  3. Tap ‹ or › at the ends of the timeline to step one frame back or forward. Hold one to keep stepping.
  4. Drag the filmstrip under the picture to move through the video. Tap it to jump.
  5. Tap EDIT to show the study tools.
  6. Under SPEED, tap 0.25×, 0.5×, 0.75× or 1×.
  7. Tap LOOP to play it again and again.

Always there

Behind EDIT

  • Rotate: turns the picture a quarter turn each tap. The file itself does not change.
  • LOOP and SPEED. The app remembers both for each video.
  • Handles, START, END, undo and redo, and SET AS CLIP. These pick a part of the video. See Save a clip as its own video.

The app remembers if you leave EDIT open. The first time, a short tip explains the handles. Tap Got it to close it.
