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.

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><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"550\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pYyfNfx6zo0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/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.
