Montaj Review
by Ada L. Restrepo-Mahmoud
Montaj comes from the word“Montage” – The technique of selecting, editing, and piecing together separate sections of film to form a continuous whole.
Montaj is an iPhone app that allows you to edit your iPhone videos with a simple shake of the wrist.It works by breaking your videos in five-second clips. When you have captured a bunch of short clips together on your phone you can then edit by creating a storyboard, select a song and add a filter (kind of like Instagram, but for video). Or you can just "shake it" (see my very rudimentary home video).
Montaj also enables you to trim clips, rearrange them, import new clips, change the song, or change the filter. Once the video is completed, you can share it via YouTube, Facebook or Twitter.
Here is how they promote it:

Free on the App Store.
Great for short, easy, quick videos.
