AddMovie

Audio Spectrogram update - The audio volume no longer tapers to zero at end. Fixes a possible termination issue when creating the initial spectrogram preview for very long audio files.

About Audio Spectrogram Videos : When AddMovie receives or selects an audio file a new menu is displayed that offers the option to create a video with the audio as the soundtrack and frames that display a progressive audio spectrogram. The spectrogram is synced with the audio as the video plays so that it displays the frequency spectrum for the recently playing section of audio.

Previous Updates:

Time scaling improved - process speed increased and memory requirements greatly reduced.

Time scale videos to expand or contract them from 0.1 to 2 times the original duration. Audio pitch is not preserved for creating audio effects.

Access via:

Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Scale

Select 'Time Scale' from the 'Edit' submenu of the 'Video Actions Menu'. To access the 'Video Actions Menu' tap and hold on player video to display menu.

Time scale audio recordings by applying this feature to audio videos created by importing audio files from the 'Media Actions Menu'. The Media Actions Menu is accessed from the rightmost button in the row of buttons at the bottom of the main view.

'Audio Video' generation - New option available when audio is imported into the app.

To create an audio video you can select 'Import File...' from the Media Actions Menu (rightmost button) to navigate Files for an audio file, or share an audio file from another app, such as the Files app or Messages. When the file is opened you will be presented with a menu that offers option 'Create Audio Video', as well as the previous ability to set the Options View audio to the audio, or create an Audio Spectrogram Video.

New menu items in the Media Actions Menu to select all portrait, all landscape or all items that match the size of the first selected item. This facilitates adding together only the current media that match these conditions.

AddMovie can now be used without access to the Photos Library enabled. For example you can use the 'Import File' menu item in the Media Actions Menu to load media from iCloud, or share media from other apps to AddMovie.

(The Media Actions Menu is accessed from the rightmost button in the row of buttons at the bottom of the main view.)

Improved support to create stop motion videos.

This is facilitated by a new option called 'Invert Duration' in the Options view.

Select this option to specify a silent audio duration that is the inverse of the duration slider's actual value.

This way you can make still photo videos with duration from 1/2 to 1/10 of a second long.

Still motion videos can then be generated by adding many such short videos together.

Also a new menu item was added to the Video Actions menu: Insert Video Frame.

This menu item will immediately insert the current player video frame into the media items using the silent audio duration. This may be used to facilitate creating a type of still motion video by manually subsampling a video with selected frames. (To access the 'Video Actions Menu' tap and hold on player video to display menu)

Additional music titles are now included in the app.

Other recent updates:

VIDEO COMPOSING: Extended to 3 videos at a time, vertical and horizontal.

VIDEO RESIZE : New edit menu item. Access the edit menu from the video actions menu using ‘tap and hold’ on the video player, or from the media action menu in the toolbar. Video resize can be employed for special effects using fractional sizes of ½, ⅓, ¼, ⅕, ⅙, ⅛, and ⅒ original width. Also various common device sizes, as well as size taken from image on clipboard.

CROP: Crop rectangle can be reset to original width, original height and centered.

OVERLAY: Additional overlay options including support for background images, operations to reset overlay to center horizontally or vertically, and reset scale or rotation. The ‘Select’ menu of operations has been reorganized into submenus for clarity.

PHOTO TO VIDEO: Conversion respects image sizes that match common video device sizes, which is useful for making app preview videos with video overlay and cropping. (Note: sometimes images loaded from the photos library may be downsized and smaller than expected: you can also import images from iCloud in the media action menu in the toolbar via the 'iCloud Import…' menu item.)

Video filtering sets a filtered video size that is more compatible with the particular filter, rather than the original video size. This is particularly better for the overlay filter.

Improved video color preservation during certain load and edit operations. And more:

The crop view has some new features including more built-in aspect ratios like 19.5:9, 1:2 and 2:1, submenus for more landscape and portrait built-in aspect ratios, and the ability to 'crop and insert' which will crop and insert the cropped video into your media items without leaving the crop view - so you can crop more.

Other new crop size menu items are '½ Width', '½ Height', and '½ and ½', and make it easy to crop to half the video vertically, horizontally or both.

In the trim view the increment buttons '+' and '-' will now translate endpoints of the selection right or left when both endpoints are selected, rather than shrink or grow it.

• Combining videos provides a new option to inset the videos creating a border between them.

Combine videos using the media action menu items ‘Combine 2 Horizontally’, ‘Combine 2 Vertically’ and ‘Combine 4 Square’. You are presented with an option to inset video frames over a white background to create white borders.

• The overlay view has been extend to support adding borders to overlays: either solid or shadowed with various widths.

• Overlay Videos: Create a video with one video over another, with an optional ‘looping’ effect, rotation, scaling, transparency and position - even ‘outside’ the other.

• Combine Videos: Create a video by combining 2 vertical, 2 horizontal or 4 square.

• New filter: Create a video with a ‘noise’ overlay and audio.

• New music - La Gatica acoustic guitar solo, new audio samples - harp, children laughing, cat meow, dog bark, static

• Albums displayed in media picker show the number of items.

• Access audio when you choose video action items ‘Add Audio From Current Time’, ‘Replace Audio’ or ‘Add Audio’. When you do so there is another option: 'First Selected Media Item'. You can use that to copy audio from one video to another.

• GIFs supported in overlay - use 'Select Overlay Photo' and pick from the 'Animated' album. It will be converted to a video and photo.
