Ok, I'd like to be able to get video clips on the iphone not just to watch (I have figured out how to use iTunes to do that) but also to edit using Reel Director. Yeah, I know, why not on the computer? Because for what I want to do my iphone app does it better than any app I've found on the computer (That's free anyways, I can't really afford something like Premiere).
If you must know, the long story is that I found if I take video in portrait mode on my iPhone, iMovie stretches out the video so it will fill a wide screen aspect which of course stretches the whole picture and for some reason it insists on doing this, regardless of if I check off fit picture to screen or keep it unchecked. Every other app I found puts the video on its side and has no way of rotating it though you'd think that would be a basic ability! Reel Director not only doesn't assume I want it stretched, it doesn't assume I want it on its side, and even if it did, for some reason it's the only video editor I've found that lets me rotate the picture (is it really that hard? It can't be when an iphone app can do it!). It even lets me zoom in and out. So while it is very basic, it has some features the others don't that I'd like to be able to take advantage of, even if I didn't shoot the video on my iphone.
