Hey, I see @sterrenkijker nailed it with the step-by-step instructions for cropping and trimming videos on iPhone using Photos app. They mentioned iMovie too, which is indeed great for more advanced editing. But you want another quick method without jumping between apps?
One thing they didn’t mention is the possibility to use third-party apps that can offer additional features if you’re finding the built-in apps a bit limited. For example, Splice and InShot are exceptional and user-friendly.
If you’re not keen on iMovie or diving into many steps, consider Clips, an Apple app designed for easy video edits.
Here’s a simplified overview:
-
Download Clips:
Head over to the App Store, search for Clips, and download it. -
Open the App:
Launch Clips and tap the ‘Library’ to import your video. -
Trim your Video:
Tap on the video, then use the yellow handles at the beginning and end of the timeline to trim your video. -
Add Text and Effects:
Clips allows you to add text, fun filters, and emojis easily. Perfect if you’re presenting to a younger audience or want to add a bit of flair. -
Export the Video:
Tap the share button and save it to your Photos library or share directly to your project platform.
The Clips app simplifies the process especially if you’re new to video editing or just need a quick, creative edit. Plus, it’s free!
Lastly, a little hack: If you’re editing a lot of videos regularly, it might be worth investing in a professional app like Adobe Premiere Rush. It offers more control and syncs seamlessly across multiple devices, enhancing your workflow across different projects.
Hope this helps with your project!
