I recently downloaded the iMovie App for the iPhone 4 and decided to give it a test drive.
I spent 15 minutes shooting and editing a short video to see how it compared to my limited skills on the full version.
It was fairly easy to drag videos from my library into iMovie and select a them and add captions and music. I than went back to try and add some more clips and some photos but when i inserted them between other clips it kept the original length of my video and squished the other clips around the new one to make room for it. It would not let me stretch my video longer to make room for the new clips and it seems that it might be best to have the order of your video figured out ahead of time, kinda lame.
Also I now know that it might be best to hold the phone in landscape move since the transitions and themes will be set for landscape.
It was cool to be able to add my own song and also mute the sound of my video clips in order to keep the song playing, or if you don’t, it would automatically lower the volume on the song to hear your video.
Check out the short video I made and watch it in HD.
