Tips and tricks for using iMovie on the iPhone

A great feature on the iPhone 4 is the ability to record HD video, and now with the iMovie App you can edit videos right on your phone!  Take a look at the application below for a peek into iMovie on the iPhone.

With the ability to record and edit HD video on such a mobile device and without requiring any other equipment you can pretty much produce your own video anywhere.  Imagine being able to send a personalized follow up video minutes after meeting someone!   This is a great way to get people to engage with you.  You don’t need to be a professional to record video, and now all you need is your phone.

If you’re planning on recording with the iPhone, here are a few tips and tricks to consider when recording:

• Only the camera on the back is an HD camera.  The front facing camera is not HD and is not widescreen.
• There is an LED flash you can turn on when recording video with the rear camera.  Great for low light areas or finding your keys under the couch.
• There is no stabilization feature.  Try placing it on something sturdy or holding it with your hand placed on something solid.
• The microphone is on the bottom.  If you are holding the phone from the bottom when recording you may be covering the mic and in turn muffling your audio.
• You will need a computer to pull the HD footage off the phone.  Email, MMS, and Mobile Me uploading will compress the video.
• You can add your own music when editing as long as it’s not Rights Protected.
• Remember to have fun.  You’re going to make mistakes, everyone does, and no one gets it right the first time.  Stay positive so when you do get it right you look positive and wont send the wrong message to the people watching your video.
