WhenApplereleased its iMovie for iPhone in 2010, it quickly became one of thebest video editing appsaround.
Back then, it was an absolute game changer.
How does Apple’s video editor app perform now?
Editing is a simple experience, with enough tools to create a moderately complex project - there’s even green screen provisions, effects, titles, and a handful of transitions
Lets take a look.
In fact, Trailers are integrated into Storyboard.
The interface is quite different whichever option you select.
It’s like a video game: choose your level of difficulty: ‘Magic Movie’ (easy), ‘Storyboard’ (medium), or ‘Movie’ (hard)
Yes, Apple is being a bit stingy on that front.
The duration can be set from half a second up to 2 seconds in length.
These are pretty minimalistic options compared with the competition.
In ‘Movie’ you can scroll through, preview and select as many clips as you wish
For the most part, you will be working with a single layer of video.
Once thats done, its time to build your project.
Youre not obliged to follow that request, but obviously a template is there for a reason.
The ‘Storyboard’ side of things comes with a series of genres to choose from
Its pretty basic fare.

‘Magic Movie’ does it all for you, although you do have some input into the creation process, should you want it
