Link to iMovie in Photo Library in iOS 15

Since the update to ios 15 the link to iMovie, in the Photo Library, disappeared. While editing a video in Photo Library there was a link to iMovie in the right upper corner of the screen. Now it’s not possible anymore to open a portrait video while using Photo Library and edit it within iMovie to add for example music from the Music Library. Will this be back in the near future or will there be an other solution?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

i too used this every single day. a quick and effortless way to add music to video clips. i'm astounded this has happened; i lost all creativity for just the small things that keep me happy. is anyone aware of any other apps that allow you to add music to video clips in an effortless fashion like what was lost here? i tried clips and iMovie native app and it's just frustratingly waste of time.


i wish i would have known of this before upgrading to 15.x. such a simple feature yet it was my everything.

it is excruciating to have something that was working, Working quite well i must add, suddenly without explanation disappear. What an awful mistake to all the creative intent in the world What a foul move towards all that is good and proper. U prob gave that a person a raise. Or wait the CEO of youtube convinced you that to offer such ease of workflow was contributing to a more dangerous youtube. Do you know why censorship is going to Hi, i like yer profile, write me back if you want to start a conversation. xxxxxxx Hi, i like yer profile, write me back if you want to start a conversation. cxx xxxxxxx Hi, i like yer profile, write me back if you want to start a conversation. cxxxxx cxxx. Yeah its like that. Censorship is the truly dangerous thing happening on youtube not the logical ease of editing video through photo app options extension. I recommend ending the employees responsible for this downgrades career with apple. Some one needs to be held accountable for all the madness of being unablen to perform something u have done thinking its your fault like im off my game how did i do that the countless angry hours looking it up. The missing imovie edit option in photos its a headaches to find the correct words The waste of time writing this. The resounding Lose/lose/lose The evil alphabet wins but they really really need a replacement CEO at youtube. Before she single handedly destroys all freedom of expression not made for kids. No one goes to youtube to be in a safe

place

not even the children.

thats my remote view

stepping off the soapbox

Feels like they make so much money they have to do these things so they look busy. And it feels like kids are doing this, not adults.


I have the same issue with closing tabs on my phone. Last phone, 12, used to take two moves. Now you click edit, select Select Tabs or Close All Tabs, then click on the circle upper right in each tab, then click Close Tab, then click Close 1 Tab or Cancel, then click Done. WTF??? I am getting physical injury anymore from my phone. Never been with Android, but friends say it is same problem with constant changing.

I'm jealous and impressed. Now if Apple would do that for me, after all, they sold it to me, then took it away. Just like Adobe took back my $500 Photoshop. Just like Apple made 5 more clicks to closing out pages just so you can get carpal tunnel and give in to Siri. Never! Guess next upgrade I should read the small print, as if they put in there what they are taking away. "Are you sure?" ha ha ha
