Record for up to 5 minutes under the Capture tab or select Create Document under the Documents tab to import a video from your Photo Library or Files. 

Choose Photo or Video depending on which format you want your long exposure to be. If you select Photo, you will be able to drag the marker on the timeline to select an image from your video. If you select Video, you will be able to drag the trimmer handles on the timeline to select the content and adjust the playback speed.

Increase the exposure time to blur or streak the moving elements in your long exposure and choose a blending mode: Motion Blur or Light Trails. You will be able to change the format and blending mode while editing to experiment with different effects.

Motion Blur will soften water and clouds, make cars look as though they’re speeding by, create ghostly shadows of people walking, and make transient objects completely disappear with an exposure time of minutes. Light Trails will produce mesmerizing star trails in the sky along with streaks of light from moving cars, fireworks and more.
