iPhone movies *** iMovie VS Reel Director ***

[fuzion11]

Here is a movie I made with iMovie.

hmmmm not sure why, but it didn't seem to play once it transferred me to youtube. I'd really like to see your movie, so I'll try it on my iPhone and see if that helps.

Thanks for posting.

EDIT: Nope actually it worked...just a slow internet connection I guess.

I use iMovie for iPhone and used ReelDirector on the iPad when I had it.

I used ReelDirector for 30min. 9min was spent trying to figure out how to get the tutorial movie to run, 1 min to render that tutorial, and 20 min to wait for the render.


I stopped using it.

One change, JUST ONE CHANGE, and you have to re-render ................ TO PREVIEW IT!


It was simply UNBELIEVABLE that I had to render the entire movie to observe the change(s) I'd made.

Oh and it didn't export in a large enough format anyway, much less HD.


Maybe it has changed, I don't know.

It does now. But your other concerns regarding the render time is right on the nose. It's a shame that it can't work on the fly like iMovie because then it would be the easy winner in my mind.

You make an excellent point regarding the rendering issue.

I'm going to write the developers and tell them pretty much what you just said. I think if they could fix that, things would be much better.
