PS4 system software update v1.70 detailed

Sony has provided new details on the upcoming system software update v1.70 for PS4 that will add new features.

The 1.70 update will enable SHAREfactory, a new rich video editor app for PS4 that allows players to customize gameplay videos. Users can combine captured video clips for editing, personalize them with special effects using filters, transitions, and themes, as well as share them. The tool also allows personalization with added text, stickers, and a set of included audio tracks, as well as video commentary with picture-in-picture capability with PlayStation Camera. It also allows import of original music.

Videos created in SHAREfactory can be shared to Facebook, or exported to an external USB storage device to upload them elsewhere, another new feature coming as part of the update. Other PS4 SHARE enhancements include the ability to change the recording time of your gameplay to shorter increments, the ability to change who you share your clips with on the SHARE screen, and the removal of default saves for screenshots and video clips.

In addition to these SHARE enhancements, the update will allow you switch off HDCP, enabling capture of video directly from HDMI output.

The v1.70 update is coming in the near future.
