In the three years since Breeze for iPad was launched, the app has matured into our most powerful photo booth software.
I’m delighted to share with you that Steve has given the iPad homepage a much needed update to reflect the incredible features which have been added along the way.
A huge thank you to Steve for producing this gorgeous page and generously sharing many of the images it includes, such as the example of blend modes at the top of this post.
Breeze Booth 3 and 3.1 add revolutionary video features: 360 Auto Start, locally processed AI Background Removal, Key Framing, Slow Motion and the industry’s most powerful video timeline editor.
In the video booth section of the new page, he includes samples demonstrating some of these effects. To download these video booth events to your own device:
Scan the Video Samples QR code directly into the Breeze Booth app
Note: Videos, slow motion and background removal requiring live view run much better on powerful devices. We strongly recommend using fast recent iPads or iPhones these events. At the time of writing recommended devices include the 2021 iPad Pro, 2022 iPad Air or 2022 iPhone SE.
Scanning this code will replace all events currently loaded into the app with six sample video events. To restore previous events, see below
It may take a little time to download all the events so please be patient.
