Avid Studio for iPad allows users to begin editing with ease by offering
access to any videos, photos and audio already in their iPad library, or
media that can be imported from iTunes, cameras and more. Users can then
arrange clips in the Storyboard, make precision edits using the
Timeline, and enhance their movie creations with high-quality
transitions, effects and a soundtrack. They can then share movies
directly to YouTube, Facebook and more—or export projects to Avid
Studio software, where they can continue editing with even more
advanced tools on their PC. In addition, editing enthusiasts can get
started fast with an easy-to-understand how-to guide, included with the
app.
Avid Studio for iPad comes with innovative features to help any movie
enthusiast elevate their moviemaking, including:
-
Precision Editing Tools: Avid Studio for iPad is the only app
to offer a unique combination of Storyboard and Timeline features,
allowing users to arrange clips in the Storyboard, then edit like a
pro with the precision of the Timeline, which offers frame-by-frame
trimming capability. Avid Studio for iPad also takes full advantage of
touch capabilities to offer a fun, easy yet professional level editing
experience. For example, with a touch or swipe, users can easily
resize and rotate a title directly from the preview window, among
other functions.
-
Full Media Access: There are more creative options for editors,
with access to all kinds of media—video, audio or photos—in their iPad
library as well as access to media from devices via an iPad Camera
Connection Kit (sold separately) or from iTunes or other sources.
Users can also capture video and photos within the app for use in
their projects. The app also automatically recognizes imported media
that has been previously organized by albums, events, faces and
more—providing fast, easy access.
-
Easy Video and Audio Track Compositing: Users can unleash their
creativity by dropping one clip on top of the other in the Storyboard
to create a picture-in-picture effect or take advantage of the
professionally-designed animated montage themes to layer their photos
and videos, all included. Multiple audio tracks also allow for easy
layering of music, audio and sound effects to create movie soundtracks.
-
Export to Avid Studio for the PC: Avid Studio for iPad also
offers a bridge to the power of the desktop by offering a direct link
to Avid Studio software (for PC). Customers who use Avid Studio PC
desktop software can continue editing their projects with additional
powerful features including sophisticated photo and video correction
tools, unlimited timeline tracks, an impressive collection of included
content and more.
"More and more users are relying on mobile devices for media content
creation, viewing and sharing, and we're proud to deliver a feature-rich
new app that takes powerful Avid technology and adapts it specifically
