iMovie is a popular Apple app, allowing users to transform their own videos into exciting trailers, and edit their own videos with a range of tools. And now the app has been updated with a lot more to customize your videos.

Apple this week officially updated iMovie for iOS, bringing with it a whole host of new features and additions. Firs and foremost, the new version of iMovie adds a new green screen effect. With this, iMovie will make it easy to remove a background of a clip that was shot in front of either a green or blue screen. In addition to that, there is a slider that will allow the user to easily adjust the green screen effect with a strength slider and a 4-point mask.

That’s not all, though. Apple is also throwing in 80 new soundtracks from genres like pop, sentimental, chill, and others. These will automatically adjust to match the length of your movie, too.

There are a lot of bullet points with this latest release, which brings iMovie for iOS to version 2.2.7. Here’s the full changelog, courtesy of the official landing page for the app:

•Transform your video with the new green screen effect that lets you instantly remove the background of clips shot in front of a green or blue screen
