## What is Tap Cut?

Tap Cut edits your reels to the rhythm of the music, or to the one you tap.

Pick your Live Photos, videos and photos, then a song: Tap Cut fits the cuts to the vocals and the tempo, adds the effects, and your vertical reel is ready. Want your own rhythm? Tap with your finger at every change of picture while the song plays: Tap Cut cuts right there.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Your photos, edited in the order you took them: from an album, a shared album, or a trip, as Tap Cut groups your photos by place.
2. A song, from Files or the sound of a video. Pick the start, snapped to the bar.
3. The reel edits itself: cuts on the music, effects, filter. Travel or Kinetic style, in one tap.
4. Watch, export a 1080 × 1920 MP4, and post it on Instagram.

BY HAND, NOT BY CHANCE
• Tap your own rhythm, in as many takes as you like: the taps merge, and a cut you missed is picked up from another take.
• A passage too fast? Slow down to 0.75× or 0.5×: the cuts stay locked to the song.
• Fine-tune every cut on the timeline, by finger or to the nearest 10 ms.
• Cuts snap to the hits or the beats of the music.
• Latency calibration makes up for the sound's delay, even over Bluetooth.

SUGGESTIONS THAT LISTEN
Tap Cut analyzes the song and suggests cuts instrument by instrument: kick drum, snare, hi-hat, vocals, or simply the tempo. One cut per bar, every two beats, per beat or per half beat: listen, then add them with one tap.

THE KINETIC STYLE, NO EDITING SOFTWARE NEEDED
Auto Direction gives your photos the energy of kinetic editing: punchy cuts on the strong beats, silhouettes that arrive just before the cut, negative flashes, mosaics, animated place titles, a filter chosen from the light in your photos, and sound effects (whooshes, hits, risers). Pick the pace, fast, relaxed or slow, and the order: chronological, or staged for more striking effects.

A REAL EDIT
• Live Photos and videos move, photos are framed in 9:16.
• A boomerang when a shot outlasts its video, a white flash or a quick zoom on a cut.
• Framing and the moment shown can be set shot by shot.
• The preview can show Instagram's interface, to keep faces clear of its buttons.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE
No account, no ads, no analytics. Your photos, music and takes are sent nowhere; to name your trips, only one point per place goes to Apple's maps service, never a photo.

A protected song (Apple Music, Spotify…) can't be put in an exported video: export without the music and add the same song in Instagram. Tap Cut tells you where to start it.
