## What is ApnaDirector?

ApnaDirector is a local-first AI video creator. You're the director — just describe the video you want, in plain language and ApnaDirector turns your photos and raw videos into a polished reel, YouTube video/shorts, or a 4K cinematic video.

WHY APNADIRECTOR?
• You direct. We edit. Tell the app what kind of video you want — "a soft romantic anniversary reel, 30 seconds, slow zoom on every photo" — and it builds the scene plan, the timing and the captions for you.
• 100% on your device. No login. No signup. Your photos and projects are stored only on this phone — they never leave it. Simple, private, trustworthy.
• Real creative control. Reorder scenes, edit captions, change overlay text style and color, pick from 7 placement positions, choose music mood, and export in the format you need.
• Built for every story. Cinematic travel reels. Romantic anniversary montages. Birthday surprises with custom text. Wedding films with piano scores. High-energy fitness highlights. Soft memory slideshows.

EXPORT IN ANY FORMAT Reels, Shorts, YouTube, Stories, Square, or 4K cinematic video — pick the format you need and ApnaDirector frames it perfectly.

SPEAK NATURALLY Type or use your voice. The director understands plain language — describe the mood, the pace, the captions, and watch your idea come alive.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-05-18

Your exports now look right.

• Fixed an orientation bug where photos and captions in the exported video appeared flipped upside-down. Every frame now renders the right way up, in full 1080p HD, exactly the way you see it in the preview.

• Under the hood: rewrote how the on-device renderer hands frames to Apple's video pipeline so positioning, face-aware framing, and burned-in captions all line up correctly on the first try.

• Everything else from 2.0 is unchanged: describe-the-vibe AI scene planning, smart pacing, mood-driven transitions, title cards, and per-scene captions baked into the file.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-05-15

2.0 is the export update — your videos now actually save to Photos in HD, rendered fully on-device. Plus six big upgrades to how the AI builds them.

WHAT'S NEW

• Real on-device HD export. Tap Export and a 1080p MP4 saves straight to your Photos library. No cloud, no upload, no waiting in a queue. Built on Apple's own AVFoundation video pipeline so it stays private and works offline.

• Face-aware framing. Vertical reels used to chop heads off when a landscape photo got cropped to 9:16. Now ApnaDirector finds the largest face in each photo and shifts the frame so people stay in shot, slightly above center for a natural cinematic feel.

• Smarter scene pacing. Your opening shot now breathes a beat longer to pull viewers in, and your closing shot holds for a moment instead of cutting off — the way professional editors actually pace a montage.

• Pan and zoom variety. Instead of every photo getting the same slow zoom, the director now mixes zoom-in, zoom-out, slow pans across landscape shots, and gentle vertical drifts on portrait shots. Each scene feels distinct.

• Mood-driven transitions. Tell the director "energetic birthday reel" and you'll get punchy dip-to-black cuts at 250ms. Ask for a "soft romantic anniversary" and you'll get long 700ms slow crossfades. The transition style now matches the mood, automatically.

• Title cards. Every video opens with a 2-second title card showing your project name in heavy white type, then crossfades into your first photo for a polished, branded opening.

• Burned-in captions. Per-scene caption text now renders directly into the video at the bottom of each frame, so your captions travel with the export — no more re-typing them when you upload.

WHAT'S COMING NEXT?

Music tracks baked into the export, Android version, video clip support alongside photos, and a "Best of" mode that picks your strongest shots automatically.
