A new 3.0 update is available for iMovie on iPhone and iPad, making it "easier than ever to create beautifully edited videos," according to Apple.

Editing video on an iPhone or iPad may not be quite as fluid as it is on a computer, but iMovie 3.0 aims to make basic video editing much easier on smaller devices. The new update adds a number of new features designed specifically to help you put together a project or automatically create one for you from your photo library. Once created, videos can then be shared via iMovie directly to Messages, Mail, or across various social platforms.

Storyboards replace the blank movie timeline you normally see when starting a new project with a selection of up to 20 different storyboards that can serve as a sort of loose guide. Themes range from video styles like news stories to product reviews, and each offers a recommended shot list to keep you on track. Temporary thumbnails also provide hints and recommendations for corresponding shots, and you’re free to rearrange a storyboard’s shot order (and add/remove shots) as you see fit.

Magic Movie, on the other hand, takes almost complete control of generating videos for you by accessing your photo library and albums. All you have to do is select the album (or individual photos) you want to use, and Magic Movie takes care of the rest, including music, titles, and transitions. Once you're done, you can make any adjustments you want, including minor edits, rearranging clips, adding styles, or removing bits you don't want.
