We are very excited to announce a major update to our Qik VideoCamera app in the Apple App Store. Not only did we make some significant quality improvements (like recording videos with 15 frames per second), but we have also included some cool effects that enable you to personalize the video you are taking. You can even have some fun turning your friends into a Na’vi from the planet Pandora like in the movie Avatar!

Make a statement with your videos by applying some amazing effects in real-time as you record the video.
