Video Shooters That Compare Camcorders Should Also Want To Compare Editing Apps

By Fred Davies


People that want to compare camcorders should also be willing to compare editing apps. The iPad is a really great tool for editing home videos and this article is going to explain why editing can be so very important for home shooters in the first place.

The first thing that many readers are probably wondering is why editing is thought to be so important. Nobody likes to sit through hours of amateur footage just to appease the film maker. This is why clever shooters edit their videos into shorter and more watchable programs.

Real director is perhaps the app of choice for many users and there are several key reasons as to why. First of all this app is compatible with versions one and also two of the iPad. Users can edit through a simple drag and drop interface which works well for most home users. The only problem might arise from the fact that it is sometimes tough to see exactly how individual clips are being trimmed.

The app called iMovie is not a bad option, yet there are several things holding it behind real director. The drag and drop interface is the same as the one found in real director, yet this app is only compatible with version two of the iPad device. People that own version one cannot use it. Also consider that the cost for this app is a little bit higher than the cost for real director.

People that edit their movies on any type of computer system need to remember that they cannot immediately begin viewing the final cut as these projects have to first render. On most iPads rendering only takes slightly longer than the running time of the video which most people should find quite effective. Every little bit of work that is added to the time line must be re-rendered however.

In the past many people used to edit on their lab-top PC, yet editing on a device as small as the iPad is a much better idea. This is because the person that is shooting the home movies can often begin cutting them right away through the use of such a machine.

No person should compare camcorders without also comparing respective editing apps for the iPad. The two apps discussed within this article are the two most popular editing apps currently sold for the iPad device.
