Hey everyone and welcome back to another video on the fantastic video editing app for iPhone called splice in this video
we're going to be talking about some updates that have happened in the app since my last video on it and with that let's get
Right into the app. We're gonna press splice here
And in this video, we're not going to be doing a complete tutorial and overview of the app
I actually already have that video
You can find it in a link in the description below or up here in the info card on the screen if you want to
know
Everything about this app and explore all of its functions and learn how to use them. That is the video for you
But with this we're going to be talking about the updates that have happened in here that aren't in that
Overview and tutorial video because they hadn't been implemented yet. And with that. Let's start a new project with the plus sign here
I'm already in my favorites and I'm going to select this video here and this video here and I'm going to press next
And then here the first update to the app that wasn't in my previous video is the ability to toggle on
Animated photos by default and as you can see here
It says when enabled your photos will be animated by default if you want animated photos
This is the option for you, but I want to change my aspect ratio to square just because that's what I want
you can also change the project title and I'm going to press create it's going to make our
Project and load it up for us here
And now that we're in our project we can start talking about what I think are the biggest updates to this app since the complete
Overhaul that they had recently and those are the ability to extract audio and see the audio waveform
I know I have a complete video on extracting audio, but this is a video about updates
so we're going to talk about it here too and what I mean by that is that you now have the ability to completely
Separate the audio and the video portions of a specific clip and control them independently
So let's show you how to do that
and the first thing that we do as you see is we select the video that we want to extract audio from go down to
our controls here and slide all the way over and press extract as
you can see it brings up our audio and you can even see here now that it has a
Waveform in this waveform is a really great way to get a visual representation of what's going on in the audio of your clip now
What do I mean by controlling the audio and video independent of each other?
Well first let's show you how to select it to select the audio
All we have to do is press the little white square underneath the audio track in our project and if you look closely here
There's a little light blue line that represents
Where our audio actually takes place at but when we press this square you can see our audio is selected
We get all of our controls for the audio and we can see the waveform here
And this is a really great way to bring a visual element to the editing process
Because now instead of having to guess and check with our audio by editing it and then listening to it
We can actually get a visual representation of what's going on
Make our changes and we know that they're right from the beginning rather than having to guess and check like I said, so
What do I mean by?
independently controlling our video and audio portions of
This clip what I mean by that is that the developers of splice have listened to the requests of the people who use this app
And they've allowed you to be able to move the audio from a clip
To be underneath of another clip just like I did right there
now how I did that was pressing and holding on our extracted audio and just
Dragging it around and as you can see our video from that clip is unaffected
But the audio is between our two clips in this project. We can control the beginning in the end
and
it's just a
Really great feature that they've added in here and a lot of different people have asked for the ability to add audio from one clip
To the video of another well, it's finally here and it is awesome
and the fact that we can visually see the
Waveform and edit that way is just a huge update to this app that I'm really excited for now
Let's move on from talking about extracting audio and seeing audio
waveforms - what I think is the next biggest feature and update that they've added to this app since my last video and that is
The ability to add effects and as you can see here
There's a new icon in the bottom row called effects and if we press that icon
You can see that it adds the effect automatically to the video that our cursor is over or our playhead on the timeline
That is this orange line
That's in our timeline
If we have it over this clip like we do now it's going to add right there as you can see here
there are a few different effects that they've added in here chroma one through chroma for
Then glitch one through glitch three and vintage one through vintage three
and I personally think that these effects are pretty cool and they add an element to the video that we just
didn't have the ability to add before they had this feature and we can watch them and get a preview in real time and
As you can see here if we switched through them we can see the different effects that they have
I like the glitch effects personally because they have a moving element to them if we play it
You can see it here
Kind of looks like bad
tracking on a VHS tape if any of you remember those and there's just several different effects that we can add here and
It's pretty cool that they added this in there and we can control these effects
independently of our clips
So if we shorten it here we can have it only have this effect for this period of time and then it stops
So, theoretically if we deselect our effect here and select another effect, we can have two different effects here
so we can see that this one if we move it over can start right where that one ends and
Immediately we can just start layering things on there and get really creative and
Experimental with our video and I think there's a lot of people that are going to enjoy this and just for fun here
Let's see what happens if we overlap two effects
It works and it adds a
Completely different feel and element to our video than what was already there and in playing around here
It looks like there isn't a cap on how many you can add
I have seven eight. Let's go to ten
nine and
ten, we've got ten different effects on here and
We see no slowdown in playback
That's pretty impressive honestly, and with that I'm sure that the developers are going to be adding more effects to this
But the next update that I have to talk about has to do with transitions and is pretty simple
They just added a whole bunch more transitions that we can do in here
So we've got the ability now to have whip transitions
We've got blur in blur out and just a whole bunch of different transitions that you guys can now
Experiment with and just bring your videos to a whole nother level with these transitions
So let's just experiment because I want to see what the whip transition does. Whip up
That was honestly pretty cool. Look at that and
As always we have the ability to make it longer or shorter
Let's see what happens if we make it longer
That was honestly a really cool transition
So there's a whole bunch more for you guys to play with and experiment with
But that's not the last
Update that I have to talk about in this video from there
The next update that I want to talk about is actually the ability to reverse our audio or video in our project
So all we have to do to see that is select a piece of video or audio
Slide all the way over and right beside our extract button. We have a reverse button if we press it
It will reverse it does take a second to do
But it wasn't that long. It may take longer for longer clips. So that's to be expected. But as you can see
We're now riding backwards and as you can see here because this audio was extracted from the video
The reverse function did not have an effect on the audio in
Order to reverse your audio and your video at the same time
You'll need to keep them unex tracted and then press the reverse button
But if we slide over here and press reverse as you can see our big portion of our waveform moved to the left side
Which means that it is now
Reversed and you probably have already noticed that our audio does not line up with our video anymore because it was extracted
It did not get pulled with the video whenever we did the transition
so those should be pretty close and if we select our transition we can see that the audio starts right about at the beginning of
Our transition and now with all of these effects ten different effects on this video
We have a crazy transition here and a reversed video at the and let's play our project and see what we came up with here
This video did not have audio by the way
So we have a very experimental piece of video here
but after watching that it ended kind of
Abruptly, so as a bonus for those of you have stuck around to this point in the video
I'm going to show you a bonus tip of how to fade to black in the video since there is no built-in function for that
Yet I will probably make a standalone video for this
But for now, it's a bonus just for you guys
and in order to do this
What we need to do is select off of everything and add a title. It went to the beginning by default for us here
But what we're going to do is press on it and drag it all the way to the end
Then go to the beginning tap on our text and delete it and this is what we would do if it was at the beginning
As well. We're adding a title then deleting the text. Now you might be able to guess what we're gonna do here
We're gonna select the transition add a crossfade which it already did for us for some reason
But now we have a crossfade and as you could see it faded to black
I'm gonna extend the crossfade to one second here
And the last thing that we need to do is adjust the length of our blank piece of video and when we play it
It's gonna fade to black and there you go a fade to black in our video
So the last thing that I want to do here is add a fade to our audio as well and we can do that by
Selecting our audio than going to volume and pressing fade
And in order to actually hear the preview of the volume fading we have to export or do a final
Preview of our video by pressing the expand button here going to the beginning of our project and pressing play
And
As you could hear the fade was there
So with that we could export our video and we've got all of our different export settings here
I'm just gonna do the default press save. It's going to export and as you can see it has absolutely
no problem doing so with 10 effects the transition the audio being reversed the video being reversed and
Everything else that we did in this video
so with that being said if you guys enjoyed this video and you're new here hit the subscribe button down below so that hopefully you
Can catch the next splice tutorial I do make BMX videos like this, but I feel like you'll enjoy them
So hopefully you'll stick around and hopefully we'll see you in the next one. Thank you for watching and good. Bye
