Alternatives to IMovie for IPhone? (self.Blind)

Good afternoon everybody!

Does anyone know of any good alternatives to IMovie for the IPhone? I'm looking for an App, service, whatever, that will allow me to extend the duration of photos so I can slap some audio onto them and make a video from this process.

My vision has finally gotten to the point that trying to fiddle with camera setup and adjustment just isn't possible, and I don't have anyone sighted around to help me keep up with setting things up and adjusting things on the fly. And while I'm focusing more on podcasting and audio content than anything these days, I would still like to post things up on Youtube, my Facebook page, and Tiktok from time to time.

Sadly, IMovie for IPhone seems to not be able to do what I'm wanting to do, in an accessible manner, or so that's what I learned from the tech support people from Apple (both in the Accessibility and IMovie departments).

I currently have a Windows laptop (I also have a new Mac laptop, but I'm slowly learning how to use it and I have a feeling it's going to take months for me to get up to speed with it), and while I could just use Windows Movie Maker to edit videos like this, the quality of anything I make with it is kind of sub par in many ways. Plus, I'm already recording and editing all of my audio on my phone, I'd like to be able to do the same for the photo end of the video process, if at all possible.

Just in case the identity of my phone is important, I have a SE20 IPhone.

Thank you!

Also google says this: 1Choose Window→Photos.2Choose the photo you want from your iPhoto library or elsewhere.3Drag the selected picture to where you want it to appear in your project.4To change a photo's duration, click the Duration button in the lower-left corner of a photo clip and type in the new time in seconds.Or this: In the Project browser, double-click the clip whose duration you want to change.
In the inspector that opens, type the number of seconds you want the clip to last in the Duration field.


One of these should work, you'll just have to fiddle with it a little bit to figure it out with VoiceOver. It definitely works though.

You could try apple clips. You can put a photo or even multiple photos and put audio over it, also add stickers and other cool stuff. iMovie should be able to do what you need but I don't know how because I don't use it often enough. HTH
