The Stupeflix API, a unique, open platform to integrate video creation into web and mobile applications releases a new and self-serve commercial offering removing the need for contracts or negotiation, while dramatically reducing prices.

Here’s the deal we have for you: If you make a Free video and get 5 Likes for it (the Facebook kind of Like), we’ll offer a free upgrade to 360p for your video.

This new feature, available in the Outline theme, lets you set manually the key part of your photo, to make sure it won’t be cropped out of your video. Once you’ve set the important point in your photo, it will be shown in your video with a gentle pan and zoom effect (aka Kenburns) centered around that key point.

Video trimming has been one of our most requested features. Now, when you upload a video into Stupeflix, you can trim it to start and stop exactly when you want it to.
