MovieSpirit and Pinnacle Studio

9/17/2017

Note: this is not a VS post. If you are a Pro video editor working on iPad, you have to download this 2 Apps…


I told you a lot of time that MovieSpirit was the best Video editor App. And it’s true. I use it everyday for this website. Despite this, when I am working as a casting editor, I am using Pinnacle Studio.
There are a few reasons for this...

The first one is that a transition in MovieSpirit is added to a clip. With Pinnacle you add it to your Timeline. Because of this its easier to create a full template with Pinnacle Studio.

The second reason is that Pinnacle Studio shows the waveform's clips. So, it's easy to check out the start and end clap of the casting director. Because of this, you can trim a clip without using the Audio.

The last thing is the Fade in & out for an Audio track.
In movie spirit you can not set separately the Fade in & out. So, if you a need a different settings for them you have to split the Audio.. When you have to go fast, it's a wast of time.

Now, let's see why I prefer to use MovieSpirit for my video demos....

With MovieSpirit you can add as many layers as you like. You can change the shape of each clips, and easily bring one to the front or to the background. You can also set the size of them.
Pinnacle comes with a Picture in Picture mode. 4 max. This is not so easy to use and less much powerful.
To change the size of a clip, you have to pinch it with Pinnacle. By doing this, your clip can rotate, and unfortunately there is no information displayed or guide line.

When I am working as a casting editor, I am not photographer, so I don't need tools to edit the image quality.
But for my personal videos or this website, it's not the same....
MovieSpirit comes with a lot of tools. Some are awesomes like the color splash mode, the chroma, the motion mode,...
Pinnacle without.
To conclude:
Both of these Apps are great, depending of what you have to do.
But MovieSpirit is much more powerful.
Another great thing with MovieSpirit is the render mode because it doen't have to be calculated each time that you want to share a video.
Both of these Apps allows you to import a PNG file.
Both of them comes with in app purchases. Only for creating Intros in MovieSpirit. In Pinnacle it's some functionalities. (Layers, titles...)


When I need to play a folk song, I am using my folk guitar.
A rock song, my electric guitar.
A movie track, my classical guitar.


It's the same for the Apps.

Hello DK
Thanks
II forgot to add the clickable links...
( at this moment, I can not make incomes with Apple, because I don't have a bank account... My Thaï friends too. Thailand is very weird for us western people. Most of the people doesn't have an ID, they can change their names as they like, and a lot of them doesn't have a bank account... But, I asked my "little sister" to become my casting editor assistant, so this week she will have an ID, a bank account too for the first time of her life and I will be able to make some incomes, to create a PayPal account and to open the Store...)
Thanks again
ATM?

Great article. Looking for troubleshooting tips. After editing all my video segments, I compiled my 53 minute video. But final product drops the sound at about the 20 minute point for no apparent reason. The rest of the video is silent. Sound works okay when playing video in the application project mode. Any suggestions to try? Oh, using MovieSpirit.

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
    6. My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
    7. If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
    8. All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
