iMovie 1.1 for iOS Adds 4th-Generation iPod Touch Compatibility, Video Clip Splitting, and More

[MacRumors]

With the new fourth-generation iPod touch launching today, Apple has released an update to its iMovie application for iOS, adding compatibility for the new device to the existing support for iPhone 4. The updates also adds several new features, including the ability split video clips, automatic music looping, and more.

What's new

- Compatible with iPod touch (4th generation).
- Ability to split video clips.
- Automatic music looping when video extends beyond music track.
- Scrub to preview clips in Video Browser.
- In-app Tips page that illustrates how to use key features.
- Updated Photos Browser with newest images at top.
- Mute badge to indicate video clips with audio disabled.
- Additional performance and reliability improvements.

iMovie, priced at $4.99, debuted in late June for the iPhone 4, offering users the ability to edit footage shot on their devices without having to transfer it to a computer. A number of filmmakers quickly demonstrated how films could be easily shot and edited entirely on the iPhone 4.

I love this app. Update was much needed and welcomed. Not surprising that they made it 4.1 only.

I posted this over in the iPod touch section some 15 minutes ago!

good update.

 

[Brinkman]

Might purchase now.

Yes, we can split clips now!!!

Hey, anyone find a way to change the location of the place you're at in the travel theme? It keeps choosing a Boring, OR instead of Multnomah Falls. I then try to input Multnomah Falls but it looks like you're only allowed to show locations from their city/location database. Any way around this?

Bummer! Requires iOS 4.1.
I was wondering why the update wasn't showing up on my iPhone.

Anyone know why iMovie isn't available for the iPad?

I have the camera connection kit and my digital camera records h.264 video, so it would be awesome to edit it on my iPad and post my crap to youtube.

Ohh wait, or is it because iPad has iOS 3?

Excellent. When I bought this I was astonished that it couldn't split clips. It made it completely useless.

You've always been able to change the location for the travel and news themes: double tap the clip, type in the location. Done. I have typed in locations that are not in the default database of locations: what happens when you do this?

I've always been able to tap the text in the clip itself, and then I can edit it and put in any location I want. Using the actual location search has never been correct.

How about the ability to add more than 1 music clip and split/fade that track? 4.1 only, figures Apple...

 

[Goaliegeek]

Still no ability to add our own text? Or am I missing something..

 

[netnothing]

Ok, so how the heck do I split a clip?

-Kevin

Nevermind.....found the tips section which shows how to do it.

 

[MacFly123]

Nice!

I am so glad they changed that confusing camera icon to the video camera symbol now! Where were you on that one originally Apple?

ah ..........


I was wondering why it wouldn't show up in my updates (4.00 still for me)

Damn, dumb me. I never knew you could just tap on the location they gave you to edit it. Always thought you had to use their search function to edit the name. Thanks guys, I'm good to go now!

It would be nice if Apple updated iLife and iWork on it's macs. God forbid they focus on the computers where the real work gets done. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about iwork on the iPad and iMovie for the phone, but most of the Mac apps need serious attention, such as going 64-bit and Cocoa with support for more than one core.

How come whenever I add photos taken with the iPhones 5 megapixel camera it downsizes them they look all crappy? Can you not import hi res photos?

Would you mind sharing where this "Tips" section is? I don't see it.

And now we have confirmed iPod Touch has 256mb of ram, we can finally dispel the myth that the reason iMovie is not available on the iPad was because it had 256mb of ram, and finally come to terms with the truth that it was most likely simply because it has no video camera and therefore Apple see no reason on releasing video editing software for it at this stage.

As for the update itself.. It goes a short way to improving the app certainly, but it needs more Splicing footage should have been there from the outset.

Until they add the ability to split a clip, it's a non-starter for me. I downloaded it and was extremely frustrated trying to do a very basic edit. You can only trim from the beginning or end of the clip (which, itself is a bit wonky). It's an OK first try, but really NEEDS the ability to split a clip to be useful.

Oh, sorry for the stupid post. Happens.

Um thats what the update did dude. And thats what this thread is about.

Umm, isn't that this update?
