Fused Overlay Photo and Video Layer for iOS probably does exactly what you think it does based on the name. It overlays — or blends — photos and videos, allowing you to manipulate the contrast, exposures, brightness and blend. In the case of videos, it also allows you to control the volume as well.
The app is very intuitive and does everything instantly. Sweeping up allows you to control the blend of the images or videos. The controls are about as simple as using Photos on your phone. It uses the same icons and functioning similarly, only with a blend.
Photo blending
I first decided to blend two photos. The first is of the head of Data from “Star Trek” from an exhibit at Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The second was a photo of the beautiful clouds earlier that day.
The controls shown above are different ways of resizing or moving the two images. The first icon allows you to choose between a square and the original aspect ratio. The second allows you to turn the image in a clockwise manner. The third flips it horizontally. The fourth flips it vertically. Easy.
Within seconds, I created a surrealistic looking image.
Video blending
Video blending was just as simple. There is no difference between blending two videos and blending two photos. And of course, you may blend one video and one photo as well if you wish.
In a matter of seconds, I was able to create a video blending two iPhone videos from the Mojave Desert.
It’s fantastic that you can create these in a matter of seconds. Saving it automatically saves it to Photos so you can find it easily.
There are some in-app purchases. For instance, if you wish to eliminate the “Made with Fused” watermark, you can continue by starting a 3-day free trial, which will then run $1.99/week. Note that you will also get ads for their other apps, including a dating app.
Fused is free. The functionality is limited but implemented beautifully.
You should consider including Android apps as well in your article. After reading your article, I installed a few free ones for android and they seemed better than this app. Remember android hold 75 percent of market share. https://www.statista.com/statistics/272698/global-market-share-held-by-mobile-operating-systems-since-2009/
I would love to include Android apps. However, I do not have an Android device, making this endeavor more challenging. Whenever possible, I try to choose apps that are cross-platform. This may possibly be the first app article I’ve written that is not cross-platform. Perhaps you could suggest a few of the apps that you tried so that others may benefit from this. Thanks!
