## What is VEMA?

VEMA is a complete video studio for creators who shoot, cut, caption, and publish entirely on their iPhone. Record it, edit it, caption it, and export it in the format each platform wants — without moving a single file to a desktop.

SHOOT WITH THE CREATOR CAMERA
Record multi-clip takes with a countdown timer, hands-free delays, and speed control. Every clip lands straight in your project, ready to trim.

A REAL EDITING TIMELINE
Trim, split, and reorder clips. Add transitions with accurate overlap timing, ramp speed up or down, and physically reverse a clip. Crop, reframe, or drop your footage onto a styled backdrop.

CAPTIONS THAT DO THE WORK FOR YOU
Generate captions automatically with on-device speech recognition — including long recordings, transcribed word by word with real timings. Then open Caption FX and make them yours:

• Reveal — a karaoke-style caption that keeps the phrase dimmed on screen and lights each word the moment you say it
• Active Word and Highlight Box for punchy, high-retention captions
• One Word mode for fast-cut, single-word pacing
• Free vertical placement — drop captions anywhere on the frame, not just top, middle, or bottom
• Font size from 8 to 100 px, uppercase, custom text, highlight, and background plate colors
• Timing offset, words per group, and automatic hiding through pauses

203 CINEMATIC FILTERS
A full LUT library across ten looks — Warm & Golden, Teal & Orange, Film & Vintage, Cool & Moody, Natural Clean, Bright & Airy, Autumn & Earth, Color Pop, Black & White, and Duotone & Experimental. Fine-tune further with manual color controls.

AUTOMATIC FACE BLUR
Vision-powered face detection finds every face in a clip and tracks it frame by frame, so you can blur bystanders and sensitive details without keyframing anything by hand.

SOUND, MUSIC, AND VOICE
Score your edit from a built-in library of 88 royalty-free tracks and effects, mix in your own audio, and record voiceover directly over the timeline.

TEXT, STICKERS, AND OVERLAYS
Animated text, a sticker and GIF browser, and overlay effects — all placed and timed on the canvas.

REACTION VIDEOS
Build picture-in-picture reactions in 9:16 or 16:9, with a square or circle frame you can park in any corner.

THUMBNAIL STUDIO
Pull a frame from your own timeline and build a layered thumbnail on top of it, with multiple variants so you can pick the strongest one.

EXPORT FOR EVERY PLATFORM
Nine aspect ratios covering 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 21:9, 1.91:1, and iPad sizes — plus exact App Store preview dimensions at the required 30 fps. Export MP4 video, extract audio, or render a GIF with control over length, resolution, and smoothness.

BUILT FOR PHONE-FIRST CREATORS
Your media library, projects, and edits stay organized in one place, so the next video starts where the last one left off.

Download VEMA and turn raw footage into finished, captioned, platform-ready video — all on your iPhone.


VEMA is designed for creators who want capable editing tools without a complicated desktop workflow. Whether you are making a short video, tutorial, reaction, product showcase, vlog, or social post, everything you need is in one place.

An optional one-time purchase removes advertising and the VEMA export watermark. No subscription is required.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-11

Caption FX is out of beta.

Reveal effect — a karaoke-style caption that keeps your phrase dimmed on screen and lights each word the moment you say it. Spoken words stay lit through the rest of the line.

Place captions anywhere — drag captions to any height on the frame instead of picking top, middle, or bottom. They stay fully on-canvas at either extreme.

Colored caption backgrounds — the plate behind your words is no longer stuck on black. Ten curated background colors, ten highlight colors.

Bigger type — the font size range now goes up to 100 px for punchy, full-width captions.

Auto-captions actually finish. Long videos used to transcribe down to a single blank caption, and failures reported "no audio" no matter the real cause. Recognition now accumulates every chunk of a long recording, surfaces the real error, and can't hang the generate button forever.

Plus: readable dates on gallery thumbnails, more accurate timeline duration with transitions, and tidier editor sliders.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-11

No release notes.
