There's something special about home videos shot on video tape. Every press of the record button was deliberate. Every captured moment meant something. That intentionality is baked into the format itself: one tape, one continuous recording, one in-camera edit. In-Camera Edit brings that workflow back––and the nostalgia. No timeline. No complex editing. Just one continuous video, ordered the way you shot it. How it works: Select videos from your Photos library or Files. The app automatically sorts them by when they were recorded, combines them, and exports a single video file. The date, time, and location travel with the final export. **Features:** - Combines videos chronologically by recording date - Preserves date and location metadata - Respects your edits and trims from Photos - Handles mixed orientations and resolutions - HDR and 4K support - Export to Photos or Files - Share extension—combine videos right from the Photos app - Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro
