This app could be soooo much better. 1) It crops my videos when I upload them without me knowing until the upload is finished. You have to crop the original and guess what is ideal for the app in order to not have important parts cut out. This is annoying when it already takes so long for the app to upload some of the content. 2) It takes forever to upload videos and unable to retrieve larger files above 10min from what I observe. For an iPhone app, these videos should be available off top or some of the features in camera mode should be available (like speeding up the video) in order to make viewing it in iMovie easier. 3) downloads from iCloud take FOREVER… so don’t delete a video from your phone in the process of editing a project or it will frustrate you greatly. 4) SLLLLOOOOWWWW…. Oh my goodness!!!! 5) Always says there’s not enough memory on phone… even though there is.

Just fix this already… I’m over it. This is why I have issue with iPhone. I was good until I was reminded of these headaches dealing with creating/editing small videos. These apps should integrate better with the the phone or there is just no point in having them on the phone. Maybe iPhone overall is just slow. I’m starting to rethink this Apple thing. I have a 12 Pro and I’m sure the same issues exist on the 13.

This app is horrible. And I mean HORRIBLE. I used to use it to crop videos from the photos app on iphone but one day the option to do that disappeared from the photos app. So i went into the imovie app itself. Trying to crop the video itself was a pain. Trying to crop off just a few seconds took minutes because of lag. Once i was finally able to crop my video (i only needed to crop off around a minute) the change didn’t even save! Well it did. But it wouldn’t let me download or upload my edit at all! It would SHOW me the edit i made when i went to look at the video but when i downloaded the video it just gave me the original uncropped video. So i eventually found a strange work around where it would let me download my cropped video ONLY if i cropped it while selecting it as the video i want to edit. But get this. When i finally downloaded my cropped video it was completely horrendous! There were glitches EVERYWHERE. I swear to god looking at the video for too long would cause a seizure. The screen was constantly shaking and playing between the last few frames and the next making it a completely disoriented mess. Theres no way my file was corrupted because i was literally just trying to crop a screen recording. This app is horrible. Use something else.

Please, Please, Please Fix! I only use iMovie and usually love it...however, Since the latest update for my iPad that includes green screen there are a variety of issues making the app difficult to use....I feel very inconvenienced after having to start again and edit an hour long movie three times! Lagging start and editing, Greyed out clips and a black preview screen, glitches....overlays blacked out, some clips fine some blacked out, also after adding new clips to the edit when I press to play the movie it says it’s “downloading from iCloud” but it never does. I have iCloud Photo Library option on “Keep Originals”, and the iCloud option for iMovie off, yet it still tries to download from it. I even signed out of my device and but it gives the same message. If all the clips used in the project are in full resolution on my iPad, I signed out of iCloud AND I had the setting on “keep originals” why is it still trying to download from this cloud?. The other perfectly fine clips also glitch and sometimes say the same message. All the clips ultimately alternate from being fine to acting out and being blacked out and glitching. Movie taking forever to load or freezing..have tried troubleshooting by restarting the movie from scratch...Same thing happening since update.
