Editing existing Videos on the Ipad using splice or Video Editor apps

Hi,

I've downloaded both of these apps, I have used Itunes to load my videos onto my I pad (in the correct Ipad format), yet these two apps don't seem to give me the option to browse to find them, and none of my videos appear in the "add" lists for either app.

They are listed on my itunes movie list, and I copied them successfully to the IPad, but I can't find a way to get them loaded into either app to edit them.

Any Help?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1.1

You don't.

Apps are not given access to your iTunes library.

You will need to put the video directly in the app or figure out how to get it into the camera roll.

Thanks, that helps. I'm new to the IPad and I was not aware Apps are denied access to the ITL.

Avid Studio can access synched videos in your Videos library, not only in the Camera Roll. (And it's a pretty decent app.) Give it a try.

Note that it can't access protected videos (non-music videos you've purchased from the iTunes store.)

THESE apps can't access the ITL. There are apps (among other things, Avid Studio), however, that can.

I read the reviews on Avid. Lots of positives but also lots of negatives and almost all of the negatives are that on the new IPAD it crashes a lot. All of these reviews were fairly recent, not sure if it's an issue they will be dealing with, but out of 100 reviews 35 are negative and talk about it crashing over and over.

Checke d out the US comments at AppStore - yup, some users (even ones with the iPad 3) indeed complain about crashes. Dunno - it havent ever crashed on me (non-jailbroken iPad 3 with officially purchased Avid Studio). Nevertheless, I've never tried to create longer videos than some 4-5 minutes in it and haven't had more than 2-3 archived projects in it. Either of these may have been the cause for crashes (or those peoples' jailbreak? Dunno.)
