Snapchat's new 'Director Mode' advanced video editing feature is now available to all iOS users of the app. Director Mode includes a range of advanced editing tools, including variable playback speed options and dual camera controls. Snap says that Director Mode is available to some creators on Android, with a full rollout coming. The feature is available in the camera toolbar in the app, or you can tap the ‘Create’ button in Spotlight to access the more advanced editing options. Snap’s also reducing the amount that it's paying Spotlight creators via its Spotlight Fund, which sees money allocated to the most popular Spotlight clips every day, as it looks to make Spotlight a more self-sustaining option. The company says it's gradually moving to phase out over time This is a big development for creators as it means that more people will be able to create high quality videos. The reduced amount of money that Snap is paying out to creators shows its commitment to the platform, and reflects the increasing popularity of video content.
