In a recent post on e-Learning Stuff I mentioned that Avid Studio was one of my favourite apps for the iPad.
Avid Studio – Many people think of the iPad as a consumption device, however with apps like Avid, the iPad becomes a creation tool. This is an excellent and very powerful video editing app. You can either import video or shoot video (using the iPad camera) and then do all the things you would expect in a video editing app. I like Avid’s traditional look and approach to video editing which is different to Apple’s iMovie app.
Corel have recently purchased Avid’s consumer video editing tools and as a result have rebranded Avid Studio as Pinnacle Studio. If you open up Avid Studio you get a pop up saying that it won’t get anymore support and you should download Pinnacle Studio. You might be a little upset as Avid Studio did cost £4.99. Well for the moment at least Pinnacle Studio is free (and is free to everyone).
Big-screen moviemaking comes to the touchscreen with Pinnacle® Studio for iPad. Our leading film-editing technology brings you an easy-to-use app that enables you to quickly edit video, audio, and photos at the speed of your creativity.
Swiftly arrange your clips in the Storyboard, make precision edits using the Timeline, and add high-quality transitions, effects, and a soundtrack. Enjoy 1080p output support and share your movie directly to YouTube, Facebook, Box and more—or export your project to Pinnacle® Studio for the PC and continue editing with even more advanced tools.
So if you are thinking about editing movies on your iPad and want something a little more traditional than iMovie (and is free) then you might want to look at Pinnacle Studio.
