We know the basic principle about theiMovie iPhone app , but apparently news siteTidBITShas uncovered a few additional details through some generator within Apple :

iMovie for iPhone will require the iPhone 4 , and will not be available for the iPhone 3GS . Handling television and creating real - clock time transition ask the power of the iPhone 4 ’s A4 CPU .
Although the iPad go the A4 processor , the app wo n’t ply on that twist . I suspect the app is tailored to the iPhone 4 ’s high-pitched - denseness screen , and therefore would n’t work within the iPad ’s pixel - doubled compatibility musical mode . ( I ’d be very surprised if an iMovie for iPad interlingual rendition does n’t appear at some point , possibly with the release of iOS 4 for the iPad in a few month . )
project edited on the iPhone can not “ currently ” be transferred to iMovie on the Mac for further redaction ; projects stay on the speech sound . ( The edited movies can be exported or synchronize to iTunes , however . )
Video time can be put down straight within iMovie for iPhone or come from the Camera Roll ( clips antecedently shot using the phone ’s built - in photographic camera ) . Based on how the Camera Roll go , I mistrust it may also be potential to work with clips you ’ve spud elsewhere by emailing them from your computing machine to the iPhone , then saving the affixation to the Camera Roll . The clip would need to be properly format as H.264 videos ( and without having the software or an iPhone 4 to prove , I do n’t know which specification that mean ) .
iMovie for iPhone is scheduled to ship 3 May 2025 to coincide with the launch of the iPhone 4 .
That ’s all for now . Guess we ’ll be waiting nearly two more calendar week to find out everything else . [ TidBITS ]
