How do I edit videos on ipad and iphone?
Is it possible to delete sections Q from the middle of a video on an Apple IOS device? If so, how do I do it? Jay Siena
The Photos app that’s built into A all iphones and ipads has a few simple video-editing tools, but you can only trim footage from either end of a video, so the opposite of what you want to do.
To cut content from the middle, you’ll need to use a more sophisticated videoediting app. Fortunately, Apple’s own imovie app can do the job. You may already have this installed on your IOS device but, if not, you can download it for free from www.snipca.com/38753.
First, in imovie, tap Create Project followed by Movie. Next, tap to select the video clip you wish to edit (see screenshot 1 ). The app will import it into imovie’s editing screen, which has a video-preview pane at the top and a timeline strip across the bottom with a time marker in the centre. If you move your finger across this timeline strip you’ll see that you can scroll (or ‘scrub’) through the video. Scrub through your video to find the start of the section you wish to cut, and position it below the central marker. Tap the timeline and some new controls will appear. Tap ‘Split’ to divide your video into two at the central marker.
Now find the end of the section you want to remove and follow the steps to create another split. Your original video will now be divided into three timeline sections (see screenshot 2 ). Finally, tap to select the middle section, then tap Delete followed by Done.
