Matt Tinsley at TUAW, on Robert Stephens, who captured a huge fireball on his iPhone, edited the video on his iPad 2 and submitted it to news organizations:
Stephens says, “It was iPhone to connection kit to iPad to iMovie to CNN,” apparently all within around four minutes.
According to Stephens, had this all occurred prior to the release of the iPad 2 he would simply have uploaded the raw footage from his iPhone, but since he had the iPad 2 he was able to do all the editing using Apple’s new iMovie app for the iPad.
Stephens admits he’s no journalist, but thanks to the the iPhone and iPad (and iMovie) he was able to make a rather slick “citizen-journalism” report with a professionalism akin to the pros.
This type of citizen journalism is great.
