Simple to use + preserves video quality, Includes Photos and Action extensions, and it's free, try it now! This app can be used to quickly combine clips, stabilize videos, loop videos, add music to videos, reverse videos, rotate videos, zoom or crop videos, change video speed, reduce volume, or mirror a video left to right (a.k.a. flip). To use the app from within the Photos app, hit the "Edit" button after selecting a video. Also, anytime a video can be "shared" with the iOS "Share" button, you can use the Video Tools action to edit the video and share it to another app without having to save it again. ===================== Video Editing Options ===================== * Combine * Stabilize * Add Music * Loop * Reverse * Crop / Zoom * Rotate (90, 180, 270) * Change speed (2x, 3x, 1/2 x, 1/4 x), or * Flip (mirror horizontally) * Volume (Muted up to 100%) ===================== What is a Photos Extension ===================== You can directly edit videos while in the Photos app, and the result will overwrite the original. You can "undo" the video to its original version with the "revert" button in Photos. For example, looking through your videos in the Photos app, you notice one video is sideways. While looking at the paused video, tap "Edit", then tap "Video Tools", select rotate and save. Now the video is not sideways when you look through Photos! ===================== How to Enable the Photos extension ===================== 1) Go to the Photos app, 2) Select a video, 3) Tap the Edit button 4) Tap the "...", 5) The extension can be enabled here and dragged to the top of the list: "Video Tools". Afterward, the extension will be visible after tapping Edit. ===================== What is an Action Extension ===================== You can directly edit videos wherever the system "Share" button is used, from the bottom list of "Actions." The result of the edit can be passed to another extension, shared, or saved to the camera roll. For example, you receive a video in a text, with something funny going on in the background. Tap to view the video, then hit the "Share" button. In the bottom gray options, choose "Video Tools". Zoom in on the part you want and hit save, then share the result to Messages and send it back to your friend with the video zoomed on your focus. ===================== How to Enable the Action extension ===================== 1) Go to the Photos app, 2) Select a video, 3) Tap the Share button 4) Tap the "..." at the end of the bottom list (all the options will be black and white), 5) The extension can be enabled here and dragged to the top of the list: "Video Tools". Afterward, the extension will be visible after tapping the Share button.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clippy at 65% against Reverse Video Editor's 0%. Clippy also leads on ratings volume (201 vs 2). Reverse Video Editor's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Clippy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Reverse Video Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reverse Video Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Clippy's written reviews are positive against 0% of Reverse Video Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clippy ships an update every 2 months, Reverse Video Editor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
