Today, Apple is releasing a small update to the Clips app that will let you add little animated
Disney and Pixar stickers (Apple calls them “Overlays”) to your short videos. There are a handful of other new features, like a dedicated button for editing the “Live Title” transcriptions you can add to your videos and new “Posters.”
You’re forgiven if half of the above product references sound like random gibberish. Apple’s Clips app hasn’t broached the top of the App Store download charts very often (if at all) since its introduction this past March. So for the unfamiliar: Clips is essentially a new way to edit movies together on an iPhone (or iPad) that feels a little more native to a phone than iMovie.
It’s more powerful than what you can pull off in Instagram or Snapchat as a piece of video-editing software, but it’s essentially built off the same mindset. You shoot with with your phone’s camera, then you take those short clips and add stickers and filters and whatnot, and finally stitch them together into a short movie. The similarities end there, though. Clips is a standalone app without a social network to call its own, so you have to export those movies and then re-import them to Instagram or Facebook or Twitter or wherever. https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/20/16001028/apple-clips-disney-pixar-characters-app-mobile-video
