Apple’s Clips<\/a> app for iOS is now available:<\/p>\n

Clips is a new app for making fun videos to share with friends, family, and the world. With a few taps you can create and send a video message or tell a quick story with animated text, graphics and emoji, music, and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Got to play with Clips yesterday. Love it. It’s like iMovie and Keynote had a baby and the kid got all the best genes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

It’s not that the app isn’t good at making short, fun videos; in fact, it’s great<\/em> at doing that. But it seems like it’s trying to shoehorn an Instagram or Snapchat style of app into Apple’s typical UI conventions. As Ulanoff says, it seems less like a competitor to those apps than it does a trimmed-down version of iMovie. Maybe the market for something like that is large, but I’m not sold on it yet.<\/p>\n

It’s a small thing, but the icon is also disappointing. It’s supposed to be a fun, creative, silly app, so why does the icon make it look like it will be for corporate videoconferencing?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Michael Rockwell<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I haven’t spent too much time using the application, but I’m very impressed with what I’ve seen so far.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Apple’s Clips is great. One of the best iOS apps they’ve made in years. It’s a useful quick video editor even if you ignore the fun effects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2017-04-16): Eddie Smith<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Renie Ritchie apparently wrote a treatise<\/a> on Apple’s new Clips<\/a> app, but don’t let that intimidate you. Clips is ridiculously easy to use, and most of its features are discoverable by just playing with it.<\/p>\n

The real brilliance of Clips is that you don’t even feel like you’re doing movie editing, but that’s exactly<\/em> what you’re doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
