- Apply new 8-bit and 3D-styled stickers to add emphasis to your videos
- Create songs in GarageBand and other music apps, then add them directly to new or existing Clips projects
- Duplicate and rename projects
- Share projects with friends via AirDrop or email, save them to Files, or upload them to cloud storage services with share extensions
- ClassKit support lets students deliver video assignments to teachers using the Schoolwork app
AppleIf you already have Clips installed, you can install the update by launching the App Store app, and then tap on Updates at the bottom of the screen.
