Apple
Clips 2.0
Apple’s movie-mAking App for iPhone
and iPad, Clips, has received a major update – a
redesigned UI, new artistic effects and Star
Wars content. The app has also introduced
Selfie Scenes for iPhone X, a feature that plac-
es the user into an animated, 360-degree scene
when recording selfies. The Clips 2.0 is already
available for update on the App Store and will
work on iPhone 5s or later models, iPad Air and
iPad mini 2 and later models, running iOS 11
and later.
Using iPhoneX's TrueDepth camera system,
Selfie Scenes transports users into bustling
cities, serene landscapes, abstract paintings
and more. This is a full 360-degree experience,
which surrounds users on all sides as they
move. Currently, there are 10 Apple-designed
scenes, featuring unique locations, characters,
colours and visual styles plus two scenes from
‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’. The redesigned UI
comes with four prominent options – Scenes,
Camera, Library and Posters. Other features
such as Live Tiles are placed on the left of the
record icon, while labels, stickers and emojis
are clubbed on the right. Labeled buttons make
it easier than ever to edit Live Titles, add or
change filters, trim, mute and delete clips.
There are new artistic effects, too, that use
advanced machine learning and style transfer
technology to turn any photo or video into an oil
painting, vibrant water-colour or elegant pencil
sketch in real time while recording. There are
16 new Apple-designed stickers and 21 new
royalty-free soundtracks from indie artistes.
