The reel and cutting

Your clips are the film. The strip under the picture shows them, in the order they were filmed.

Watch your film

Swipe the strip of clips. Tap the first clip, at the left end, to start over.

• Play and pause: tap the picture. At the end, a tap plays it again.
• Scrub: drag sideways on the picture.
• Full screen: pinch out, and pinch in to come back.
• Back to the camera: tap the live picture at the end of the strip, or swipe to it.
• Runtime: tap the time at the top to see each clip's length under it.

Cut

Hold the picture, slide to the spot. Tap the piece to drop, then the scissors. While a cut waits, the X at the top right puts it away. Once made, a cut cannot be undone.

Select clips

Hold a clip in the strip; tap more to add. Then:

• Trash deletes them. It asks first, and it cannot be undone. A clip that is also in another project stays there.
• Share exports them, or offers only those clips to phones nearby.
• The plus makes a new project from them, and asks Copy or Move.

The order

Clips sort by when they were filmed, and you cannot rearrange them by hand. That is what lets clips from several people fall into one film by themselves.

Import clips

Tap the download mark at the top left and pick clips from other projects, then tap Import. It asks Copy or Move. Copy keeps them where they are too; Move takes them out of there. Neither makes a second file on your phone.

Projects

• Duplicate: press and hold a project on home. The new project shares the same clips, so there is still only one copy of each video.
• Delete: press and hold a project on home, then confirm. It cannot be undone.

If you have saved a project's film to Photos and changed nothing since, Delete says Saved to Photos. A clip leaves your phone only when you delete it, or delete the app, and its file only when no project uses it any more.
