Name: V.I.K.T.O.R.

Quick Pitch: V.I.K.T.O.R. is an auto­mat­ic video-editing app.

Genius Idea: The free iPhone app makes movie mak­ing and shar­ing mobile clips quick and easy.

Built-in cam­eras on smart­phone and tablet devices make it easy to record videos of expe­ri­ences any­where we go. But how often do we go back to watch these videos or share them?

V.I.K.T.O.R., an auto­mat­ic video-editing app, pro­vides a sim­ple and con­ve­nient way to cut and edit video clips and turn them into short movies. The app allows users to make short movies — either 20 sec­onds, one minute or two min­utes long — that actu­al­ly look pro­fes­sion­al­ly edit­ed. For now, it's free to cre­ate a movie, but in the future, the com­pa­ny plans to charge $0.99 for 1-minute movies and $1.99 for two-minute movies.

"We all have spe­cial moments that we want to remember," Evge­nia Bog­danovich, co-founder of V.I.K.T.O.R., told Mash­able. "This video edit­ing app offers a way to rec­ol­lect your mem­o­ries and turn them into a video pre­sen­ta­tion that feels emo­tion­al and looks professional."

Devel­oped in June, the idea of V.I.K.T.O.R. was inspired while two of the four co-founders of the app were trav­el­ing in Hong Kong. Sergey Nur­mamed and Alexan­der Didenko saw tourists tak­ing pic­tures and record­ing videos with their phones, and won­dered how often peo­ple actu­al­ly go back and look at these mem­o­ries. When Nur­mamed and Didenko returned to Rus­sia, the V.I.K.T.O.R. team decid­ed to cre­ate an automatic-editing app to make it eas­i­er for peo­ple to cre­ate movies from their expe­ri­ences and share them with friends and fam­i­ly.

To start mak­ing mini-movies, down­load the app onto an iPhone and choose one of the fol­low­ing video-editing options:

Auto­mat­ic: The app ran­dom­ly choos­es video footage from your phone.

Semi­au­to­mat­ic: Users man­u­al­ly select videos.

Con­trolled: Gives users more con­trol by allow­ing them to sort their videos by dif­fer­ent sec­tions and shots

After you select an option, users can also add in their own themes and sound­tracks. Browse the list of cat­e­gories (trav­els, sports, fam­i­ly, events, lifestyle or moods) and select a theme that suits your movie. Then cre­ate a movie title and select the mobile clips that you want to include........
