iMovie Review - iOS video editor offers a surprising amount of flexibility
Intro: When Apple released iMovie for the iPhone 4 last year, I felt a palpable sense of longing. I was excited to have a mobile version of iMovie, but a video-editing app seemed ideally suited to work on the iPad’s large screen. I could easily imagine how it would work, and yet it ran only on the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch...
Final words: Apple's iMovie for iOS 1.2 is a friendly, easy-to-use app for the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch. It makes great use of the iPad 2’s large screen, lets you add portions of clips to the timeline, gives you five audio tracks along with multiple background audio clips, while its Precision Editor aids in editing cut points. This new version reinforces the value of an app that was already fun to use and capable enough to turn casual video clips into movies you want to share far and wide.

Apple iMovie for iPad 2
Intro: Like Pages, Keynote, and Numbers before it, iMovie -- along with GarageBand -- is the latest Mac application to make the journey over to the iPad. Unlike those other applications, iMovie arrived first on the iPhone and iPod touch before coming to the iPad 2 in a free update, making the existing application Universal and saving prior users from needing to pay twice. In gaining iPad 2 compatibility, iMovie also grew a new interface that sits somewhere between the limited iPhone version and the more robust Mac application. Notably, the app does not run properly on the original iPad...
Final words: While iMovie for iPad 2 might lack some of the more advanced features of its desktop counterpart—automatic camera shake correction and more fine grain audio controls come to mind—as well as broader codec support, what is here allows users to create nice-looking videos and home movies with minimal fuss. The workflow is actually far more satisfying than the typical editing suite, even including the desktop version of iMovie, because it’s so streamlined. Despite iMovie’s limitations, it’s undoubtedly the first must-have iPad app specific to the iPad 2, and might be enough to convince aspiring movie makers to make the jump to the new model, especially if Apple manages to expand its codec support to include video files shot by more popular DSLR cameras. That’s saying a lot for an app that costs only $5 and was a free upgrade for existing users, the affordable pricing and nice UI meriting our high recommendation despite its potentially troubling codec limitations. We’re genuinely excited to see where Apple takes it from here.

iMovie for iPad: It’s Fast, But Is it Functional? (Review)
Intro: We recently began featuring cool accessories and cases on iSmashPhone. It began with daily accessory posts and we have also started putting together short video reviews for some of these accessories. When iMovie for iPad was announced, we immediately thought of how awesome it would be to use the tablet as part of our workflow for creating these video reviews. Along the way we learned some of the negatives of iMovie for iPad (from here on out simply iMovie, unless otherwise noted)...
Final words: To be honest, we spent a lot of time figuring out how to work around iMovie’s limitation of not importing video from many popular cameras. More time than anyone should have to, again, the Apple Discussion forums show that this wasn’t limited to just us. However, once we figured out those little workarounds, and got through those pains, the process of editing was faster and easier than we’ve experienced on our 15-inch MacBook Pro (And that computer is no pushover. We estimate that conversion was at least 30 percent faster on the iPad).
Was the end video perfect? It was not, but it gave us the pleasure of being able to edit five videos in less than 30 minutes while lying in bed watching TV. So if you are willing to accept these shortcomings, iMovie is for you. Otherwise, you may have to wait for when this little $5 video editing program gets more features.
Let’s put it this way: Same stuff. It’s simple, it’s easy. Unfortunately, it’s missing a lot of options, but it gets the job done.

Hands on with iMovie for iPad
Intro: iMovie on the iPhone showed that a simplified video-editing app could work on an iOS device. With the release of the iPad 2, Apple’s also releasing an update to the $5 iMovie that lets it work on the iPad 2 as well. I used iMovie on my iPad 2 to edit a few video projects; here are my first impressions...
Final words: iMovie looks like a great way for someone traveling light to edit together home movies. The only thing that will really limit its use is the limited number of cameras that produce iMovie-compatible video files. (Presumably the existence of this product will spur camera-makers to make sure their devices create compatible files, at least as an option.) If you shoot most of your home movies on your iPhone already, though, you will have few complaints about iMovie on the iPad.

iMovie for iPad 2 review - video editing on the go
Intro: I got the chance to play around with Apple's iMovie for iPad application, and for a mobile video editor, iMovie definitely offers a pretty wide range of functionality. The layout is very similar to that of iMovie for Mac, with less functionality regarding titles, transitions, and precision editing. However, you can still produce a high-quality, well-edited video project straight from your tablet with iMovie for iPad...
Final words: Once a project is finished, you can view it within iMovie or share the finished project to a host of different platforms: your camera roll, Vimio, YouTube, Facebook, CNN iReport, and iTunes. The application costs $4.99, but for the functionality it brings, I would call that a more-than-reasonable price. The app is available for download from the Apple App Store for the iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), and the iPad 2.

iMovie for iPad 2 hands-on
Intro: One of the new apps for iPad 2 is iMovie. It was originally released for the iPhone 4 this past June, but Apple recently updated it as a universal app for iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPod touch 4. On the iPad 2, iMovie is fantastic...
Final words: I am very impressed with how well iMovie runs on the iPad 2. It responds well and performs tasks quickly. iMovie on the iPad may well become my primary video editing software – yes, I will chose it over iMovie ’11 on my Mac.

iMovie for iPad 2 Review
Intro: In its attempt to prove itself even more as a true mobile computing solution that’s ready to encompass more productivity aspects, the iPad 2 is getting its own version of the Mac’s highly popular iMovie application. It allows you to intricately use the high definition capable video taking abilities to shoot memorable videos, but with the app, you can even edit them on the go. Set to the reasonable pricing of $4.99 through the App Store, it features some venerable and reliable video editing tools that can make your simple videos look as if they were professionally cut by a Hollywood editor...
Final words: Thanks to its easy learning curve, we basically managed to edit our videos without much falter and we’re just amazed by how good looking the final product is. In contrast though, it doesn’t feature the rich set of editing tools that are found with the Mac version – so for those really serious about video editing, it’s better to stick with its big brother. Nonetheless, it’s just nice to be given the opportunity of being able to edit videos lightly on the go – while still having results looking presentably sharp.

iMovie for iPad Review
Intro: If you were expecting a GarageBand-style triumph in the iMovie department, you might want to change the channel. iMovie 1.2 is the same B-grade iMovie with a Hollywood facelift...
Final words: While iMovie is easy enough for beginners to understand, its frustrating lack of options and complicated ways of doing simple things make this app a box-office bust.
