If you want to exploit your creative side, you can make home videos with your iPhone and put background music in a really simple way. With the Apple editor it is true that it cannot be done natively, but we can resort to Clips. This is an application of the company itself that will allow us to make a good edition of our videos.
Export the videos to edit in Clips
In order to add music to a video, we first have to download the Clips application from the App Store, which is completely free. Once we open it from scratch we will be asked to import the material that we want to edit in a new project. Here are a variety of options to suit any situation:
- Scenes : thanks to artificial intelligence we can record different videos as if we had a chroma behind us. We can have the sea, a metropolis and even the millennium falcon in the background. With this we can create our new very funny and personalized clips.
- Camera : record a new video with the camera as it is, without any filter or scene.
- Library: if you want to choose a video that you have previously recorded, this is the option you are looking for. You will have access to all the folders you have created in the Photos application.
- Posters: Download a large selection of different content posters to customize all the videos you are making.
Obviously, as if it were a professional editing program, we can add different video fragments to merge them later. As we have previously said, we can take them from the library but if we opt for the rest of the options, they will always be applied by pressing and holding the central red recording button. When we release this button, the recording will stop and merge with the rest of the recordings that we have.
Add music to your creation
Once we have our project finished with all the clips we want, we can go to the upper right corner where we have an eighth note. If we click on it we can enter the music menu. Within this menu we have the possibility to choose from the application’s own catalog where there are endless songs that can be adjusted to your tastes or not. But if you are not convinced you can always go to the local Music library where the music that we have purchased on iTunes or transferred from our computer is included. Here we miss synchronizing with Apple Music to have a much broader and not so limited catalog.
Finish editing the video
Once the clips are already recorded and we have also included the background music, we can further customize the project. Next to the red recording button we have a colored star that will give way to the different filters that we can apply . Among the options we find it is worth adding different animojis where we show our personalities and even filters. It should be noted that the filters included are very different from those we have in the native Photos application.
But here there are no editing options since we can also include text, classic emojis from any social network and even Stickers. With all these tools we can have a very interesting result.
This application started with few tools, but Apple has been updating Clips giving it new editing options. We like this a lot since the operation that this application has on the iPhone and even on the iPad is quite good to be in the ecosystem.
