I like that transcription and translation work on-device, even without an internet connection after downloading the models. The editor gives you solid control over timing, positioning, fonts, and colors, while the one-time purchase keeps things straightforward. Supporting iPhone, iPad, and Mac is another big plus. 🎬📝 **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for feedback! 😊 ### 5/5 — 可以增加软件的中文的界面UI吗？ *2026-04-27* 开发者辛苦了，谢谢！ **Developer response:** Hi!

A new button above the Play/Pause button toggles text blockі overlap on the timeline. When enabled, dragging or resizing a block will not overlap its neighbor – the adjacent block shortens from that edge instead. Useful when adjusting captions timing. • "Copy/paste style" button. You can now copy the look of a text block and apply it to others. Select a block, tap the new eyedropper button (or press Command+C), then select another block and tap it again (or press Shift+Command+V) to paste. Long-press the button or tap it with nothing selected to clear the copied style. • Caption copy & paste. It is now possible to copy a caption on the text timeline (via the context menu or Command+C) and paste it (using the button near the video preview or Command+V). • Waveform overlay on the main timeline.

You can still long-tap / right-click the Split button to remove all splits in the project. • The button to add new caption is now available in video preview as well. — OTHER IMPROVEMENTS — • Much, much faster thumbnails loading on opening projects. • Fixed a problem where video with no audio could fail to export. • Smoother and more stable clip reordering in reorder mode. • It is now possible to scroll through the timeline and pinch to zoom while in reorder mode (by doing this on the text timeline). • Various UI improvements. ### 4.0.0 — 2026-07-19 — NEW FEATURES — • Animations for captions! You can now animate either entire captions or the text inside them. All animations are interactive and can be previewed in the video editor.

Useful to preview what captions will look like after the video is published as a reel or story. You can also set the overlay color in settings and adjust the opacity by triple tapping and swiping up or down. • Search on projects screen (always visible on iPad and Mac, pull down to show on iPhone). You can search for project names, dates, and video resolution. Include the "x" symbol to show projects with specific resolution, for example "1920x". • It is now possible to change the size of the background fill. As always, the default value can be changed in settings as well. • You can now decrease the minimum text block width all the way down to 10%. — OTHER IMPROVEMENTS — • Fixed a problem where text blocks couldn't be dragged or resized on a zoomed timeline. • Much improved performance when timeline is zoomed and then immediately scrolled. • When you crop a video, the text block width is now calculated correctly. • You can now set a custom default text block placement for both vertical and horizontal videos. • Added a pop up that asks if you want to apply changes to all text blocks after a text block is dragged in the video preview. • New keyboard shortcuts for iPad and Mac: split video (⌥B), toggle text section (⌥T), new text block (⌥⇧N), edit text block (⌥E), split in half (⌥H), bold / italic / underline on the selected block (⌘B / ⌘I / ⌘U), jump the playhead to the previous/next block start and also select that block (⌘← / ⌘→), and others. • Various UI improvements. ## More apps by Bohdan Kolesnyk - [WordFace: watch face flashcard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wordface-watch-face-flashcard/id6615086442) All apps by Bohdan Kolesnyk: https://appshunter.io/developer/1761607510 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
