The Digital Consultant

I heard about ReelDirector by Nexvio on MacBreak Weekly 163 when Leo Laporte made it his "pick of the week." and purchased it almost immediately. (I don't exactly fall into the category of impulse buyer so that should be enough of an endorsement right there!) ReelDirector (available in iTunes store for AU$9.99) is a very capable video editing application that has been released this month for the iPhone 3GS. It covers almost all of the features you could want. Trim video, add titles, transitions and adding and reordering of clips. The only minor complaints are it can't access photos or audio tracks from the iPhone for digital stories and mixing into your projects. But according to Hongyu Ch, president at Nexvio given the lack of API support at the minute from Apple they have done well to get this far and development of the application is continuing.

There are plenty of other sites that will give more detailed description of the features and limitations of ReelDirector so I there is no need for me to repeat stuff here (I believe in outsourcing!) but I am genuinely excited about the impact this application may have, especially for the education market (more on this later).

I strongly recommend ReelDirector to anyone who has ever contemplated shooting video with their iPhone.
