Unless I’m missing something, iOS 13 no longer allows the default photo app to edit videos by saving them as a new clip.
This is a real drag. I’ll explain my workflow: I would record multiple acts over a 3 hour period. Just let the camera run; set and forget if you will. I’d want to individually edit each artist out from the main video and then whittle down the ends so it was perfect. Previously in iOS 12, one would edit by cropping the long video with the two yellow bars and when ready, a message would prompt you to either “save as new clip” (and leaving the original long file untouched) or edit the original file. This was a HUGE timesaver over using iOS iMovie. It acted like QuickTime does on the Mac. In iOS 13, it appears as a non destructive edit, so it doesn’t save as a new individual clip leaving the original as a separate file. I thought I could sorta cheat the workflow by “duplicating” the edited file and reverting the original back to do another edit. Nope. iOS 13 will duplicate the ORIGINAL file again (with the edit).
Before anyone mentions Lumafusion, the idea was to make these super fast snippets without the need for going through another bulky app. iOS 13 just feels more unnecessarily bloated, even though there’s some nice new features. But the more I’m using it, the less I’m beginning to feel it was worth it.
