Above we see the screen we accessed the first time we entered the application. After logging into this platform, we will always access the "FRIENDS" screen where it will show us the compositions that our friends have created in QLIPSY.
As we see on the screen, at the bottom we have four buttons with which we can:
- FRIENDS : Place where we can see the creations of the people we follow. It is also the door to log in to the platform through our INSTAGRAM or FACEBOOK account.
- EXPLORE : We will be able to explore compositions from thousands of QLIPSY users. In this menu we have a search engine at the top with which we can refine the searches we want to perform. By clicking on any of the videos we will start playing them and we will be able to interact with them by sharing them, commenting on them, issuing a "like"
- CREATE : From here we can create our Instagram or Facebook photo slideshow, depending on whether we have logged in. The ideal is to log in through your Instagram account .
- PROFILE : We access our profile where we will see our creations and we can configure some app options by clicking on the "SETTINGS" button that appears at the top right of the screen. screen. We will also be able to promote our videos and invite our Instagram friends to use this new platform.
HOW TO CREATE A PRESENTATION WITH INSTAGRAM PHOTOS:
To make a presentation with photos from Instagram or Facebook, we must first press the option on the lower menu called "CREATE" (see previous image of the "CREATE" menu).
We will select the social network we want to access to see the photographs published on it. In our case, we click on Instagram .
As you can see, the list appears with all the photos published on this social network. Now our task is to select the snapshots that we want to include in the video presentation.
Once selected, if we want to see the ones we have chosen, click on the « SELECT » button that appears in green at the bottom right of the selection screen.It will have a bluish globe that will indicate the number of selected photographs. If we agree with the selection, click on the "NEXT" button that appears at the top right of the screen and once this button is clicked, the following screen will appear:
In it we must put the name of the video presentation that we are going to compose and we can, using the new menu that appears at the bottom, enter it:
- EFFECTS : We will add the transition effects of the snapshots and the speed with which they will be produced.
- MUSIC : We can embed any of the songs that appear in the list that will appear in the video, divided by musical categories.
- TEXT : We will have the opportunity to enter text to each of the photographs and the HASHTAGS to the composition that we create.
- PREVIEW : We will be able to preview the created presentation, before publishing it.
Once we are satisfied with the story created, we will press the "PUBLISH" button, located in the upper right part of the screen and the platforms on which we want to publish it will appear.
After this it's time to wait to receive visits and « LIKES » from the people who watch our video with the photos from I nstagram , that we have created.
CONCLUSION:
We think it's a very good bet from its developers. Creating stories with photos from Instagram or Facebook and sharing them with QLIPSY users is an idea that we like.
Also, it's a new way to take advantage of those magnificent photos that you will surely have published.
One thing that we didn't like too much is that when publishing a presentation and viewing it, at the beginning we have to watch a small QLIPSY video.
