Editing video with the iPhone SE: Fix it in the post?

The challenge: editing video material produced on the iPhone SE on the device itself. The result: an unagitated action film. In between, there are hours of material viewing and somewhat tedious handling.

The video shoot with the ihone SE - Bike Action Video - has been completed by photographer Thomas and video producer Manuel. I can now edit 162 video clips into an action film. You might be thinking: "Oh, it's not that much, better too much footage than too little!" Yes, that's basically true, but I'm supposed to edit in 4K on this very iPhone SE and only have half an afternoon to do it.

Here's the setting:

Not quite a Hollywood blockbuster

Surprise?

I spend hours watching bike scenes, highlighting the strongest ones in terms of content and technology and putting it all together to create a well-rounded film. Looking at the end product, I would say that I have mastered the task with ease. I would even say that I could have edited the film Ong Bak, which has almost no VFX, on it. But I won't be editing any other films on a smartphone, the handling is too complicated for me.

What are your favourite action films?

For those who can't stand me, there's only bike action here: [[video:142938]]
