Apple's latest iMovie update adds new features to help you create videos more quickly

Apple's new iMovie 3.0 update for iPhone and iPad includes a major new storyboard feature designed to make it easier to create videos with templates already built into the app.

Apple will offer 20 different templates covering multiple video types, including "cooking tutorials, Q&A, product reviews, news reports and more," Apple says in a press release. The storyboard will feature shot lists, an "illustrative thumbnail" and suggestions on how to shoot a clip, according to the release.

The new update also adds a feature Apple is calling Magic Movie, which can create videos from photos or images on the fly. “To create Magic Movie, a user simply selects an album, or any group of photos or images from their library, and Magic Movie instantly identifies and projects the best parts of the footage,” Apple says. Users can rearrange or delete clips if they wish.

The iMovie 3.0 update is now available for devices running iOS and iPadOS 15.2 or later. Apple teased these new features in March.
