Make a Video on your iPhone

Tuesday Technology Tip

I downloaded this really cool app during our snow days.  It is called SPLICE and it is FREE!  I think I actually paid $1.99 to upgrade it to remove all ads though.

Here's what I did:
I took several videos of the girls playing in the snow.
I then opened SPLICE on my iPhone.  I clicked on the + sign to add a new project, I named my project, I chose HD/SD for project settings, chose HD (high definition), clicked DONE, clicked TITLE, added "Backyard Bobsledding" for  a opening text screen, clicked DONE, clicked DONE again to apply a 3 second setting to it, then tapped the + sign again to add another feature, tapped video/photo,  selected camera roll, then selected the video pieces I wanted in my video, tapped DONE, clicked YES for automatic transitions, waited while it loaded, then tapped the AUDIO button, then tapped either SPLICE LIBRARY or iPod library (wherever you want to select a song from), select your song, hit done, then DRAG your "song" up onto the storyboard and drag left to the beginning of your video and drop it.  Then hit preview, and if you are happy with it, export it!  It will take a few minutes to "render".
It will then be in your "Photos" folder where you can then email it to yourself or others!

It took me about an hour all together to do my first one.  After you figure it out - it comes easier!  Who would have thought you could make videos totally on your phone one day?!
Just click on the PLAY triangle below to play my Backyard Bobsledding video!  :)  The best part if the last 5 seconds!
