Fortunately Apple's iPad, 2 packed for this two-week New Zealand trip. It included the use of e-mail and Skype, plan trips, play endless hours of Angry Birds and shoot and edit HD video on the go.IPad, 's nearly 10-inch screen was a natural sexy to review homemade videos directly on site. Bystanders were amazed when showed newly conquered footage of erupting geysers or Kiwi bungee jumpers.And involvement of Apple's $ 4.99 iMovie app ReelDirector and rival video programs and joint, you can enable these small productions in mini video postcard. IT's then using to get them right to Facebook directly from room Motel. You don't have to wait until you get home. Nor have you worry that your creation will always be rotting in your camera.New Zealand trip gave four finished the iPad,-produced pieces. It would have been better had it been possible to include the video clips shot and imported from other cameras to iPad,. But they don t work in iMovie without going through a serious solution. For more information about this in a moment.First let's talk about the iPad, 2 as a video recording device. The pros are large: the big screen, immediate satisfaction, exceptional video quality in good light. But cons are many: no flash, no Zoom and it's bulky. It does not fit in a pocket or tote. There's no tripod mount for it either, so that your finished video can get very shaky. And unsteadiness are much more on the larger screen.That the issue can be fixed by using instant messaging and positioning of the iPad, on crutches, a fence, a desk, ground, something to keep it steady.On the journey, were also point-and-shoot cameras from Canon, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic, together, are testing for future review, and had all the features the iPad, lacks: Zoom, flash, tripod mounts, removable memory and better lenses.In each case was the video quality from cameras sharper and sharper, especially on Canon PowerShot S95.But no one had the huge Tablet screen to watch the video. Neither the add-on features that people love about the iPad, as the browser and all of these apps. And you can t make a video on a Canon camera, edit it directly on the site, click a button and send it directly to Facebook. So let s go back to the main process for editing. Apple's iMovie, mobile was introduced for the iPhone 4 2010, is built a nifty little program that will trim the excess from your clips and bring into menus, titles, music and sound effects. You will also have the opportunity to record narrations for the narration. But it has some shortcomings.In iMovie, you begin with your raw video and Apple gives you three choices: videos, probably from the iPad, photos from camera roll and music from your iPad, "The bad part is that you won t be able to access video clips shot on other cameras, and imported into the iPad,. So if you plan to edit on holiday, with different video sources, you're out of luck unless you also bring a laptop and that's a pain.Convert, you'll import the footage into a computer and iTunes, click the Advanced tab, and then click convert to iPad, tab. You ll need to synchronize mobile and iPad, to get the video back on the tablet.This step was particularly frustrating, as the clips from Canon and Nikon cameras had already been imported and played just fine on the iPad, but was non-existent in iMovie, I thought, the App Store offers other video applications. Yet there are only a few video editing tools that make that has both a free version but you will need to spend for transitions, background music, and other features and ReelDirector, which goes for $ 1.99, top of the list. Both came in handy on the go through point-and-shoot camera film along with the iPad, footage.These programmes are bare-Bones compared to iMovie, but. ReelDirector is better of the two, but unlike iMovie, you get no menus, audio editing controls or a click additions here.Still, after spending time editing with the iPad, 2 when it came out, then in New Zealand travel videos, here's it would be nice to see in iMovie: simple trimming of videos, more transitions, manual options in photo zooms, more menu Choices, better control of video titles and more fadeout controls.Let s face it, however. Most people may never edit their films. So easy to get the software on a device that allows you to edit anywhere, as well as the iPad, and will hopefully result in more polished videos. This is a good start.But just as with the games, which bring you in for a small fee, then sell you extension, Apple can only have a good market for iMovie completion, using either tool, or a more stable iMovie Pro version.Here's a customer ready to fork over another $ 5 or more before you start the next video.Visit our FAQ for more information about reprints and permissions.
