Great Editing Software but still VERY BUGGY and NO TIME REMAP
Since 2020 i've been using Alight Motion and I've enjoyed editing all my videos on here. However, the software is still very vulnerable when it comes to minor crashes and glitches. This app becomes UNUSABLE when below 25 percent, while the phone is charging, and if the phone is at medium/high temperature.
Another slight nitpick that I have with this app is that the IOS version is the ONLY version does NOT have an option for time remapping. I was excited when I was informed the 5.0 update would have an option for time remapping, only to have the excitement shattered to see that it was only on Andriod and NOT IOS. I've been waiting ever since. PLEASE release the time remapping function for IOS, even if it's just an option for Premium users. Adding a time remapping function for IOS would save all users so much more time when editing their projects and would drive users to the app instead of pushing them away.
Other than those two personal nitpicks, I love this app and would recommend many video editors to invest some time into this app especially if they want to learn the fundamentals that are in other higher-end/higher priced VFX editing softwares such as After Effects and Davinci Resolve!
