Stabilize shaky video: lock a car, scooter or mountain bike dead still in frame, parked at a meet or flat out on the road. Then ramp the speed on a curve, boost it to 240FPS for slow motion, and finish with true optical-flow motion blur. Motion Track is a full video editor built around motion — stabilization, tracking, speed, effects, captions, text and color — plus a photo editor and collage. All on-device. Your videos never leave your phone. STABILIZE - Stabilize — smooth out handheld shake in one tap, at a strength you can change any time. Never baked in, so quality survives - Tripod locks the shot dead still, and Perspective mode fixes footage that skews and wobbles, not just shakes - Auto Track — one tap steadies every clip in the project, then zooms each one in to hide the black edges - Track Feature — tap any point on a car, scooter, bike or board and pin it dead still in frame - Track 2 Points for position, rotation and scale, plus Manual Keyframes - Zoom to Fill — stabilizing can leave black edges; one tap crops them away AUTO CAPTIONS - Auto Captions — transcribe a talking take on device.
