IOS 13 Video trimming issues
There should be an option to save a trimmed video as a new clip, or to permanently trim it. I know the non-destructive editing is great but since there are no options around it, everyone will now be using a lot more space in iCloud storage and on their phones. There are at least a couple of use other cases here:
- There are multiple clips in a single long video that need to be trimmed out to a new file
- There is only one clip in a long file that needs to be trimmed and the rest can be thrown away.
I realize you can go to another editor, but that's what we always had so it's not an upgrade, and it's a lot more steps. All the marketing around the editor upgrade was that you no longer needed to go to an external editor, but now you actually have to go to an external editor more.
By far the worst offense though is that it's a lot ore work to keep your storage under control:
Old Workflow:
Hit Edit, drag sliders, click done. (Video saves a new clip). Delete original clip.
New Workflow:
Open iMovie app(for instance). Create project. Add video. Split start and end. Delete the parts you don't want. Go back (save). Touch "Share". Select Save. Delete project. Open Photos app. Delete original clip.
As you can see, it's not easier and if you don't do this for every video you will be using you cloud and phone storage faster. Please tell me there is a hidden setting to address this?
