You can change a video on your iPhone primarily by editing it using the Photos app. This allows you to trim, adjust the look, and apply filters.
Here's a breakdown of how to edit your video:
-
Open the Photos App: Locate and open the Photos app on your iPhone.
-
Select the Video: Find the video you want to change and tap on it to open it.
-
Tap Edit: In the upper-right corner of the screen, tap the "Edit" button.
-
Editing Options: You'll now have several editing options available:
- Trim: Drag the yellow arrows at the beginning or end of the timeline to shorten the video.
- Adjust: Tap the Adjust icon to modify the video's brightness, contrast, saturation, and more.
- Filters: Tap the Filters icon to apply different visual filters to your video.
- Rotate/Crop: Tap the Crop icon to rotate the video or adjust its aspect ratio.
-
Make Your Changes: Experiment with the different editing tools to achieve your desired look.
-
Save Your Changes:
- Save Video: Once you are satisfied with your edits, tap "Done" in the lower-right corner. This will save the changes to the original video (and create a trimmed version if you used the trim feature).
- Save Video as New Clip: If you prefer to keep the original video untouched, tap "Done", and then tap the three dots in the upper-right corner. Select "Save as New Clip". This will create a separate, edited copy of the video.
-
Reverting Changes: If you don't like the changes you've made, tap "Cancel" before saving. This will revert the video to its original state.
Alternative Editing Apps:
While the built-in Photos app provides basic editing capabilities, numerous third-party video editing apps offer more advanced features. Some popular options include:
- iMovie (Apple's free video editing app)
- LumaFusion
- InShot
- CapCut
These apps often provide features like multi-track editing, advanced color correction, audio editing, and special effects.
