## What is InstantCut?

InstantCut is an AI-powered video editing app designed for social media shorts, vlogs, sports highlights, pet videos, and daily life snippets. Simply select your footage, and InstantCut will analyze the visuals, action, audio, and key moments right on your device. It helps you quickly generate a well-paced, high-impact short video, saving you from the hassle of endlessly dragging timelines.

Want more control than just auto-editing? Switch to Manual Editing Mode to fine-tune clip lengths, split videos, reorder footage, and save your progress as a draft to finish later. InstantCut is perfect for anyone looking to quickly compile travel memories, sports highlights, pet moments, and event recaps, or prepare fresh content for social media.

【100% On-Device Processing: Your Privacy Comes First】
InstantCut’s AI analysis and video processing are done entirely on your device. Your private footage is never uploaded to cloud servers. Enjoy a smoother editing workflow, faster rendering, and absolute peace of mind with zero risk of data leaks.

【True content analysis — no cookie-cutter templates】
InstantCut uses on-device AI to analyze video and audio, detect highlight moments, and build your timeline. Every cut is shaped by your footage — not a one-size-fits-all template.

Key Features:
【Effortless & Time-Saving】 AI automatically selects the best highlights to generate short videos in a flash.

【Tailored Themes】 Optimize your edits based on your content focus, including Animals, People, or Sports.

【Rock-Solid Data Security】 Local analysis and rendering mean your videos never leave your device.

【Manual Editing】 Fine-tune trim ranges, split, reorder, and add subtitles or stickers with ease.

【Worry-Free Drafts】 Project-based management automatically saves your progress, keeping your unfinished edits safe.

【Flexible Sharing】 Supports video previews, custom sharing options, and instant saving.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.2 — 2026-10-22

• Japanese interface added — follows your system language
• Auto Edit: selecting several long videos (such as 10+ minute 1080p 60fps clips) no longer fails with "Not enough memory"; progress updates during analysis and continues in the background
• Manual edit: drafts with many clips now play, pause, and scrub smoothly on the timeline
• Manual edit: the preview keeps the same colors whether a clip is selected or not, including drafts with transitions and collages
• Manual edit: fixed an issue where exporting a draft with a speed-changed clip could occasionally freeze
• Sound effects now snap to the current playhead when repositioned

### 1.6.1 — 2026-10-19

New wide-screen editing experience
- On iPad and foldable iPhone, the manual editor now shows the preview and tool panel side by side — drag the panel anywhere or collapse it, with the timeline spanning the full width for a smoother edit.

Quick audio track volume
- Switch the timeline to "Audio" and tap any music, sound effect, or imported audio track to adjust its volume, mute it, or delete it — no need to open the mixer.

 Stability and playback fixes
‑ Fixed a rare crash that could occur in the manual editor
‑ Fixed an issue where pressing Play on certain clips (especially with transitions or high-resolution sources) did nothing or stopped playback partway through
‑ Improved memory stability when working with large photos and high-resolution footage; unsupported video formats now show a clear message instead of getting stuck

### 1.5.2 — 2026-10-12

1.New free feature: Record Audio / Import Audio File
- Record or import audio right on the timeline as its own independent track
- Your video plays back muted in sync while recording, so you can narrate over it
- Drag to reposition, split, and adjust volume independently — just like BGM tracks

2.Expanded music library:
- Added 40+ new royalty-free songs

Other fixes:
- Minor bug fixes and stability improvements

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-18

1. New Premium feature: Sound Effects
- 19 CC0-licensed sound effects covering both quick action hits and ambient loops, free to use with no attribution required
- Browse by category and preview before adding
- Choose from three placement options — Full Length, Current Segment, or From Playhead — or drag the handles to trim manually
- Layer with BGM tracks and adjust each track's volume independently

2. Improved BGM placement
- Adding a BGM track now offers the same three placement options: Full Length, Current Segment, or From Playhead
- Fixed an issue where preview playback sometimes kept playing past the selected segment length

3. Improved sticker and text editing
- Stickers now have an opacity slider with live preview
- Dragging a text or sticker trim handle now snaps to clip edges, and the whole clip can be dragged to reposition

Other fixes:
- Streamlined how music and sound effect files are stored, reducing the app's install size
- Fixed an issue where stickers imported from Photos exported with the wrong orientation/aspect ratio compared to the preview
- Fixed an issue where the ending transition on a Collage clip cut to the wrong frame

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-14

Introducing a new Premium-exclusive feature
"BGM" tool
