Review: Edit and post iPhone videos with Givit

When we first reviewed VMIX Media’s free Givit video-sharing app for iPhone in July 2012, we focused on the service’s sharing capabilities—the ability to choose who can see the videos you shoot and share from your iPhone.

Since then, though, Givit has evolved. Users still control their ability to share—in fact, they have more control than ever. But the app has added video-editing capabilities that make it easier for users to share somewhat polished video creations with friends and family, instead of dumping raw footage on them.

At the center of the rebuilt app is a highlighting function. You can either select highlights from video already recorded on your phone, or tap a “highlight” button while shooting live video. (If a highlight catches you unexpectedly while recording, no problem: A second button lets you retroactively begin capturing the moment even while you’re in live recording mode.)
