SteadyFlow transforms your photo collections into stunning, professional-grade videos using the raw power of your device. Built entirely on Apple’s cutting-edge technologies—Core ML, Vision Framework, and Metal—SteadyFlow delivers lightning-fast performance and meaningful AI analysis without ever needing the cloud. New in 6.0 Captions and labels: write on any photo with fonts, colors, speech bubbles and smileys, place labels anywhere, and copy them to other photos in one tap. Title card: open your video on a silent card with a message and a date, in six looks, while every beat-synced cut stays on time. Cartoons with Apple Intelligence: turn photos into a 3D animation, an illustration or a sketch. Your originals are kept. Fashion Editorial: a printed high-fashion magazine with several photos on a page. Live Photo motion and a redesigned Edit Look. Forget complex timelines and manual editing. SteadyFlow’s "AI Director" uses advanced machine learning to analyze the content of your images, understand the scene, and automatically craft a compelling story with perfect mood, music, and motion. Built on Apple technology: Deep Scene Understanding (Vision Framework): The app intelligently recognizes faces, pets, landscapes, and action scenes to build a custom editing strategy tailored to your content. High-Performance Rendering (Metal): Experience realtime, buttery-smooth playback and ultra-fast exports, leveraging the full capability of Apple Silicon. On-Device Learning (Core ML): All analysis happens locally on your Neural Engine, ensuring maximum privacy and speed. Key Features: AI Director Mode Adaptive Styles: Automatically selects themes like "Urban Velocity" for city trips, "Warm Vintage" for family moments, or "Monochrome Soul" for artistic black & white scenes. Smart Pacing: Adjusts the speed and energy of the video to match the content—fast and rhythmic for action, slow and cinematic for nature. Cinematic Visuals 3D Parallax Motion: Adds depth to your photos, creating a subtle, immersive 3D movement effect. Pro Color Grading: Features a high-fidelity color engine with presets like Teal & Orange, Vibrant, and Film Noir to give your video a polished look. Dynamic Transitions: Uses context-aware transitions—Whip Pans for energy, Light Leaks for nostalgia, and Zoom Bursts for portraits. Music & Beat Sync Beat-Matched Editing: Automatically cuts photos and triggers transitions perfectly on the beat of the music. Smart Audio: Detects the high-energy "chorus" or best part of any song to start your video instantly. Library & Import: Includes a library of royalty-free cinematic tracks, or import your own music files directly. Privacy First Your photos stay on your device. By harnessing local machine learning, SteadyFlow works privately and offline. The one exception is cartoons: Apple Intelligence may create them using Apple’s Private Cloud Compute. SteadyFlow makes video storytelling effortless. Just select your photos, and let Apple’s most powerful frameworks do the rest. Pricing Free to download, with 5 free exports. Edit Look (color, captions and labels, title cards and cartoons) is free to try. One purchase, with no subscription, unlocks unlimited exports and exporting with every Edit Look feature. Cartoons need a device with Apple Intelligence turned on.
