So, as here, I had to artificially 'split' up the relevant sections of my main footage so that each could have its own explanatory title. This is a shame and perhaps Apple will fix this limitation in an update, but I susect they don't want to tread on the heels of 'pro' video editors like Lumia Fusion.Īnother limitation - for my use - is that I wanted to have titles over each cutaway photo, explaining what it was - and you can only apply titles to complete video clips in iMovie, it seems. Which means that, as you saw earlier in the finished show, all my cutaways were static. Whereas what I like doing is having example photos (and videos) as 'cutaways' while the audio from the main footage continues underneath. There's a 'Fade' option, bottom right, with triangular handles (not shown) to set the timing of when the fades happen - the solid yellow handles are for overall trimming and moving of where the sound lives in the timeline.Īdding photos is slightly awkward for my purposes in that the 'Ken Burns' effect (zooming and panning to add life to an image) is only available for photos in the timeline. With a title overlaid on some arty water footage, I'm now adding some instrumental music.

Titling is a bit primitive, in that all you can do is effectively overlay one line (or a preset line layout) of text and choose colour and font, I couldn't see how to adjust text/font size. The next stage is to find some fluffs (edit points!) and tap to 'Split', then tidy up either side of the split as needed by dragging to trim the video 'ends'. Here I've shot my mainly scripted video in the Camera app and have imported it directly into iMovie.

IMovie's interface is kept as simple as possible throughout - occasionally obtusely so, so some experimentation is needed. At any stage a project can be previewed, shared or deleted. Managing projects turned out to be a doddle (with one note, at the bottom, below) - though if you're going to be doing what I tend to do, which is start with a template of intro/titles, then it's best to save this right at the start rather than create a whole video and have to copy it and then go through deleting all the contents. There were plenty of small caveats along the way, but also some genuinely pleasant surprises:

So yes, it's a little amateurish in places, but I still think it's an achievement to have stepped into the workflow that normally see me using a powerful PC or Mac without too many compromises.

So quite a bit to weave in - feel free to watch in full or skip around on the timeline to get the idea: As usual with my Phones Show style, there's A-roll (footage straight to camera) with stills 'cutaway' to hide most edit points, plus B-roll video and lots of example photos from the phone being reviewed. I'll come to a few tips below, but here's what I ended up with, after about three hours of slightly fiddly touchscreen editing. (Ditto Macs, which is why I switched from PC to Mac for my main desktop ten years ago, by the way, and I can see some people switching to iPhone for similar reasons.) Buy an iPhone, however old and however second hand, and you have an up to date and fully feature 'pro' video editor baked in.

For any budding videographer it's a major plus point in using iOS - the Android world is awash with buggy video editors stuffed with adverts and in-app-purchases (the best of the bunch is possibly PowerDirector, though even that has major issues). Significantly, iMovie is built-in and free forever.

It didn't have to be this particular iPhone either, though the 'Max' sized displays do work quite well for editing and I can't imagine using iMovie or similar on a smaller display!

But I figured it was finally time to bite the bullet and try a serious semi-pro video project all using just a phone - for everything.ĭid it have to be an iPhone? Not necessarily, though I do think Apple does video very well across the board - from the highest quality capture to the best editing software (iMovie). Why 'forced'? Because I was stuck looking after my aged dad for a week and had no access to a 'proper' computer (on this occasion).
