You can share the final video to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, or any other social media platform of your choice - but the video looks best, according to Apple, in iMessage.
But there's a big caveat: The videos, which are capped at 60 minutes, *must* be square-shaped.
Photos and videos can be mixed and matched, and you can capture media live or tap into your photo library to create a video. The app has a simple interface: a big “Hold-to-Record” button, a square-shaped live camera preview in the middle, and a variety of animated elements you can add at the top. But with its pre-built animations and an easy drag-and-drop timeline, the new app makes vacation/home video creation seem less daunting and more enjoyable. I've taken a gazillion hours of GoPro/iPhone footage that have never seen the light of day, because of the headache of sorting and editing the video. The free app, set to launch in April, is more customizable than the automatically generated slideshows made by the Photos app’s “Memories” tab, but less complicated than iMovie.
It’s the Goldilocks of Apple’s video editing apps – not too simplistic, but not too complicated either. Apple’s adding another mobile video editor to the mix: Clips.
