I swear that I once imported a movie clip direct to my iPad, and then was able to edit it right there in the Photos app. I used the $2 iSupr8 (which is also made for iPad), but there are plenty of iPhone apps that can be used in pixel-doubled mode.Īnd that's it, apart from one question that has been nagging at me. And they will pretty much all spit out iMovie-friendly files. Luckily, there are plenty of iPhone apps that Lomo-ize your footage. If you're going to degrade the quality then you may as well have some fun. Then go back to the "My Projects" tab, hit render and wait.
#IMOVIE PLUS#
Then open up ReelDirector, make a new project, switch off all the options in the pop-up and hit the plus button to add a clip.
#IMOVIE MP4#
Shoot a clip, put the SD card into your camera connection kit and transfer the movie right to your iPad (Motion JPG, AVI, MOV and MP4 should all come across fine). But it will take a clip and crunch it into a format iMove can understand. It's clunky, slow and doesn't even allow you to view your edits before rendering them. ReelDirector ($2) is a venerable app that arrived on the iPad before iMovie. That's right: If you're prepared for a small loss in quality, you can convert video right there on the iPad. And here's the trick: Many of these apps will edit video or add special effects and then spit out the results in an iMovie-compatible format.
Third-party apps, too, can read any movie file stored in your camera roll. I shall now permit myself an exclamation mark: ! Converting Video With the iPadĪs we know, the iOS app for playing videos is a lot less finicky than iMovie, as all it has to do is play back video. Still, it would be nice if you could do these conversions on the iPad itself, right? Well, it turns out you can. Also, the iTunes step will be automatic now it's set up. Both ClipWrap and MPEG Streamclip can batch-convert files, and you can save your Streamclip settings as a preset. Written here it seems like a long process, but in practice it is pretty fast. Let us know the make and model of you camera if you are successful, or if you fail. As I said, I have tried this with files from a Panasonic GF1 and found it to work.
Open up a project in iMovie on the iPad and your clip should be there. You can run it on iPhones and iPads with the latest version of iOS 15.2 installed.Now, the moment of truth. I'll be trying iMovie out soon, but the update's available today.
#IMOVIE MAC#
Projects can be exported over, but Apple continues to make its iOS and Mac iMovie apps unique entities. Unfortunately, neither of these new iMovie changes are coming to Apple's Mac version of iMovie.
Of the two, Clips seems to be more focused on ease of use. They keep adding features that make them seem more similar than ever, but they still have pretty different interfaces. It would make sense to merge the two apps, but they remain oddly separate. I still find it strange that Apple also has Clips, another video-editing program that lives parallel to iMovie. It actually seems like a helpful addition for someone as scattershot as me. At first glance, it seems like a video version of how projects can be organized in writing apps such as Scrivener. While the storyboarding lists might seem restrictive, they can be shuffled up or added to. There are a bunch of templates - even one for "product reviews," which made me raise my eyebrows. Storyboarding creates templates guiding various types of video projects, even down to shot types and length of shots. Once made, the automatically generated video edits can be re-edited or tweaked. Magic Movie does it by automatically compiling a movie out of a bunch of clips, similar to the way Apple automatically makes themed music-montage slideshows in its Photos app. The two big features, called Magic Movie and Storyboarding, both aim to make video edits easier in pretty spiritually different ways. Both new features look like they're trying to make the process of using iMovie less intimidating for infrequent video editors.Īpple first introduced these changes during its recent spring product event where the new iPad Air, iPhone SE and Mac Studio were announced. Will that make me more likely to use iMovie? I don't know yet. And, in one case, it'll do everything for you.
#IMOVIE UPDATE#
Apple's latest iMovie update for iOS seems to be speaking to me: iMovie 3.0 introduces new modes that promise to make the video editing process a lot more automatic. I shoot a lot of video footage these days, but I don't do a lot of video edits.
