If you want your video to include some video footage or photos that are already saved to your camera, you’ll be able to do so using the Green Screen effect—we’ll show you how in a moment!
The length you choose is the combined video length—each individual clip in your video can be as long as you want as long as the combined length doesn’t exceed the chosen length. You won’t have to fill up the entire selected length if you don’t want to—for example, if your combined clips only go to 2 minutes and you chose 3m, there won’t be a bunch of space at the end.

When you’re finished recording, a bar will appear at the top of the screen indicating the first recorded clip’s percentage of the total video. If you want to erase the last segment you recorded, tap the back arrow with a x to the right of the red button to delete it.
Tap Effects at the bottom-left and swipe over to the Green Screen tab. Try the Green Screen Video effect (the icon of video with an arrow pointing up) to superimpose yourself in front of the video. If you don’t want to actually be in the video, just move your face out of the way while recording. Select a video or photo, trim to the desired length, and then tap Next. Tap and hold the red circle when you’re ready to record, and lift your finger when you’re done. There are many Green Screen effects you can try—play around!
If you’d like, you can change the effect (including removing the Green Screen) before you begin to record each clip. For example, if you used Green Screen or a funny face filter in the first clip but don’t want it in the next clip, tap Effects before recording, and either choose a different effect or tap the crossed-out circle to use no effects. Continue recording videos (or adding your own with Green Screen) until you’re ready to edit the final video.
If you don’t like it, tap the back arrow to return to the recording screen, and tap the back arrow with an X to record the last segment. You can only delete the last video segment, unfortunately—there’s no way to choose an earlier segment without deleting all of the ones that come after it.
On the Effects screen, swipe through the different types of effects, such as Trending, Motion, and Transition. To apply an effect to a specific part of the video, drag the slider to the place you want the effect to begin, then tap and hold the effect you want to use for the length you want to use it. Tap Save when you’re finished.
