## What is AddMovie?

Combine videos, Live Photos, and still photos into a single video. Add wipe transitions and audio to the soundtrack. Reverse video and audio for creative effects. Trim video and audio together, or use the First Selected Media Item Audio option for actions like Replace Audio, Add Audio, or Add Audio From Current Time.

Live Photos and still images are automatically converted to video, enabling powerful editing actions such as filtering, trimming, cropping, rotating, labeling, and overlaying. Combine multiple videos using layouts like side-by-side, stacked, grids, or sliding conveyors.

At the top of the screen, a picker displays your photo albums. Tap an album to browse its contents in the scrollable media collection below. Tap a media item to add it to your project. Use the media actions menu—accessed from the rightmost button—to import from iCloud, paste new media, or merge items.

AddMovie also supports importing media via share menus in other apps. Tap any media item to preview it, or tap and hold to open the video actions menu for editing.

AddMovie ensures video color accuracy by converting ProRes and other formats to H.264, providing the best compatibility across devices.

### 1/5 — No audio

*2022-07-08*

It had no audio and was super complicated

### 5/5 — Works

*2019-10-24*

Works

### 5/5 — Fun for Live Photo’s

*2018-09-04*

I use this app especially for Live Photo’s. What a nifty way to make videos of events. It’s particularly fun because Live Photo’s often contain unexpected moments and sounds. The method for sorting items by date is extremely useful. Just 10 Live Photo’s to quickly make 30 second videos. You can add background music and titles. There is so much to like about this app, like the random photo picker. Keep up the good work.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.7.2 — 2026-05-14

Quickly load all media items from a selected album.

Steps

1. Select an album from Shared Albums or My Albums.
2. Open the Media Actions menu using the gear icon in the bottom toolbar.
3. Tap Insert All Album Items.
4. Confirm the alert to insert all album items into the media collection view.

### 2.7 — 2025-12-22

- NEW - Video to GIF generation has a default mode, and an option to pick from a variety of sizes, including the actual video size.

- NEW - "Trim From & To Now" is a new menu item in the Edit submenu of the Video Actions Menu. This feature simultaneously trims the video to the current player time, and from the current player time, perfectly splitting the video into two non-overlapping segments. If you join these segments together using the Add function with no transition effects you will essentially get the original video back. 

- NEW - For more exact trimming, an update to the trimmer (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Trim) is the option for the increment (+) and decrement (-) buttons to advance the trimmer range by one frame at a time, as opposed to the current delta of one second, with the buttons titles subscripted with ‘F’ or ’S’ , respectively.

- NEW -  Toggle named ‘Include Last Frame” in the “Time Scale” and “Time Warp” (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Scale, Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Warp). When a video is resampled to achieve a specific frame rate, as these operations may do, the very last frame of the video may not be included in the result, because its frame time misses the sampling time grid. This feature forces the last frame to be included when it’s important to do so. (The duration of the resulting video will then not exactly match the scaled duration). Note: When the ‘Any’ frame rate option is selected for time warping the last frame is always included, hence the option is not available. 

- In the Time Scale view (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Scale) the display of the scale factor computed when choosing duration from the ‘Duration’ tab is now more precise when that factor is very small (as may be the case when scaling a long video to a very short duration). An alert is presented if the computed factor is 0.

- When a video contains no audio the Time Scale and Time Warp view emphasize that with an alert. (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Scale, Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Warp) 

- FIX - In the Time Warp view (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Warp) dragging on the audio plot view to scroll the video has been fixed, it was not properly scrolling the warped video when its duration has possibly changed from the original. Additionally the audio plot view updates properly for the option to not include audio in the warped video, or more generally when loading a video with no audio into the player. 

- NEW - As a convenience, in the Time Warp view (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Warp) after time warping a video a button labelled “Use Warped” will appear next to the export button for time warping the warped video, by loading it as the video to warp.

- CLARITY - In the Time Warp view (Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Warp) and its component preview view the warped video frame rate captions now display the actual frame rate that reflects the frame rate choice. Previously it displayed only the expected average frame rate for the ‘Any ‘ frame rate, i.e. when the warped video is not resampled to a specific frame rate. Note: time warping will naturally produce a variable rate video.

Previous version 2.6.9:

The 'Combine Conveyor' has a new option named 'Preserve Durations' in the 'Pick Items Duration' menu. If you select this menu item all videos will display at their full duration. The alternative (previous) options are 'Shortest' and 'Longest' which implement uniform duration by either truncating to the shortest video duration, or padding to the longest video duration. 

Access the combine conveyor feature from:  Main view toolbar > + > Combine & Sequence

Previous version 2.6.8:

• Added support for the dark appearance mode.

• Video resampling preserves original video size. (Access this function in Video Actions Menu: Edit > Resample)

### 2.6.9 — 2025-11-18

The 'Combine Conveyor' has a new option named 'Preserve Durations' in the 'Pick Items Duration' menu. If you select this menu item all videos will display at their full duration. The alternative (previous) options are 'Shortest' and 'Longest' which implement uniform duration by either truncating to the shortest video duration, or padding to the longest video duration. 

Additionally a new menu named 'Select Conveyor Easing' provides options that control the transition border's sliding speed. For example if you select 'Ease In-Out' then the speed each video slides into the next is slow at the start and end, but faster in between. Use two short videos to experiment with the various effects; combine them side by side to compare!

The 'Combine Conveyor Horizontal', and its vertical companion menu item 'Combine Conveyor Vertical', in the 'Combine & Sequence' menu present a series of menus to solicit various options, namely frame rate, item duration and easing. To bypass this series of menus a new quick menu option named 'Quick Combine Conveyor' is provided. When selected it immediately combines videos with these default values of the options:

Frame rate = 60
Item duration = Preserve duration
Easing = Linear (i.e. constant speed)

Access the combine conveyor feature from:  Main view toolbar > + > Combine & Sequence

Note that if no media items are selected then all of them will be combined, otherwise only the selected.

Previous version 2.6.8:

• Added support for the dark appearance mode.

• Video resampling preserves original video size. (Access this function in Video Actions Menu: Edit > Resample)

• When creating a video from a frame from the current player video, i.e.  frame video, the date of the frame video is set to match the date of the video it was extracted from. (Access this function in Video Actions Menu: Insert Video Frame)

• Overlay view was updated so that all previews match the video output better, and improved support for the 'Average' background color option (in the options view). (Access this function in Video Actions Menu: Edit > Overlay & Mask, or from the Media Actions Menu: Overlay Video. The options view is accessed from the main view toolbar.)

### 2.6.8 — 2025-11-06

• Added support for the dark appearance mode.

• Video resampling preserves original video size. (Access this function in Video Actions Menu: Insert Video Frame)

    Access from Toolbar > Options

• Photo to Video Zoom
––––––––––––––––––

Photo to Video converts static photos into videos upon load. It does not apply to Live Photos or videos - use the Video Actions Menu > Edit > Zoom for that.

––––––––––––––––––

Time Scale expands or contracts the duration of a video by a factor. 

In addition to specifying the time scale factor using a slider with values from 0.1 to 4:

    • Specify the scaled video duration with menus to pick specific hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.

    • Specify the scaled video duration by matching it to the first selected video not the player video (i.e. the video being scaled)

    Access from Video Actions Menu > Edit > Time Scale

• Video Zoom
––––––––––––––––––

Video Zoom zooms a video over its duration.

    • Zoom factor decimal between 1 and 8,  larger zooms faster or closer
    • Can focus zoom on a face, best face tracking for single face
    • Smoothing factor mitigates discontinuity of the zoom path
    • Zoom out option generates reverse zoom
    • Zoom out can be added either before or after the zoomed video

    • Loading videos is faster by combining some operations into one

    • On the Mac, features that require access to the file system has been fixed, such as for picking audio or video from the Media Actions Menu item ‘Import File…’

    • Sharing from other apps was fixed; due to a technicality involving restrictions on the interaction with such files

    • New ‘Media Actions Menu’ convenience item, ‘Show Video Player’ to show the player view. This can be useful when you need to get back to the video player without changing its player position, or video

    • When audio is imported from the ‘Media Actions Menu’ (‘Import File…’) a new option to replace the current player video audio with the selection if presented

    • The Ghost Trail menu items display an alert that ‘Ghost trails work best when the background is static, the foreground contains a single moving object.’

    • Added 'Delete Audio' button to Options view

    • When selecting audio in the options view it was previously not possible to pick the audio of the first selected item if it was the current player video
