t need to always choose between recording a video or taking a photo,” said co-founder Dustin Pourbaba.
