Magnet is the easiest way to customize your movies and share them with your friends. With advanced motion tracking, video compositions and special effects can be defined over the sequence, that evolves depending on the content of the movie.
Using Magnet, you are able attach a picture or animation to a movie (think of tatoo), to define a blur zone that will follow the eyes of a person, or even to emit particles from moving objects.
With Magnet, you can add special effects such as replacing your own head with a cat head. More generally, you can attach an image to moving objects in a video, or attach animation, particles, or black (or blur) zones or even custom Quartz Composer animations.
Just let your imagination go, and add glasses, a hat, a mask, some tatoos.
