    iPhone 13 Pro Best video editing software for iPhone 13 Pro?

    I got this phone specifically for video, for some work that has popped up, even treated myself to a DJI gimbal. I am trained in Adobe Premiere Pro editing software. Is there an app that can match this? I found one, and they want £10 a week! Yeah right! It was terrible anyway, I think you...

    Mac mini - for mild/moderate video editing

    Hi all, I do mild/moderate video editing (mainly HD with most videos under 5 minutes, but there is a chance that there may be some 4k in the future), and I'm considering the new M2 mini. Ideally, I would opt for the base model and upgrade to 16GB/512GB, but I need it by next week and can't wait...

    iMovie... What am I doing wrong?

    I've been using iMovie forever... since it first came out. I still have a copy of iMovie HD I use from time to time on an old G4 tower.

    Edit modern HD video on PowerPC G4

    Hi everyone! I'd like to know if anyone has used a PPC G4 recently to edit modern HD video shot on an iPhone? I filmed some shots in 1080p HD on my phone, but when I transfer these to my iBook G4, Final Cut can't read the file. I know this is due to the age of the encoders on OS X 10.4.11, but I...

    Monitor choice 4k

    Hi, I’m getting into video editing and I’d like to buy a 4k monitor but I understand these are problematic on Macs due to the issues with scaling. Is it true that fonts look way too small on the screens? I’m pretty old and now have to wear glasses and I peer at monitors even now. I was...

    Photos App Filters Outdated?

    I don’t remember the last time the filters in the Photos app got a refresh, but I feel like they’re due for one. I think Apple could really blow us all away with some professional options instead of what feels like 2010 Instagram looks.

    Post-Processing - Disable Scene Detection for Editing in Lightroom?

    Curious if it’s a good idea to disable Scene Detection in Camera settings if I edit most of my mobile photos in Lightroom. The idea being, I’m reducing the amount of automatic image processing in favor of my own. Curious if anyone has experimented with this, and what you would advise.

    Will Apple Revamp Photos Filters for iOS 14?

    I don’t know about everyone else, but while the stock filters in Apple Photos aren’t the worst in the world, they’re definitely not the best, and there’s no reason why Apple shouldn't have the best. I used the Photos plugin aspect of the Filmborn app for a while. I was able to easily edit...

    iPhone Is it just me or is the video timeline crop super frustrating in ios13?

    It's basically impossible to position the start and of the yellow slider. Wherever you leave them, they jump to somewhere else. And you can't move the white time slider if it's remotely close to the yellow slider, it just picks up whichever end of the yellow bar is nearest - which wouldn't be...

    All Devices Is Editing In Apple Photos Much Better In iOS 13?

    I currently edit my mobile photos in Lightroom for iOS. I would consider switching to editing in Apple's Photos app, especially now that iOS 13 introduces white balance and tint adjustments (what took so long?). The photo filters, however, still feel like they came straight out of a 2010 version...
