As the reach and engagement of social videos grows, more influencers are looking for simple ways to create video content. With an iPhone, you can use photos to create a slideshow and upload it as a video file to various social channels. Color, text and music choices vary. Most free versions of slideshow apps include a watermark with the app company’s name. Paid versions remove all branding and expanded options. For influencers who’d like to create videos quickly and share them, consider these slideshow apps for iPhone users.
Adobe Spark Video
When you open the Adobe Spark app, you can add videos or photos, select a theme/text overlays, music or add your own voiceover to a video.
Price: Free Version/$9.99 month Premium Version
iMovie
Just like the free movie editor on Mac computers, iPhone users can add video clips or photos to an editing timeline.
The iMovie app allows you to add text to the bottom of the frame or the middle. Add music from the available sounds library or add your own.
For those who already use iMovie on a Mac computer the learning curve is small, but the text color is limited to white and text placement is limited to the bottom or middle of the frame.
Price: Free
Magisto
Although the Magisto app is a larger investment as a paid app, it’s options are expansive.
With Magisto the option to add a variety of text over images and videos is a draw. Research shows many Facebook videos are played with no sound which makes expressing your message through images and sound even more important.
Watch this explanation video made with the Magisto app.
