Our iPhones are like appendages, extensions of our bodies. We use them to express ourselves through words, pictures, and gestures. As a result, the medium we use to express ourselves is literally at our fingertips. Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook are vehicles for reaching our audience, but Clips by Apple is the creative means by which you can share your imagination with the world. Designed to integrate into education and social media platforms, users can create instructive and imaginative videos using special features like "Live Titles" which utilizes speech-to-text to animate the use of the spoken word. Record yourself or any content you add from your library and Clips will help you do the rest. After recording, add fun and zany title clips or posters, music, and effects like animated labels, stickers, and emoji. It's common to share our content through digital media, but it's rare to do it with style. Check out our review on YouTube.
