The application utilizes artificial intelligence for analyzing your videos and editing them. The whole process in Magisto is really simple because you have to follow only three steps. First of all, you have to choose the video clips you want to include from your phone. The next step is to choose a soundtrack, which can also be done from the included music library (one that’s surprisingly good). The application has license for all music genres and well-known singers. The next step is to press the button “Make my movie” and the video clips are uploaded on the Magisto server, where the magic happens.

For example, you are able to choose the number of frames which you want to shoot the movie (12, 18, 24), you can switch on or off the flash, choose the film stock or add effects. The slower the frame rate is, the more intense the feeling of an old movie will be. Choose to add scratches, flicker, grain and even more, while sharing the video on Facebook, Twitter or even through email. Depending on the capabilities of the phone, the recording can be in 360p, 480p or 720p.
