Qik has previously offered users the possibility to download Qik videos, yet the company has removed the feature last year, mainly so as to turn it into a premium feature, it seems. At the same time, it seems that the company also plans adding more features into the equation, including the ability to upload and share videos that users have recorded with the camera on their handsets.

According to the company, users will be able to build their mobile video library with the new solution, “Save your videos (MPEG-4) from qik.com to your computer, add them to your existing media collection, edit them, burn them into DVDs or create movies with your Qik videos.” Moreover, they will also enjoy a better playback experience, “Your videos are also optimized for faster playback on all types of network connections. Say if you are on a slower connection, switch to non-HQ and playback your videos faster.”

As stated above, the Qik Premium solution will soon include more features, and those willing to benefit from them while also enjoying the promotional price of only $4.99 per year should head over to the Ovi Store. You can have a look at a video recorded in HQ here.
