When it comes to shooting or editing a video on mobile devices, the iPhone is the best choice one can have. A normal video may be shot on HD or 4K but won’t look presentable unless you edit it. On iPhones and iPad, you can use the Clips app to edit videos. In this guide, I will tell you how to add any effect or split a video on your Apple iPhone and iPad.
