Today is an important milestone and turning point for the Supernova team. Beginning today, we’re retiring Viddy, Epic and Clique to focus singularly on something new and exciting.

From Viddy’s launch and growth, through its evolution to Supernova, to the merger with Fullscreen -- it's been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And now, as a company and in partnership with Otter Media, we set our sights on something even more bold and ambitious: to redefine entertainment for today’s youth.

On November 4, 2014, we will be pulling Viddy from the App Store and Google Play, and on December 15, we will be shutting down operations.

Everyone who currently has Viddy will be able to continue using the app until December 15, and our team will be available as usual to help with any issues you may have. Also, we have made it very easy for you to download and archive all of your Viddy content. Please visit Viddy.com before December 15th get all your stuff.

K.I.T.

Like we do every week, we mashed up a Viddy #REWIND featuring some of the best clips we saw over the past seven days. This week, however, we shared a photo #REWIND as well. We don't know if one can rewind photos, but if so, we guess this is roughly what it would look like. Check out this week's photo collage above ad click HERE for this week's AWESOME Viddy #REWIND video.

Did You Know?

You can capture both photos and videos with Viddy 3.0. When you open the custom camera, it defaults to the still camera.

Hello Viddy Community,

We are very pleased to announce the release of Viddy 3.0! This is our first major revision since version 2.0, and it represents a serious overhaul of the product.

Looking at Viddy 3.0 in comparison to our earliest versions, it is amazing how far the product and the technology that drives it have come.  In the few short years since we launched, we have seen mobile social video evolve from a very self contained, novel form of communication to a viable means of producing and sharing high quality media with the people in our lives. And we only expect it to become exponentially more sophisticated in the future.

All of the changes we’ve made in Viddy 3.0 are focused on that future. We’ve baked in a number of the tools that you would find in a consumer camera and a basic editing suite. We’ve added photos, fast and slow motion, and burst capture. We’ve stripped out filters in favor of brightness, contrast, sharpness and more customizable enhancements.

Major Changes include:

-Photo and video capture.

-Sophisticated photo editing (brightness, contrast, sharpness, vignettes)

-Burst mode photo capture

-Pull multiple photos from library and create collages

-Multiple photo aspect ratios

-New video editing options (brightness, contrast, frame rate)

-New design/interface

-New, dynamic Explore Page (constantly refresh)

We hope you enjoy the new Viddy. And we would love to hear your feedback, suggestions and ideas for future versions!

Our friends at Flambe Studios (makers of PicPlayPost) have released a new superimposing app for iOS. The app is called StackMotion, and it is basically a green screen app for your iPhone. 

Stackmotion allows you to cut out a still image and superimpose it over a video, slideshow, or (really cool) moving panorama. You can add music, text and filters and share your creations to Viddy, YouTube and all of your social media.

We'll be looking for your #stackmotion masterpieces on Viddy. Remember to tag them so we don't miss any!

With StackMotion you can virtually put anything or anyone anywhere. We trust you will be responsible with this great power ;)

#REWIND! 2013 Edition.

It's been quite a year around here! In 2013, mobile social video became more widely used than ever. Viddy became more sophisticated and you all became better at using it. We released a 2.0 version, we released two new products, we changed our name (#SUPERNOVA!!), we had a lot of fun with our old friends and met some great new ones. We went back to fashion week, we went to Coachella, Justin Bieber took Viddy on tour, Victoria's Secret took Viddy on Spring Break, and once again Red Bull took Viddy to terrifying heights. Our community shared births, weddings, personal triumphs and tragedies, insane feats of athleticism, and epic fails and we did it all in a supportive, (mostly) troll-free environment. We also watched a LOT of dogs grow up.

We want to thank all of you who shared your moments with us this year. It was very difficult to pack the most memorable moments of this year into 30 seconds, but we did our best. Check it out HERE!

And if you want more...check out a bonus clip HERE.

We're looking forward to the best year ever in 2014, and we are stoked to have you all as our traveling companions on this adventure.
