About

StoreCut

Features
Read full description

StoreCut is the iPhone app that turns your simulator recordings and screen capture clips into App Store preview videos with a real, studio-quality look — the kind that play right on your product page, not animated mockups. Build a project, drop in your screens, write your headlines, pick a template, and export a real .mp4 sized exactly for App Store Connect. No Mac, no After Effects, no plugin chain. Everything composes on-device. KEY FEATURES • Real Preview Videos — Render true App-Store-sized .mp4 files using a custom AVFoundation compositor. Drop straight into App Store Connect. • Multi-Scene Editor — Build your preview as a sequence of scenes with a smooth carousel. Add screenshots or short video clips, reorder, duplicate, delete. • Portrait and Landscape — Switch any project between portrait and landscape orientation. The compositor, previews, and final export all follow. • Animated Templates — Pick a template per scene (Crossfade, Slide, fullscreen Media). Every frame is composed in real time, so the preview matches the export exactly. • Video Speed Control — Speed scene clips from 1× up to 2.5×. Duration recalculates instantly; the source file is never altered. • Multi-Line Styled Text — Write multiple headline lines per scene. Bold, italic, and color overrides per line. Pick from SF Pro, New York, Avenir Next, or Georgia. • Reveal Modes — Bring text in line-by-line (staggered) or all at once. Pick what fits your pacing. • Custom Backgrounds — Solid color, linear or radial gradient, or your own image. Override per scene if a single screen needs a different look. • Background Music — Toggle the built-in theme music on or off per project. Mixes into the export with smooth fade in and fade out. • Animated Outro — A built-in three-second outro auto-renders with your project's icon, name, caption, and brand colors so every preview ends with your identity. • Project Library — Save unlimited preview projects locally. Each project keeps its own font, colors, music, and brand settings. • On-Device Rendering — Everything composes on your iPhone. No cloud upload, no account, no telemetry. • Camera Roll Export — Export the finished .mp4 and AirDrop, AirPlay, or upload directly to App Store Connect from your phone. WHO IT'S FOR • Indie iOS developers preparing their App Store listing • App marketers and growth teams cutting preview videos at scale • Studios shipping multiple apps that need consistent preview-video branding • Anyone tired of paying for a Mac-only animator just to ship a 30-second clip THE WORKFLOW 1. Create a project. Set your brand: name, icon, accent color, font, background. 2. Add scenes. For each scene, drop a short screen capture or prepared video clip and write your headlines. 3. Pick a template and reveal mode. Live-preview your work as you edit. 4. Export to Camera Roll. Upload the .mp4 to App Store Connect. That's it. The same app preview video that takes a freelancer a week takes you 10 minutes on your phone. Privacy Policy: https://appstorecut.com/privacy.html Support: https://appstorecut.com/
