Using what VSCO describes as a freeform interface that favors gesture controls, those layers can be arranged in any number of ways, or layered on top of each other and blended with an opacity tool. Montage has the layers of a high-end photo editor, allowing users to layer photos and videos on top of each other. Canvases can be square, vertical, or horizontal. Creatives start with a blank canvas, instead of stitching videos together on a timeline, then layer in photos, videos, and shapes to different scenes. The VSCO tool feels more like a love child between Photoshop, iMovie, and PowerPoint than a standard video editor. While the result is a video file, Montage is of a mashup of several different types of apps. Announced on Wednesday, March 4, Montage is an open-ended multimedia tool that allows creatives to mix photos and videos together inside VSCO, a popular photo and video editing app. VSCO has a new video editing tool - except Montage isn’t exactly a video editor, or a photo editor, or anything that fits neatly into a predefined box.
