• Transport yourself to downtown Municiberg in the middle of a thrilling Selfie Scene from Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2
• Selfie Scenes use the Neural Engine on the A12 Bionic chip for high quality portrait segmentation during preview and recording
• Use 3 new filters to make your video look like a monochromatic comic book, watercolor painting, or aged film
• Create great-looking title cards with 8 new customizable posters with themes including science, sports, and silent movie
• Choose from 8 expressive stickers and 4 colorful text labels to add emphasis and annotations to your video
• Select from 17 new royalty-free soundtracks, including tracks to match new Selfie Scenes plus fun pop, lounge, and vintage-inspired music that automatically adjusts to the length of your video
