Blog - Sprasia!
Sprasia!
I'm really happy to finally be able to talk about the great place I've been working at for half a year. It's a small company (but growing) called Sprasia offering a free service that allows editing videos from within your browser. I had been waiting to talk about it because it was only offered in Japanese, but this week we finally launched the English version.
The site lets you upload photos or videos, and then you can animate them and add effects on top. There's a powerful application called Effectunes that gives you full control, and there are also other more simple ones like Photoshuffle for making a special photo slideshow. It's a bit like a YouTube that lets you play some more. No videos to upload? No problem, you can even edit other people's shared videos!
Here's a quick montage that I made using a video of Kuidaore ningyō taken in Osaka in 2007. (This funny guy sadly disappeared last year after the shop where it stood closed.)
And here's a promo video that shows a little of what can be done at Sprasia.
If you sign up, be sure to become friends with me. :)
Oh, and you can even see me in my work environment on this Japanese IT site that came to interview us last month. :)

Nice post! I had never seen that promo video before. The links for Effectunes and Photoshuffle are broken though :-)

Oops, they're fixed now. :) I was a bit tired when I typed this.

Hi Patrick, I didn't know you left your previous employer! Congrats on escaping corporate life! I'm still preparing for my getaway :-(

Yeah, it's been half a year already. Time flies! Good luck for finding something nice. :)
