However, in comparison with tools like HitFilm Express, iMovie post-production sound enhancement leaves something to be desired. Conveniently, iMovie includes a background noise reduction feature which automatically reduces static and hum, while preserving dialogue. Now, you can begin cutting a project on your iPhone or iPad, and then wirelessly transfer 4k videos, at 60 frames per second, via iCloud to your iMovie Mac dashboard application.īackground noise is the scourge of amateur movie makers who don’t have professional sound equipment. Happily, iMovie’s October 2020 iOS update to version 2.3 simplified the process.

Previously, it's been difficult to begin projects on the iPad and iPhone then transfer them to iMovie on Mac, where there’s more post-production editing tools. Although the iMovie Mac application remains better for completing your project, you can now seriously begin contemplating the style of your movie on the iOS versions of the app.

What’s more, you can now import, share, and edit HDR videos from the Photos library. You can now customize a title’s font, color, size and style, change the background color, and modify filter intensity with a slider. The October 2020 iOS iMovie update made it easier to create videos on your iPhone or iPad than previously. Although the generic quality of these soundtracks means you may prefer to import your own music, the horror soundtracks are our favorite, as they’re effective at setting viewers up for a fright.

Soundtracks are great for giving your movies an epic quality, no matter what genre you’re working with-whether that’s romance, horror, action or suspense. Although younger movie makers (we’re thinking teens) may find this feature enchanting, older filmmakers likely won’t try this gimmick more than once.ĭespite the two filters that weren’t included on the iOS update, those that opt to edit on their iPhones and iPads do benefit from 25 new soundtracks that weren’t included in the Mac update. IMovie’s August 2020 update (2.2.10 on iOS and 10.1.15 on Mac) brought a handful of new filters to the editing suite, three for iOS (Comic, Comic Mono, and Ink) and five for Mac (Comic, Comic Mono, Comic Vintage, Comic Sepia, and Ink).Īpply these filters to your movies to give them a gritty, illustrated effect, which makes them look as though they’ve been hand drawn.
