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.

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.
