Your edit

Rename, merge, move or add places. Leave stops out, choose the photos each stop shows, route a leg through a place. Undo and redo.

Your look

Themes, and a map that is Flat, 3D or Terrain. 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. 30 to 60 seconds long, or automatic.

Film and poster

Title ideas

Written by Apple's on-device model when Apple Intelligence is on, so nothing leaves the iPhone. Otherwise simple ones from the place names.
