Dear Spotliter fans – Happy New Year! A new version of Spotliter (v1.2) was recently released to address issues related to iOS9 that were preventing users from recording video and capturing photos. We are happy to inform you that Spotliter’s unique photo and video effects are available again for you to capture some amazing photos and videos with your iPhones.
all the best!

Hello all – Spotliter photos now on Instagram! We’ve added a number of photos taken using Spotliter and different touch effects to our new Instagram account at http://instagram.com/spotliter.
Please check it out and also tag your Spotliter photos and videos on Instagram with #Spotliter and the touch effect you used, e.g. #OVERLAY, so that we can see and like your amazing photos and videos too.
A few days ago, we posted some cool looking photos taken in NYC using the SKETCH touch effect. But SKETCH also works amazingly well when you use it to record video and capture things which are moving all around you. Check out this video of the same NYC streets using SKETCH. A friend told us that it reminded her of that Aha music video from a generation ago (Take on me)! Check it out – it’s only 10 seconds.
Recording this is about as simple as you get – Just start Spotliter, go into video capture mode, select SKETCH and move your finger on the screen to see what part of the screen you want in SKETCH mode and what part you want to record “unfiltered.” Start recording. That’s it. You can even move your finger around on the screen while recording to change the sketch area.
It was warm outside for the first time in a while here in midtown Manhattan – so started walking around taking pictures with Spotliter and really got into the SKETCH touch effect for some reason. Just slide or tap your finger on what you want to look “real” and snap your photo. Pretty simple.
Hi Everyone! We are very excited to announce that we have launched a major new update, Spotliter version 1.1. Get it now.
What’s new?
PHOTOS! The app now allows users to use all those great touch effects to take photos in addition to recording video. Don’t worry though – the app is just as simple and clutter free as before. We’ve added just one button to the screen that you tap to switch between photo and video modes.
New Touch Effects! There are now 15 touch effects that you can use in photo mode and 15 you can use in video mode. We love the new effects and hope you will too. They include JUXTAPOSE, HORIZON, DOTS, CHIAROSCURO (replacing VINTAGE) all of which work for photo and video and SANDPAINT which is for photos only.
Our personal favorites of the new effects are HORIZON and JUXTAPOSE, followed closely by CHIAROSCURO, all of which work great for photos and videos. The first two also allow you to make some pretty freaky-looking photos or video plus photo mashups. We also found that most of the original touch effects look great for photos, especially B&W2COLOR, POSTERIZE, FREEZE and OVERLAY.
Improvements. Many enhancements have been made to existing effects to make them and the captured photos and videos richer and clearer, more responsive to touch and offering more options for manipulating effects.
Removed. UNCOVER and VINTAGE effects have been removed.
We hope you will enjoying using this new version as much as we do. We would love to see and feature the Spotliter photos and videos you make so please tag them with #spotliter when you share them on your favorite sites and social networks.

Instagram has cult status now. But an app that gives similar filters for video has not yet made it big. But we suspect things could change with the launch of the new Spotliter app, created by US-based netomat.
The free app, available only on iOS for the moment, allows users to add filters to their videos and also highlight, or spotlight as they would like to call it, certain parts of the frame. There is a very good magnify filter which lets the user blow up any specific part of the frame. The size of the spot can easily be increased or reduced by pinching on the touch screen.
So, what was the inspiration behind the app? Netomat CEO and co-founder Kris Ramanathan says the goal was to make it easy for average, everyday users to create beautiful videos with professional looking effects. “The netomat team, in particular our Chief Scientist and Co-Founder Maciej Wisniewski, has been developing innovation in image and video processing and effects for several years now,” says Kris, who has nearly a decade’s experience building and delivering mobile products.

Spotliter for iPhone applies fun effects and filters to videos while recording
By Les Shu — December 7, 2013
Smartphones aren’t just useful for casual photos, but they’re adept at shooting videos too. However, unlike filters and special effects you can add while taking photos, the options have been fairly limited while recording video. A new free iOS app from Netomat called Spotliter, however, lets you apply “touch effects and filters” to your videos.
Made for iPhone and iPod Touch, users can magnify a portion of a scene, freeze a part of the video, switch between front and back cameras, overlay an image on top of a video, turn an object from black and white to color, and add other effects, all by pinching, tapping, swiping, or sliding your fingers on the screen during recording.

Spotliter è un’applicazione che consente di applicare effetti live ai video registrati tramite iPhone.
Con questa applicazione è possibile sfruttare il touchscreen per inserire gli effetti disponibili, modificarli, cancellarli o passare dalla fotocamera posteriore a quella anteriore durante la registrazione. E’ anche possibile mettere in pausa la registrazione e riprenderla nello stesso video.Gli effetti disponibili sono 12 e molto variegati, adatti per le diverse occasioni (dallo sport ai video “romantici”).
Insomma, con Spotliter potete iniziare a registrare un video, applicare due effetti, passare dalla fotocamera posteriore a quella anteriore, mettere in pausa, riprendere la registrazione e applicare un altro effetto. Read more
