Hey everyone and welcome back to another Tuesday tip where in this video we're going to be talking about
what I think is the most simple and easy to use video editor for iPhone and that is splice video editor and
maker splice recently has come out with a
Totally new update which overhauls the entire app
Which I have been using for probably six years now to edit all of my videos that I post on
Instagram and with that I thought it would be a perfect time to update my
Overview video on this app and go over the entire new app and go over everything that you need to know to use it
So with that
Let's click open here from the App Store and it brings you in to splice and this is what you're going to see
once you open it for the first time and go through the
Informational pages that come up first as you can see here
I've already got a project started but for the sake of this video
let's press the plus sign button and start a new project and here we're greeted with a screen that shows all of the videos and
Photos in our camera roll and up here in the center
You can touch where it says camera roll and you have access to all of the albums on your device
So we're going to go back to the camera roll and I'm going to select these two videos right here and then select
next so you'll obviously pick your videos and push next now here is the first
Difference between the previous version of this app. We are greeted with a title which we can name ourselves as well as the aspect ratio
Before there were a lot more settings than this so you can select portrait square or landscape
I'm going to assume that we're going to use this on Instagram. So I'm gonna choose square and we're going to click create
This place is going to load the media and we are greeted with the editor the top left corner
We've got an X to close out of the project. We'll jump right back in here
We move over to the right and we've got these settings for the project which is just our aspect ratio and our project name
We've also got the share button right beside that
Then we can move down into actually using the timeline itself. You just scrub through here
You can zoom in and out on it with two fingers
pinching to zoom
very nice functionality there, and it's very helpful to
Edit the length of your clip
This is also part of the timeline function and it's not within the rest of it you use
the end in the beginning of the clip itself, press and hold as close as you can to the line and
You'll see
That we edit the length of the clip by trimming it that way
We've also got the option to add fades in here so we can choose right in between
It highlights in blue and you'll see the type
It's got a few different types of transitions and fades as well as a random button
Automatically it chooses none for you
and when you do select a transition, for example the crossfade you can also change the duration from
0.1 seconds all the way up to
0.9 seconds
we're going to get rid of that transition here and
Move forward so as you can see, we have a new arrow up in the top left corner
This is our undo and redo buttons
so with that it gives us icons that shows us what we did and this is a
Huge update that I wish we would have had for years
I don't know if there's a limit to how many of these we will see because it goes all the way back to the creation
of the project
We can even go forward again. This is just an amazing function to have in this app
And I'm so glad that it has it and also tells us what we did exactly even with the numbers. I
Love this function
You can organize your Clips by pressing and holding on one just like in the previous
Version of the app and to delete one you can drag it down to the trashcan at the bottom and it will delete it
So from there we can move on to talking about this row of icons what they mean what they do as well as the video
Editing functions and that row of icons that come up whenever you select video audio or text and in here
we've got a whole bunch of different tabs at the bottom for a media music title sound effects voice and text and
Let's run through these right now. The first one is media when you press media
It's just going to bring up the exact same screen
We were just on so you could select any videos that you might want to bring in or pictures into the project
I'm gonna click cancel and from here
We'll move over to music music is the same as in the old version of the app
You've got lots of different options here
As well as the option to press on your iTunes and pick songs that are actually on your phone already
I'm gonna click cancel don't want to add music this time
Third in the row is the title function which we can press to add a title to the video
it's going to
Automatically add some blank space of video to the screen as well as our text element with this blank space you can change the color
To any one of these options here. So we're just going to pick this. Nice green one
We can also duplicate it which will just make a copy and then we can delete which we're going to do on our duplicate
Next we can double tap the screen to edit or we can push the edit button down here at the bottom
So I'm going to double tap and just call it
Title then we're gonna press the checkmark to accept the changes and from here
We've got all of these different title options at the bottom so we can change the color of the title as well
let's make that black we can change the font and there are a ton of
Fonts in here for you to choose from I'm going to choose that one. We can change the background color again
Except this time. We're changing just the background color of the
Text we can also affect the opacity of this background with this slider here
We can change the alignment of the text to left
centered or
Actually, it looks like it's not doing a ton right now. I haven't actually used this function yet
So let's add some more stuff here and see if we can get it to change
title
the video
Now let's try it
so it actually looks like this might be a buggy function of
The video either way, let's keep it centered for now
And this is actually a perfect time to say that there are bugs in working with this app. They just updated it
They had another update that came out today or yesterday and from here
There's just there's going to be small things that come up which you can report to them in the App Store
You can find their contact information and go about it that way so I'm here we can go to the opacity
Button, which will allow us to change the opacity of the entire title
Including the background and then this fade button here, which I haven't quite figured out what it does yet
It doesn't fade in or fade out the title
So I'm not sure if that's a bug either but it's there and in the future
I'm sure we will find out what it does
The functionality is there for you guys to learn about it in future updates when you're watching this
We also have another duplicate function. So we compress and duplicate and this will also make another
duplicate but this time of the title and to interchange between
Editing the different titles on the screen we can press the little T right here. That is below the title
And you can see that that's allowing us to switch back and forth between the two
I'm going to delete this copy up here
And if we want to get rid of everything here, all we have to do is press the title by pressing the little T
And then press Delete
Press the background and press and delete
it's that simple and the only difference between the title function in the function of the
Text that we're about to see within this is that it adds that blank space of video in the beginning
So after that, we've got sound effects. There's tons of different sound effects on the app already
Then we've got voice which is going to record voice over for the video. So
The phone is recording right now. Let's stop
so we've got a voice recording which we can change the volume speed as well as
changing the audio recording
We can duplicate it as well or we can delete it which I'm going to do right now
From there. We've got the text function. So this just does the exact same thing but without
Automatically inserting that blank space of video so we've got our title here or our text
because it's technically not a title in the app and
to move these around all you have to do is press and hold and you
Can move these to any point of the video you can adjust their starting and ending points
This is something that a ton of people
Asked about in my previous video about how you work with text in this app
And it is very simple to do now and with this text it has the exact same
Set of options because it is exactly the same. So I'm going to delete this text here and
Now we can press on the video itself
and with that we've got a whole bunch of options that come up for editing the video we can edit the volume and
Fade it in and out so we can use the slider as well as the buttons to fade in and out
The highlight and blue means that they are on
We can change the speed of the clip right here. We can go all the way from 10 times
speeding it up 10 times to
0.1 times and there's a force close of the app which like I said there are bugs with this app
And while we're waiting on the app to start back up here
I will say that I have had some issues in editing with this app since the update because we're only a week past the
original date of them updating with this huge overhaul
There's just going to be issues like this and we need to work through them and I'm sure by the time you're watching this video
In the future. These updates will have been worked through and fixed in subsequent updates moving forward
Let's go back to our video options and from here. We can change the speed
like I said moving on we can change filters which there are also a ton of in this app and then in
addition to this we also have
adjustments to the video
This is a huge update which I am so glad that they added we can adjust the brightness contrast saturation
sharpness temperature and hue of the video
This is a first for anything like this that I have heard of in a free app for iPhone
I have been waiting for something like this forever
So let's not do that on this one, but we can change it on this one. Let's adjust
The brightness let's make it a little bit brighter
Saturation obviously, we're going a little overboard here and also the sharpness because
This clip was shot in a lower quality
There we go. We've got adjustments after the adjustments
we have the ability to crop still which is also very easy to do and now they've given us some buttons for
fitting and
filling the screen
So if you're working with a video that doesn't match the aspect ratio of your project
You can fit it onto the screen in its original format
I want the fill option here and you can see the crop lines on the screen and just like in the previous
Version of the app you use two fingers to edit things and crop we can also
Rotate by rotating two fingers and the cool thing here is that it gives you a center guide
so if you get it centered perfectly we can see the cross on the screen that's telling us that it's exactly in the center or
We can keep it centered vertically
Or we can keep it centered horizontally
Right here just like this I
May have said those backwards
but that's okay so we can zoom in here and another way that we can get to this crop function is just by
Tapping on the screen twice it automatically brings up the crop function and from here
Let's move over to the transform options. We've got the ability to flip
Vertically, we can flip horizontally and we can rotate at 90 degree increments
both
Directions this is another huge thing that did not previously exist
With iPhone video editing apps on the free side of things from there. We can go to the animate function
This is something that I loved in the previous version, but forgot to cover in the video or just didn't know what it meant
so we can enable the Ken Burns effect, which is basically
Key framing in your video so you can select the start frame
we're gonna zoom way in and
then you can select the end frame which we can zoom out a little bit for and what it's going to do is
Automatically go from this frame to this frame within our video. So as you can see
It's zooming out
with the video
You can do this with anything you want you can rotate you can zoom in super far
It is a very valuable function to have and know how to use from there
We can change the background. So if we zoom
if we zoom out to where we have a background, we changed the background we can see that it is green now and
After that, we have the split function. This is where slow motion comes into play
so let's say that we want to add slow motion to this clip and we want to add it from this starting point right about
here to this ending point all we have to do which is so much easier than previous versions of this app is
Get to the starting point push split which automatically splits it into two different parts
Then we go to the end point push split again
And now it automatically selects are split portion. We can go back up to speed and
Slow it down
now
Instead of having to figure out things with numbers. It's just automatic and easy. So let's play it
boom
Easy slow motion that looks really good and is super intuitive to use after that in the project
The only other thing we have here is the delete function and that does it for all of the controls of the video
So now once your video is done, all you have to do is press the share button in the top corner
You can share it or you can save it. I'm going to save and it's going to export the video automatically
Before we have options for quality
I'm assuming it just export at the highest quality now leave every review if we want to I'm going to push no
Thanks, we can push share if we want to it's going to automatically export it again
But once it's done, it's going to bring up share options
Just like whenever you're sharing from your Photos app
So I'm gonna push cancel push done our video is done and that's gonna do it for this tutorial
I hope that you guys found it useful and if you have any issues with this app currently when you're watching it
Just report them to the developers
you can also leave a comment on this video and I will let you know how I got around the problem that you're having because
I most likely have encountered it using this app
Every single day and I will do so as soon as I possibly can if you guys enjoyed this video
Let me know in the comments subscribe if you're new and you might enjoy
BMX content because I know that this video is going to bring in a lot of non BMX people
I think you'll like my videos and I have other tips and tricks videos for apps just like this one for editing videos on
