Along with iPhone 4, Apple introduced iMovie for iPhone at the Worldwide Developer Conference. Mac users are already familiar with what iMovie is and what it does but others may not be. With an iPhone that is capable of shooting 720p high definition video, it makes complete sense to have a fully functional video editing software that lets you produce a proper movie on the go.
iMovie for iPhone lets you combine newly recorded videos as well as existing clips on the Camera Roll with your own photos and music right on the timeline. It works just like iMovie on the Mac, which may lead one to think that iMovie for Mac was designed with a touch interface in mind.
Moving all those clips, markers, transitions, titles, themes, and effects with a mouse pointer doesn't seem to be all that natural after you've used it for a while. On the iPhone however, they seem to feel at home, at least according to the on stage demo and the reactions of those who have tried the app at the conference.
