Feature Request

Hey. I am working on multiple freestyle projects and I usually have a huge backlog of snippets to sort and save. It would be extremely useful if I could enter one freestyle project and use it as a base, but then work through my photos chronologically and, when deciding where to save, to be able to select another project, but deselect the current one. This way, I don’t have to keep going out and changing projects, resetting the place I am at in my photos, etc. Writing this, I realized I can do a draft project to work as a base one, but it would be a lot easier to just be able to select the project I want to save to without a default one, that cannot be deselected. Thank you!

Hey. With a lot of freestyle projects and a huge backlog, when I do manage to start saving and arranging snippets, I find myself constantly switching between 1SE and my photo albums. The difference in scrolling is a tiny, but persistent annoyance (1SE has most recent up, scrolling up to go down to older media, while the iOS album is the other way around). It would be amazing to be able to make the scrolling consistent with the OS. Thank you so much

I am creating Freestyle projects for all my godchildren. Freestyle came after they were born, so I went through older yearly videos to cut snippets with them and add to their Freestyle projects. Let’s say I cut a snippet from 2017 sometime in 2020. I added that and edited the date in the Freestyle project to show 2017. However, when I arrange snippets chronologically, the snippet in question moves to 2020, the date of the file used. Since adding snippets is done randomly, the arrange function would be very useful, if it weren’t for this tiny option to arrange by the date of the file and not the date the snippet is set to represent. It might be a fringe use case, but I imagine the implementation shouldn’t be too difficult. Thank you so much!

It would be very useful to be able to grasp from one look if I’ve added snippets from a specific date or not. A date stamp on the snippet preview would be amazing

I was really surprised to find that the rewind feature is just to SHOW you your snippets from your past on the current date, but you can’t really DO anything with them. Most of the work is done and it seems like the last step would be to create a mash from all the (for example) May 18 snippets that I have over the years. Otherwise, what’s the purpose of the rewind?

I know a lot of people who use the Freestyle-Mode as their normal diary and don´t use the other mode because of several reasons. And though we actually do use the Freestyle mode in a chronological oder and create a project for every year. For example you could create an option to sort a Freestyle Project chronological or customized. And for the people who sort it chronological you could implement the same time jump feature as in the timeline mode. Reasons why I use the Freestyle Mode instead of the Timeline Mode as my diary: I prefer it because I´m not filming a snippet every day. I like to use my journal in a way like memories work for me. Sometimes I have a week where I mostly work and I don´t need many snippets of that and then there is a week where a lot is happening and maybe I want to do 5 snippets on some days of that week. So in a Freestyle project that´s all one beautiful feed of all the things I want to remember. But in a Journal project there would be many empty days and I´m limited in the amount of snippets per day and I thinks it also looks different when I upload several snippets on one day in a Journal project. I do it like that for more than 6 years and have a freestyle project for every year. I even transferred my old journal project in freestyle projects because it´s nicer to look at it like that. So I think it´s a better experience for everybody who is not using the app in a classic way of one or two snippets every day. And most people I know don´t use it in that classic way. But if the Freestyle projects would be optimized for this purpose the app would become more attractive for a lot of people who want a whole memory of there year but don´t want the pressure of making snippets every day but instead when they create meaningful memories :)

I would love to be able to create a collab with friends where the videos will automatically be added to the timeline in chronological order. Right now, you have to manually adjust where the videos are and it’s difficult to manage if multiple people are on the project. If there could be a project setting that could be selected, it would make me want to use collaboration much more!

When showing older relatives they often complain that the pictures and videos go by to quickly, it would be good if there was a full screen mode where you could swipe back and forth between days (without having to click on each day) and take your time explaining each photo and videos would loop.

Can you allow an option to arranged in chronological order?When doing freestyle mode, if we choose?

I have a timeline from last year and this year but they are seperate and i would like to merge them into one big timeline. (Eg holiday videos on a seprate timeline I would like to add to my main)
