When you guys say "iMovie" are you using the iOS version or the Mac/desktop version?

I've been debating the iOS version but it gets poor reviews, but if it could do this then I may spring for it...
 
Part II

I found a new way to take videos more smoothly and efficiently. With a ruler. So I decided to make a second video. Also because I was bored.

very cool.

both videos are very cool. what do you mean by you used a ruler?

Thanks for that, and well I don't have a "steady cam" like item to take smooth shots, so I attached my iPhone to the back of a ruler and sort of glided with it so take the smooth shots you see in the second video.

That's right..

Because most of the video editing apps (like iMovie, Vimeo, Splice, and ReelEditor) still follows the nature of the iPhone 4 (720p at maximum).
A.k.a have not being updated for the iPhone 4S capabilities.

So, no choice but to edit and upload it from your computer in order to preserve the resolution.

EDIT:

This is mine btw:

YouTube: video

what app did you use to edit

----------

I have a 64GB iPhone and find myself looking for video files to delete constantly. I shot a 2 minute video of the ocean and it turned out to be close to 235MB.

To be an avid filmmaker with the iPhone you need at least 100GB of storage to get through a full days work. I take these small little shots and I am constantly cutting them to take out the "useless" parts.

I am not worried about running out of room more or less, running out of battery. I was shooting for my next video at the beach again today, for around 30 minutes or so. Shooting these small little clips and at the end when I was finished I had around 35% battery remaining. When I started I had about 87%.

hmm i might just have to opt for the 64 gigs after all
was considering the 32 but as i'm planning on shooting footage frequently, the 64 seems to be the better option
 
Wow. These are really cool videos. Keep in mind they were taken on an iPhone and by the looks of it, it was also edited!!!

Only Apple could do such a thing. Really incredible. I made a video but it wasn't good and also iMovie only has one animation... Cross dissolve :(

I'm curious to see more videos made an the new iPhone 4S. Anyone have anything to share???

iPhone 4S 1080 Music Video

I posted this but I figured you all might like to see this too. I shot a music video on Sunday (with 2 iPhone 4''s - thanks wifey... one was hers).

Anyway, here is link (and be sure to SHARE this with all of you android fanatics!). :)

btw, make sure you click on the 1080p version. Enjoy!

That was one of the weirdest videos I've seen in a very long time. Up to par with "The Crazy Indian Dance". Says in the description it was edited with final cut pro, if you would've edited it on iMovie on the iPhone, that might have been impressive.

Man my hands hurt as it is... I couldn't image if I had edited this on the phone. :)
 
I haven't had a chance to test mine out yet but those look very impressive. Based on the file sizes I'm glad I had no choice but to get a 64GB now. The stabilization seems to make a big difference over the i4.

Yes, I agree. 64GB is definitely the best choice for those looking to shoot film consistently on the new iPhone 4S (like the OP). Is the stabilization automatic in the new iPhone?

Ha! Reminds me of Sam Raimi's 2x4 cam 'rig' he used in The Evil Dead!
 
I don't understand why the iphone uses so much space for HD vids. It's lower on other phones that also shoot 1080.

D'Oh! Correction.... the video was shot on the iPhone, but it wasn't edited on the iPhone (just read the thread title... that's what happens when your too tired to read) :)

Maybe next time I will do an entire edit on the phone (but I did notice the phone runs a little hot during intensive uses; we had them running almost non-stop on Sunday and when they weren't in use, they were on a charger).
 
OP: I like your videos and the cheerful music that goes along with them. I think it would be clever and throw your viewers for a loop if at the end of the video you happened across a dead body in the sand and the happy music came to a screeching halt.

I see no difference in quality compared to the iPhone 4.
Only thing I can see is stabilization will work to the advantage for the average consumer.
That & the 4S is slightly under saturated

Yes, I noticed that as well. The only thing (like the OP mentioned) is that iMovie on the iPhone only has one transitioning effect.

How do you not see any difference in quality? Things appear so much sharper than on the iPhone 4. So much more detail is now in the video. It's incredible!
