Movie Creator Beta gets 4K video input support, OneDrive integration and more

Back in November, Microsoft Mobile released Moving-picture show Creator exclusively for Lumia Windows Phones and the Surface. Since that fourth dimension, nosotros have non seen too much in the mode of updates or new features, merely that changes today.

The latest version is at present live in the Store for Lumia Windows Phones (distressing, HTC I owners) and those with a Surface Pro device (simply not a Surface 3, ironically). Here is what is new.

Back up for 4K video input with max 1080p output (on supported device models)
Select photos and videos from OneDrive
Change video speed
Change explanation & title font family / size / position
Miscellaneous bug fixes

The biggest addition here is, of course, the ability for the app to apply 4K videos. Granted, it volition not output those videos as 4K. Instead, it downscales them to 1080p, which should be fine for most uses.

The OneDrive integration is superb, every bit it allows yous to edit and create new movie montages with video stored in the cloud. Likewise, you still go the ability to use 'Cinemagraphs and more than' to complete the supported media of this app.

Additionally, the Surface version of Moving-picture show Creator besides received an update, although it is a lot less interesting.

Small improvements

However, we should note that the Surface version also had OneDrive integration, and it seems to be on the same level as the version for Lumias.
