Ultimate Guide: How to Cut and Rearrange Clips on iPhone for Free
If you are a newbie into videography, you must be tired of repeated cutting and joining of video clips time and again. For instance, let’s say you do it on your PC then transfer it to your phone or upload it directly from your PC.

Now, if you want to speed up your process of trimming, joining, and rearranging video clips on your iPhone, you need something like FilmoraGo.
Here is how you can cut clip and rearrange it with others on your iPhone with ease!
