Hi, I’m a regular user of splice and I loved this app and used it for almost 8 month now. I liked this app so much that I purchased yearly subscription but I’m really disappointed 🙁cause its not working fast and efficiently anymore. Media files I want to work on, they take forever to upload to splice from gallery to work on. It’s happening for past month now. Earlier I was able to quickly transfer large files ,more than 30 min clips within seconds to splice and edit them. Now even if I make 5-10 min videos and try to transfer them to app for editing they just don’t transfer… Secondly I was able to edit my iPhone 13 pro max 4K video earlier now after editing I have to reduce quality to 1080p so I can save my edited video to upload on my socials. Kindly fix these issues… guide me or I’ll have to cancel my yearly subscription. For all these reasons I would give Splice ⭐️⭐️Thank you splice for resolving the matter. I feel splice has become better in past 2 months and I’m seeing some new features and music that i love. AI feature is Also great although i prefer to edit manually but hopefully I’ll get better with AI one day. Please increase music library and songs up to 3,4 minutes long. And make sure they can be used without any copyright infringements on all social media platforms.
I especially liked using the Ken Burns effect on still photos which worked much, much better - is far more versatile - and easier than its counterpart in iMovie. It’s relatively also easy to splice film clips together, too. Biggest complaint with upgrades made since summer 2019 is the loss of some of the holiday music (I had a hard time doing holiday video last Christmas) and other suitable music to use, and the loss of the feature which let you splice the free music together easily with fade-out options available at beginning and end. Also, most music supplied is too short (less than a minute) - my videos typically are 1-1/2 to 2-3/4 minutes in length. I now rarely use Splice’s music and have to import video clips I do here into iMovie or some other program to finish. Other complaint is not having special features with how text or titles displays such as the ability to have letters dropping down, or fading in and out, etc., like text features available on iMovie. However, I do like the colored text/type choices which can make text much easier to read on bright backgrounds. I also like the ease in selecting aspect ratio although it is limited to only 3 choices. Overall this is a nice, fairly easy to use editing package. I use it the most for animating static photos so they zoom in or out, move from side to side or even - on rare occasion - rotate, which is especially cool if done right.
Hi, thank you for writing to us. We regret to hear that you were disappointed in the new update. We 've worked very hard on it, so it makes us sad to know that it does not live up to your expectations. However, we appreciate to know what you think as well as the time you took to share it with us. We'd like you to know that it is only possible to use media files locally stored on your device, which means that you won't be able to use photos and videos saved in dropbox unless you also download it to your camera roll. We are sorry about this inconvenience but we'd like to offer to assist you with any further clarification you may need. Feel free to reach us by sending an email to reviews@bendingspoons.com.
This is a pretty amazing professional video editing app that has many of the features that you would expect from a professional video editing app! Even better, the app is so intuitive and so easy to use that you will feel like you are an expert of this app within just a few minutes of using it! It’s truly amazing! There is simply no comparison between this app and Apple’s iMovie. However, it could use a few small improvements, including more responsive technical support. We sent a few emails to technical support 4 or 5 days ago, and still haven’t heard back from them yet. Furthermore, the program makes some things more difficult than they need to be — for example, when you insert text onto a video clip, it ALWAYS makes the length of the text the ENTIRE LENGTH OF YOUR VIDEO CLIP with no quick way to change it. Other video editing apps insert text at just 5 seconds, and then you can quickly change it from there. There is also no way to pull the audio from a video clip and just use that audio as a narration track for other video clips. We also have continual difficulty trying to trim the end of a video clip by dragging the end of the video — this app often things that we are trying to MOVE the video clip. (We end up splitting and deleting to prevent this from happening.) Hopefully the team behind this app is listening and will continue to improve this app! It’s already an excellent app! :)

So I got in a fight with my husband. I needed a gesture to say “sorry.” I wanted to do something that was easy because I wasn’t that sorry… so I thought it would be really cool to do a video of our life together and pictures set to music. I looked up a few of the apps in my App Store download it about six of them that were free (including this one). I figured I would go into each one of them after they were through downloading and see which one would be the easiest to use so I could throw something together…Well three of them made me put in my credit card information to open the app and wanted me to subscribe… Guess what, that’s not free!! But I finally opened SPLICE and it was AWESOME! It had songs, literally thousands, to choose from and the songs were free!!! It was so easy to understand how to do it and it had everything you could want as far as effects and editing capabilities…The only complaint I have is that while putting together my video and watching the pictures of me and my husband float across the screen, to music I absolutely loved, I started feeling more sorry. Thank goodness that even though this was an easy project to do it looks like it took a long time and a lot of effort, so It will convey the appropriate amount of “sorry.” GET THIS APP!!!!!!!
I’ve been using Splice for about a year, and exporting has always been a problem. I’ve used Splice on my phone and iPad and have the same issue on both platforms. Just as I’m starting to export, the loading bar appears to show how long the export will take. Except nothing happens; the progress in the loading bar never moves and I sit waiting for several minutes of nothing. The only way I’m able to export is to constantly close and reopen the app, and hope that it will eventually work (it usually takes me 6-7 tries of this). Other than this the app isn’t really all that bad, the free features are decent enough. However, looking at the cost of premium, it is really quite ridiculous to charge that amount for this app. It’s about $10/per week, or about $40 a month for the premium subscription (that’s insane!!!) I use Adobe software on my computer and for access to the entirety of the Adobe library, I’m paying $30/month. There really is no comparison to the quality of this app versus Adobe, and if there were a mobile version of After Effects I would happily be using that instead. Definitely don’t recommend for someone like me who needs a simple yet solid app for editing content. HOWEVER: beware of CapCut!!!! Please read their terms of service before considering CapCut as an alternative (they can use any of your content without your consent for advertising or whatever else they want to use it for). Thanks for reading <3
I love this app. It is so easy and fun to use and I have been using it to make edits to keep for myself and share with my friends. I do not have a Splice Pro (the premium version you need to pay for) because I can’t exactly afford it. The last time I used this app was a few months ago, and I had no problems with it, and it was perfect. Today I decided I wanted to use it again, and made an edit, but then I came across a huge problem. The app doesn’t even let you save the video you made to your photo library unless you have Splice Pro. I tried to navigate this problem by screen recording, but it puts watermarks all over the video, making it really annoying to watch. I am very disappointed with this update to the app, and I understand that the developers need to make money, but the fact that we can’t even save our edits without paying is going too far in my opinion. This just made it so I can’t share the edit with anyone unless I show them in person (or pay the subscription). The subscription is usually around 5 dollars a week or so, and I don’t think I would be willing to pay 20 dollars a month for an app I don’t use that often. To the developers: I would recommend making certain filters and transitions and other things only available to premium members in return for making it so anyone can save their edits. Please consider it, sorry this paragraph is so long.
Hello, thank you so much for sharing your opinion with us. Our developers have put a lot of effort and hard work into continuously improving the quality of our service. For this reason, we decided to ask our users to pay for a subscription to benefit from the Pro features. If you wish not to subscribe, you're welcome to continue using the features that aren't marked with Pro. If you have any further feedback, don't hesitate to let us know at reviews@spliceapp.com. Thanks!
I downloaded this app 7 years ago and fell in love with video production and editing because of it. At the time, Splice had pretty much anything you needed without any subscriptions or purchases. Over the years there have been updates that have significantly improved the app and added features like chroma key. The app was in a constant rate of improvement up until i think 2021 or 2022. Up until then I used the app very frequently and made many projects but I eventually stopped using it. I would go on every couple months but rarely made projects. At some point I realized they added a subscription for the app but since I already had the app installed everything was available for me. I was happy about that since I felt that made sense. I went on the app recently to make a video for a friend and was pretty shocked to see how the app looked like an advertisement explosion for a pro subscription. Pop ups everywhere and limited features. I realized I had the base subscription which I was fine with since I assumed you would still be able to use the app. Almost all the important features now require the pro subscription. Transitions, Music, Captions all require the pro subscription. The worst part, you can’t even export your videos anymore. You need the pro subscription to even save the video you made. It’s sad since I really loved this app in its prime and hate to see it become this. Download capcut or adobe rush
Compared to all the other editing apps on the market for IPhones, this one was seemingly the best editing app BY FAR in terms of subscription pricing and efficiency. The app never crashed, the layout is very simple to understand, and it’s easy to get the hang of...but there’s a bug that literally made me go back to my original review and lower the amount of stars I gave it from 5 to 2. I’ve only been using this app for a couple of hours and I began to edit pretty large media files on it. Everything was going perfectly well and I was happy, but I soon realized that what I thought was my mistake was a bigger problem than it appeared to be. Whenever I add an audio clip over a video clip, the audio clip just remains at 100% volume no matter what I do and it’s so frustrating because there’s no reason why it should be doing that. I’ve checked that I lowered the volume, I’ve deleted the audio clip and replaced it, and still the audio was at 100% blasting volume, completely ruining hours of hard work. I can’t add in background music because of it. It’s so annoying because I spent so much time perfecting every little detail of the video but when I went to add in music or sound, there was nothing I could do. It’s very disappointing because this app is great and I really like it, but I’m definitely going to cancel my subscription after I finish writing this review.
Hi there! We apologize for this inconvenience you experienced and thank you for flagging our attention to it. The app should work in a way such that you can change the volume of video and audio clips separately. We want to investigate it further, and therefore, we invite you to send us an email to reviews@bendingspoons.com so that we can get a better understanding of the issue. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
I’ve invested 17 years into video production beginning on Sony Vegas while my go to is always Adobe Premier. I’ve never been able to spend much time using Final Cut but that’s just it, they are limiting their reach and that limits the creative content ability on a global basis! Splice has been top tier FIRST CLASS easy to use enabling anyone with extensive or limited experience to build masterpieces! I accidentally paid for a year on a trial and at first I was upset because i hasn’t even had a chance to use it yet. Once I had been charged it coerced my mind to try it now because I didn’t want to pay I think maybe $60 or something maybe $100 I can’t remember but I was happy as ever and I’ll be backing these engineers for life. As long as they don’t support Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Dean or David Nasser Basset and Department of Defense! Evil those people are and be careful as they will image your drive and replace your drive with their manipulated copy so keep a pixel encryption and close attention on Cloned signals like files out of place and file permissions and best thing is to keep it where they can’t even mess with it after they image it. They will almost always find ways to image it. So the trick is keeping it on lock down after imaging. Practice like that and they toast!
I am absolutely LOVING all of the new features, especially the fact that I can now use the text to make subtitles!! The design is sleek and modern, the view screen is bigger, there are more sound effects, I can crop it down to square size for Instagram, etc. I’m loving it!My only issues thus far have been with editing the music. I’m working on my big ‘ol iPad, yet I nonetheless have a reeeeeeeally hard time finding the hit box for the slide bar that’s supposed to help me “crop” the music. I end up just awkwardly moving it to the side instead of shortening or lengthening the clip, and it gets very frustrating. I had to get out my Apple Pencil in order to get the job done. The other thing I’m struggling with is that, with my projects, I usually work with small music segments. In the most recent one, I’m using only five seconds of the provided music. To do that, I unfortunately have to go aaaaaaaaall the way to the end of the video and drag it down to size little by little. Then again, I’m not sure if that’s because this app was made for bigger videos. Thus far, those are the only things I would change! This app is the greatest video editing app I’ve found up to date. I’ve been using it for about two years now. Thank you so much for providing this app!
