Mache
Mache is a fully featured template editor app for creating beautiful and engaging stories built from scratch. With careful attention to detail and multiple revisions, Mache presented a much easier to use and intuitive interface compared to the competition.
While Mache, as well as other apps, supported moving around text and adding images to pre-designated spots, one of the most requested features from our users was the ability to move anything anywhere. A new layer system was created that not only allowed for this to be possible, but also for dynamic resizing to support various aspect ratios as well as support for importing and exporting new customized templates.
Mache Film
Mache Film is an addition to the Mache Editing Suite to add various effects primarily to videos, but also photos. You’ve probably seen videos on your social media feed that have a generic vintage filter applied. This didn’t cut it for us. By analyzing authentic film footage, Mache Film was able to create a much more authentic look while also appealing to the mainstream.
Mache Film uses iOS’s Core Image Framework and custom kernel code to produce these effects. A unique algorithm was also developed to extract data from portrait mode images to convert them from 2D images to 3D animated videos.

Floment
Floment was an app for animating static photos to bring them to life by adding motion to elements such as water and skies. By adding motion vectors and anchor points to animate areas of interest, the app was able to determine how pixels should be shifted. Careful consideration between the CPU and GPU were utilized to optimize loads and minimize buffers for real-time performance.
