Apple Updates Clips App With New Design, HDR Video Recording With iPhone 12, Improved iPad Experience, and More

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced a major update to its video creation app Clips for iPhone and iPad, with key new features including a refreshed interface, support for both vertical and horizontal video, HDR recording with iPhone 12, and more.

Clips 3.0, available today on the App Store, features a streamlined interface with faster access to effects. On the iPad, Clips now supports landscape orientation, Scribble with Apple Pencil, and the use of a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad. The new version of the app also lets users make videos in multiple aspect ratios, including horizontal and vertical.

Clips on iPhone automatically opens to a new 16:9 vertical project, while on the iPad it opens to a new 4:3 landscape project.

Clips 3.0 has been optimized for HDR video recording using the rear cameras on all iPhone 12 models, resulting in higher contrast and more vibrant colors. These videos can be augmented with eight new stickers, six additional arrows and shapes, and 25 new soundtracks that automatically adjust to match the length of videos.

For more details about the Clips update, read the Apple Newsroom release.

Best thing I've seen on the internet today. I've used it several times; CLIPS has a lot of potential...but was feeling a bit outdated. Thanks Apple.

Hoping the other social platforms jump on board and start supporting hdr videos.

Nice that you’re not just limited to square video anymore! And some of those new live caption presets look cool.

x2. I’m really behind on my Apple stuff

Landscape recording! yay.

 

[coachingguy]

As a teacher, I use this app all the time for my classes. I also use it to make birthday, anniversary etc video's for friends and family. Huge potential, but they had kind of let it lapse. So happy they updated/upgraded it! Landscape, finally!

I can't wait to update it and play with it. I'm waiting on the 12 Pro Max, and then it should really fly!

Be Safe!

Coachingguy!

Clips turned out to be a fun app. Some creativity and a sense of humor goes a long way.

It really should! And, if it hasn’t replaced Photobooth on AS Macs, I’ll be surprised.

Not showing up for me either.

Nice, Clips is one of my favorite app.

X3! How did I miss this and it's already on v3.0? Will def give it a try when the 12 Pro arrives Friday!

 

[Blowback]

Always thought it was good but underestimated app. Not seeing it yet but looking forward to using it for some upcoming iMessages today....

 

[dillacom]

ah update is showing now

 

[Unregistered 4U]

ah update is showing now

Yeah, getting it now. Will be good to work on my iPad Pro in landscape

 

[jonnyb098]

All of this needs to be built into the messages app!!!

 

[himanshumodi]

Oh nice. I had fiddled around with Clips a while back. But didn't really care for its square only interface. Time to give it a whirl again.

Clips on iPhone automatically opens to a new 16:9 vertical project, while on the iPad it opens to a new 4:3 landscape project.

I’m pretty sure it opens to whichever way (portrait or landscape) you have the iPad currently aligned. I got portrait at startup.

 

[BoulderDash]

?... is there any way to use the Clips app on an iPhone as a virtual camera for video conferencing? That Comic Book filter is great!

Feeling a bit stupid...or maybe just age kicking in....was updating my apps just now and saw Clips in the list. So apparently I DID know about it, downloaded it....and forgot all about it.

Of course I've got many apps I downloaded and forgot about/never use. *facepalm*

 

[Localcelebrity]

So when will Clips finally replace Photobooth on Mac?

I honestly forgot Photobooth existed. When was the last time THAT got a meaningful update?

 

[ToddJ]

They removed the STAR WARS clips?????? That was the best part of it!!!! DON’T UPDATE THE APP if you still want the STAR WARS clips
