Debated on the rating here. On one side it does a tremendous job fulfilling its purpose - yet has some limitations that could be overcome given how good these guys are.
pros:
fast
- good quality - limited loss when zooming
- Very good algorithm spotting transitions - dont fear shaky hands - its really good smoothing the edges
- fast - much faster while keeping very good quality than more limited apps
Cons:
- cant set video ratio - at least I couldnt find it
_ edits in real time but if you missed a frame to transition, it doesnt seem to allow you to go back in timeline and start from there. It seems to be stick wanting to keep what you did prior. Can be a bit frustrating. If you really messed up, easiest is to restart from scratch. I have many video editing apps on iPad - seems going back in timeline should be possible. This app seems to be push forward only.
Why I would pay 3 to 10 x for this app
_ resolve limitation above - key ones to recap are defining aspect ratio for project and being able to track back and start fresh from that timeline position
_ despite increasing capacity on iPads, when working with video, compression is weirdly forgotten - there is no way to add on a smooth - non limiting way - storage to IOS devices - thus, ability to compress would be highly welcomed - would pay a premium to any app that does it properly - none I know so far. Can be stand alone app or seems like a nice add on to this app given that developers are really smart.
Point is, its a pretty darn good app that does panning and zooming way better than any other app, but forgoes some obvious needs.
For what it is advertised to do, 5 stars
For what it should be - 3 stars because I trust they will work it out... Hate in-app purchases- but would gladly pay more for the desired capabilities
