Using LifeFlix on Older macOS Versions

We’ve just launched V5 but there’s loads more still in development. Just a recap on V5 first.

What we’ve kept and made minor tweaks to improve upon

 we’ve continued to make sure that it can import from as many sources as possible, from DV camcorders to modern video files from phones, cameras, the whole lot. Includes videos from YouTube and Facebook.

it’s been made easier to do so everyone can do it without a problem. Videos can be updated to 1920 x 1080 x 1280 x 720.

 if your device happens to crash for whatever reason, anything you were working on goes into the “orphaned movies” album.

 can be exported in the original format, multiple scenes or even the entire tape can be exported plus you can make some changes during export like renaming scenes.

With V5, we’ve added some new features as well though the bulk of them will come with later updates

 we’ve heard, and we’ve delivered. Dark mode is now an option, not the only thing available, so with light mode it’ll allow for more natural depiction of the interface elements.

 These are the features that are still in development and will come with future updates to V5.

 we’ve made sure that you’re guided through the entire process, so that you know what you’re doing and how to do it. Think of it as an interactive tutorial that’ll take you from start to end. What to connect. What to click. Takes you through the entire process.

 we know a large portion of our lifeflix community use lifeflix as a storage as well as a digitisation tool so we’ve built on that, made things easier to use, more functional, more visually pleasing. 

These features will be continuously improved upon wherever possible right up until their release so that our developers can take notes from the community on what they’d like to see added to Lifeflix.

Some non-technical changes to Lifeflix with V5

Lifeflix now comes with a licence that you’d need to use it. There’s the perpetual licence which is a one time payment of $99 that will only give you access to the current version of lifeflix, not to any cool features we’ll be adding later on.

While there’s also the annual subscription option of $49 per year which gives you access to the current version plus any future versions. So, cool features are included

Apart from these, we’ve developed a new product that can be purchased and used as an add on. More details will come later, but in short, it is an 

that’ll identify all those problems that need fixing and do the fixing for you. 

Lots of exciting things with V5, with more to come!

Lifeflix v4.2.5 simplifies digitizing and editing old tapes with intuitive tools, advanced features, and easy importing for preserving your memories.

LifeFlix Version 5 

The tapes have been restored. Quality might be mediocre at best and that’s where editing comes in

Restored footage often comes with its problems- colour inconsistencies, scratches, and sometimes even missing frames. Editing allows you to polish these clips.

Different Software for Editing Restored Footage

1. Basic Editing Software (iMovie, Windows Movie Maker)

Incredibly easy to use, making them perfect for beginners.

: Both iMovie and Windows Movie Maker come pre-installed on their respective operating systems.

 Basic editing software lacks advanced features like colour correction, stabilization and noise reduction.

 These tools are not designed specifically for restored footage, so they might be lacking in certain areas.

2. Professional Editing Software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro)

 Offer a range of advanced features, including colour correction, stabilization and noise reduction.

 These tools can be overwhelming for beginners.

3. Specialized Restoration and Editing Software 

 combines both restoration and editing capabilities

Despite its advanced features, generally easy to use.

 Compared to professional software, they usually offer a more budget-friendly option.

Personally, we would go with a specialised editing and restoration software because it does everything and depending on which service you use, it can do all that at a bargain. That’s where Lifeflix comes in, it’s designed specifically for transferring, restoring, and editing old footage, making it a specialized tool that outshines general-purpose software and it’s a onetime purchase, adding affordability to it. We want you to make the best choice and for that you’ll need information, so let’s go into just a few things that makes Lifeflix stand out from the rest.

Lifeflix automatically detects and separates different scenes in your footage, saving you hours of manual labour. This feature is a game-changer, especially when dealing with long and continuous clips.

Restored footage often has problems with colour inconsistencies. Lifeflix helps solve this with an intuitive colour correction tool that allows you to adjust brightness, contrast and saturation, bringing your footage back to life.

Old footage can be shaky, but Lifeflix's stabilization feature smooths it out, giving you a more professional-looking final product.

Lifeflix includes a noise reduction feature that helps clean up grainy footage, making it look clearer and more polished.

Once you're done editing, it is super easy to share. You can export your footage in various formats or directly upload it to social media platforms.

Editing footage doesn't have to be difficult, especially when you have the right tools at your disposal. While there are various approaches to editing, Lifeflix stands out as our go to software. Lifeflix makes the process of editing restored footage a joy rather than a chore.

The video needs to be playing for changes to be seen. Adjustments don’t show up if the video is paused since it will loop during these tweaks.

3. Non-Destructive Edits: the original clip stays unchanged. Use the "Bypass" button to see the video without the adjustments.

Go to the "Import" button and select "Import Folder."

Pick the folder with your video files. Lifeflix will import all the videos from that folder.

Finding Duplicates: Use the "Duplicate Scenes" feature.

Automatic Saving: If Lifeflix crashes, it automatically saves any unattached movies in an “Orphaned Movies” album.

Recover Work: Go to the "Orphaned Movies" album to reattach those movies.

2. Click the "Combine" button to merge them into a single file. Perfect for creating continuous videos from multiple segments!

Select your video format during import: 


 For higher quality, but it results in larger files.

Turn on batch capture to import multiple tapes without stopping.

Automatic Detection: Lifeflix will recognize when a tape stops, pauses, or rewinds, making the process easier for you.

Lifeflix handles MiniDV, HDV, Digital8 (D8), Hi-8, and Video8.

Connect a MiniDV camera to a VHS deck, then connect the camera to your Mac via FireWire. Note: This workaround may have issues and isn't officially supported.

Import Files: Go to File > Import Movie Files. Select your video files (.mov, .mp4, .m4v) to add them to your Lifeflix collection.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, don't hesitate to reach out. Enjoy digitizing and preserving your precious memories!

Lifeflix v4.2.5

All footage that is to be imported or has been imported into LifeFlix v3.6 can be converted to a High Definition (HD) video file. This will boost its visual fidelity and upscale its native resolution to 1920 x 1080.

 If you happen to import footage as Standard Definition (SD), you can always convert it to HD at any moment, but once footage has been converted to HD, it cannot be converted back to SD.

 Converting your tapes to HD will lead to file size getting larger.

Elevate your footage to HD quality with LifeFlix v3.6, enhancing visual clarity and resolution.
