Check out the video below to see it in action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple Clips\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-AS_SjWbvGQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a range of animated title and text slides, Clips allows you quickly produce a nice looking video for sharing on social media in very little time. Like with many video tools such as Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram you can add a variety of graphics. You can record a voice over and disregard the video audio, it also lets you import existing videos as well as recording straight from either your front or back camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simple to use, you just hold down the record button for as long as you want that particular element for, you can trim them afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3 key highlights: <\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding music. Clips comes with its own library of \u2018Soundtracks\u2019 covering many different genres and themes from pop to playful and holidays &amp; events.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Title slides that are very slick and add a touch of professionalism to your video.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Automatic transcription that is actually pretty accurate. Just select the style of how the text is displayed on screen, you can edit if it&#8217;s missed something. This is great because videos shared on social media are often watched without sound and it makes your video more accessible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Making a video in Apple Clips (no audio)\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pYyfNfx6zo0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is it free?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Will it work on my device?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clips is compatible with iPhone 5s or later, iPad Pro, iPad (5th generation), iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, and iPod touch (6th generation) and requires iOS 10.3 or later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where can I get the app?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clips is iOS only and available from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/clips\/id1212699939?v0=www-us-clips-app\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">App store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ideas for using Clips in learning and teaching<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create videos using Clips and use them:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To follow up on sticky points of seminars or lectures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To send out some questions ahead of a lecture or seminar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have students create video \u201cexplainers\u201d on the topic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Share Clips videos on social media for your module or course or department, such as a Twitter account.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What are the alternatives?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Clips is iOS only, here are some alternatives for Android phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.avcrbt.funimate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Funimate Video Effects &amp; Editor<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.magisto\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Magisto Video Editor &amp; maker<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.stupeflix.replay\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quick &#8211; Free Video Editor<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Want more help and info?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact Technology Enhanced Learning <\/span><a href=\"mailto:tel@sussex.ac.uk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tel@sussex.ac.uk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Canvas Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Places are filling up fast on our Canvas Fundamentals training workshops.
