Video collage templates on iPhone

A template does the design work for you: the layout, the motion and the timing are set, and you only drop in your clips. Video Grid Collage opens on a start screen full of them — here's what each kind does and how to make one your own.

Short answer: Video Grid Collage has ready-made templates on its start screen: 24 animated templates that slide, fade, zoom or pop your clips in, 20 puzzle templates that put one video together from pieces, 18 gradient layouts, 3 blend templates that mix clips with blend modes, 12 picture-in-picture layouts and 100 grid layouts. Pick one, add your clips and export — the first project is free.

Step by step

01

Pick a template

Open Video Grid Collage (free on the App Store). On the start screen, choose a template in Animated, Puzzle, Gradient, Blend or Picture in Picture — or a layout in Portrait, Landscape or Square.

02

Add your clips

Pick one clip for each frame. A puzzle template needs just one video or photo — it's cut into the pieces for you. A blend template takes two clips and puts the second on top of the first.

03

Make it yours

Select any frame and tap Animation to change its In and Out styles, Duration and Timing. Switch the arrangement under Grid → Layout or the shape under Aspect.

04

Add text and music

Tap Text for a title — it can be animated too — and Insert → Audio for a song.

05

Export

Export in up to 4K. Animated and puzzle templates are set to 60 fps for smooth motion.
