Apple Announces Clips For iOS
21 March 2017
Apple has introduced Clips, an iOS app designed to create "expressive videos" from video, photos and music. The videos can be shared through the Mssages app or on social networks. But it requires iOS 10.3, which has not yet been released.
The app features Live Titles, which makes it possible for you to create animated captions and titles using just your voice. Special "expressive" effects include comic book filters, speech bubbles, shapes and full-screen animated posters.
"Clips gives iPhone and iPad users a new way to express themselves through video and it's incredibly easy to use," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Apps Product Marketing. "The effects, filters and amazing new Live Titles we've designed for Clips let anyone make great-looking, easily sharable videos with just a few taps."
Clips will be available free on the App Store in April. It requires an iPhone 5s or later, the new 9.7-inch iPad, all iPad Air and iPad Pro models, iPad mini 2 and later and iPod touch 6th generation. Devices must be running iOS 10.3.

Apple Introduces Clips: The Fun, New Way to Create Expressive Videos on iOS
New App for iPhone & iPad is Incredibly Easy to Use & Introduces an Innovative Way to Create Animated Titles
CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Apple today introduced Clips, a new app that makes it quick and fun for anyone to create expressive videos on iPhone and iPad. The app features a unique design for combining video clips, photos and music into great-looking videos to share with friends through the Messages app or on Instagram, Facebook and other popular social networks.
Clips also introduces Live Titles, a breakthrough feature that lets users create animated captions and titles using just their voice. Fun effects including comic book filters, speech bubbles, shapes and full-screen animated posters help bring out the personality in videos made with Clips.
"Clips gives iPhone and iPad users a new way to express themselves through video and it's incredibly easy to use," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Apps Product Marketing. "The effects, filters and amazing new Live Titles we've designed for Clips let anyone make great-looking, easily sharable videos with just a few taps."
Clips lets users create multi-clip videos on iPhone or iPad without timelines, tracks or complicated editing tools. Touch and hold a single button to shoot live video and photos or add them from the Photo Library. Then add artistic filters, speech bubbles, shapes or emoji. Users can also add full-screen posters with animated backgrounds and customizable text. Clips has dozens of music soundtracks to choose from and they automatically adjust to match the length of a video.
With Live Titles in Clips, users can add animated captions and titles using just their voice. Captions are generated automatically as a user speaks and appear on screen perfectly synced with the user's voice. Users can mix and match different styles and tap any title to adjust text and punctuation or even add inline emoji. Live Titles supports 36 different languages.
Videos made with Clips can be shared directly to popular social networks and video Web sites, including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and more. When sharing with friends in Messages, Clips can suggest who to share with based on the people who appear in the video and the people a user shares with most often. When a suggested name is selected, Clips inserts the video right into Messages so it's ready to send with one tap.

Clips will be available on the App Store for free beginning in April and is compatible with iPhone 5s and later, the new 9.7-inch iPad, all iPad Air and iPad Pro models, iPad mini 2 and later and iPod touch 6th generation. Devices must be running iOS 10.3.
