Pick your clips. Get a cut. Quick Cut Pro turns a folder of phone videos into an edited montage in seconds. No timeline to wrangle, no dragging clips around. Choose your footage, choose a length, and it cuts. HOW IT DECIDES Every clip you pick is analysed on your iPhone for sharpness, exposure, motion, faces and near-duplicates. The dull footage and the accidental repeats are left out, and the strongest moments are packed into the length you asked for. Nothing is uploaded and nothing leaves your phone. DON'T LIKE IT? SHUFFLE Shuffle rolls a new edit from the same clips instantly. It reuses the analysis, so there is no waiting - press it until you like what you see. CUT TO THE BEAT Add a track from Files and Quick Cut Pro finds its tempo, then lands the cut points on the beat. A waveform sits under the timeline with the beats marked, so you can see the cuts hit rather than take our word for it. If a track has no clear beat, the app says so and cuts freely instead of snapping to a grid it guessed. FINE CONTROL WHEN YOU WANT IT Tap any shot to open the clip editor: - Trim - drag either end to change how long the shot runs - Slip - drag the middle to keep the length and move to a different moment - Dice - keep the rhythm, jump to a random moment - Swap - put a different clip in this shot's place REFRAMED, NOT SQUASHED Export 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. The crop follows the interesting part of the frame rather than blindly taking the middle. BRING FOOTAGE FROM ANYWHERE Import from Photos, or from Files for footage that never went into your photo library - camera cards, AirDrop, iCloud Drive. Add more clips at any point, or drop ones you do not want. PROJECTS Every cut is saved automatically the moment your clips land. Come back later and your footage, settings and trims are exactly as you left them. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The free version exports a real file: 15 seconds, 720p, watermarked. Export is never blocked. Pro is a one-time $2.99 - no subscription - and unlocks full length, full quality from your source, and no watermark. PRIVACY Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no upload, no tracking, no ads.
