A free video editor for iPhone with no watermark, no ads, no subscription and no length limit. The interface is in English, with Polish available. You pick your language the first time you open the app and can switch it any time in Settings. Import footage from your camera roll or record straight in the app, cut it on a multi-track timeline and export up to 4K. Send the finished film directly to Instagram Stories or TikTok. Multi-track timeline Trim with handles, split clips, long-press and drag to reorder, pinch with two fingers to zoom. Stop the playhead and you see that exact frame, with a frame-by-frame step either side of it, so a cut lands where you meant it to. Over 500 looks and 500 effects Adjust exposure, contrast, temperature and tinting. Plus transitions and camera moves that give rhythm to ordinary phone footage. Animated captions Choose the typeface, the size and the colour of caption text, on top of 500 ready styles and 525 entrance and exit animations, gradients, outlines and backdrops. Automatic captions are recognised straight from the recording on your device, so you never retype dialogue by hand. Automatic edit to music The app detects the beat of a track, matches shot length to the tempo and adds a look, camera move and title card by itself. You get a finished draft you can refine.
