## What is Handcut?

Captions that land on the word — not near it.

Handcut transcribes your video on your iPhone and times every caption to the syllable, so a pause reads as a pause and an emphasis lands where you put it. No upload. No render queue. No account. Nothing to sign up for.

Built for people who talk to camera: coaches, course creators, realtors, podcasters, sellers cutting product video. If your video is you, saying something, this is the editor for it.

WORD-BY-WORD CAPTIONS, DONE ON YOUR PHONE
• Real per-word timing read from the audio, not guessed by dividing a sentence
• Karaoke highlighting that follows the actual speech
• Runs in Airplane Mode — your audio never leaves the device
• Edit any word, restyle the whole set, move them anywhere on the frame

PICTURE-IN-PICTURE, INCLUDED
Screen recording plus a facecam bubble plus captions is the format this audience actually ships. It works on the free tier. Drag the bubble, pinch to size it, put it where it belongs.

A REAL EDITOR UNDERNEATH
• Multi-clip timeline with pinch-zoom, trim handles and drag-to-reorder
• 18 film looks and 14 GPU transitions
• Speed from 0.25× to 4×, with the trim preserved
• Text, emoji and your own images — placed, scaled and rotated on the video
• Mirror, crop and reframe for any aspect: vertical, square, widescreen
• Frame rate follows your footage, up to 60fps
• Music and voiceover tracks with a proper mixer

WHAT COSTS NOTHING
Unlimited projects. Unlimited exports. Unlimited length. Export up to 1080p, picture-in-picture, auto-captions, most looks and transitions, text and stickers — and no watermark, on any tier, ever. We do not brand your video.

WHAT PRO ADDS
4K export, keyframe animation, green-screen removal, extra video layers, the premium look and caption-style library.

WHY IT FEELS FAST
There is no server. Nothing uploads, so nothing waits in a queue behind other people's videos, nothing fails because a service is down, and nothing stops working if we do. Your footage, your captions and your export all happen on the silicon in your hand.

That is also why it is private — but the point is that it is quick.

Handcut asks for no account, collects no analytics, and shows no ads.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 3.0.0 — 2026-08-09

Lumina is now Handcut.

Same app, same team, same projects — new name and a new icon, because the app is no longer
mainly a trimmer. Your existing projects, exports and purchases all carry over untouched.

A rebuild, not an update.

Handcut is now a native editor with its own render engine — the preview you scrub and the file you export are produced by the same code, so what you see is what ships.

NEW
• Word-by-word captions with real per-word timing, on-device
• Picture-in-picture — free, two video tracks
• Keyframe animation with five easing curves
• Green-screen removal with an eyedropper that samples your own footage
• Your own images as stickers
• Move, scale and rotate any caption, emoji or sticker on the frame
• Frame rate follows your footage, up to 60fps
• Mirror clips horizontally or vertically

FIXED
• 60fps footage no longer exports at 30
• Captions and stickers are no longer stuck in the centre of the frame
• Transitions no longer fail to export

### 2.0.3 — 2026-05-29

We fixed a bug where filters, trim, speed, and brightness/contrast/saturation adjustments weren't applied to exported videos. Your edits now save exactly as you see them on screen. Thanks for reporting it!

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-02

Fixes the video editor's processing pipeline — filters (sepia, B&W, vivid, fade, dramatic, vintage, warm, cool), trim, speed change, and brightness/contrast/saturation adjustments now correctly transform exported videos. Improved error handling on import and export.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-24

No release notes.
