Apple Updates iMovie and Numbers for iOS 8 [Update: iMovie Returns]

[MacRumors]

Apple has begun updating its own apps for iOS 8, with iMovie and Numbers receiving the first updates. While Numbers simply brings stability, iOS 8 support and iCloud Drive compatibility, iMovie goes a bit further with brand new features like video filters, an extension for the Photos app and more.

What's New in Version 2.1
- Support for iOS 8
- Enhance video clips in the Photos app using the iMovie extension
- Choose from 10 Apple-designed filters to stylize a video clip or an entire movie
- Slow down, freeze, or speed up a portion of a clip*
- Save videos and iMovie project files to iCloud Drive
- Send videos to other apps on your iOS device
- Create titles using bi-directional text
- Support for Arabic, Australian English, Hebrew, and Mexican Spanish
* 2x speed-up is available on iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, and later devices.

The new updates allow amateur filmmakers to exert even more control over their videos, with the ability to enhance videos from directly within the Photos app and apply filters to their videos within iMovie to attain a certain look. Users can also speed up and slow down parts of videos, likely allowing users who didn't shoot in the video camera's slo-mo mode to make those changes.

Additionally, users can also move their footage around easier, using iCloud Drive to move videos and projects around their devices and also allowing other video editing and post-production apps.

Update: Pages has also been updated with iOS 8 support, iCloud Drive compatibility and stability.

Update 2: Multiple users have told MacRumors that iMovie has been pulled from App Stores around the world, likely due to significant reports of the app crashing upon launch.

Update 3: iMovie has returned to the App Store.

iMovie is a universal app that's available for $4.99 [Direct Link]

Numbers is a universal app that's available for $9.99 [Direct Link]

Pages is a universal app that's available for $9.99 [Direct Link]

[Padmini]

Crash. What a joke this botched launch has been.

It is not showing up in my App Store either. At first I was concerned that Apple had dropped iMovie support for the iPod touch 5 (anyone remember iPhoto and the iPod touch 4?). It is good to know that is not the case! #

 

[LordBeelzebub]

iMovie crashes for me to. I deleted the app and was going to fresh install but it's not on the App Store now either. Must have major problems. Hope they get it fixed soon. Was happy to see the added features to it.

 

[DerekAndonian]

Reading all the crashing reports is disappointing. Hopefully that gets resolved soon- using extensions to send photo library videos to iMovie sounded really cool...

 

[RaggieSoft]

It appears that iMovie is back on the app store. I'm not experiencing a crash on launch on my iPhone 5 w/ iOS 8

The item you are trying to buy is no longer available

 

[PBG4 Dude]

iMovie still not available for me. I have an update link, but it errors out with "The item you tried to buy is no longer available".

 

[Pakaku]

Crash. What a joke this botched launch has been.

See: every single iteration of Apple day-1 launches

 

[Amazing Iceman]

Crash. What a joke this botched launch has been.

Well, it's not supposed to run on your Android device!

At least it's not just me having the issue. I'll wait a little longer for the update.

UPDATE: It paid to wait, it updated by itself and now it does work.

I was actually hoping for an extended user interface layout for the iPhone 6 Plus for iMovie. Sadly, nothing about this in the update notes. I use iMovie quite a lot on my iPhone, and it would be nice to use the additional screen real estate in some smart way.
