kirakira is an iPhone dance video editor built for keeping the right performer in the spotlight. Pick the dancer, create a tracked fancam-style composition, trim and color your video, then export. When you choose, you can also use cloud for HD Remaster and Face Retouch. SUBJECT TRACKING & VIDEO EDITING • Import a video from Photos and trim the segment you need • Select the main performer in a group shot and generate tracked framing • Correct the subject on the timeline after occlusion or a tracking mistake • Adjust aspect ratio, framing, zoom, subject position, and camera motion • Apply stage filters and Light Repair, then export at up to 60 fps Subject Tracking, standard Video Editing, filters, and Light Repair run on your device. These workflows do not upload your video for cloud processing. HD REMASTER & FACE RETOUCH kirakira sends a selected video and its audio to cloud processing only after you choose HD Remaster or Face Retouch, select the clip, and consent to upload it. You can generate a free 2-second preview before deciding whether to submit a full task. View queue status, estimated time, and results in Tasks, then save completed videos to Photos. CREDITS Full cloud tasks and some premium on-device effects use the number of credits shown before confirmation. Credits are available through In-App Purchase; prices are shown by the App Store. Your photos and videos are accessed only when you select them. Subject Tracking and local editing do not upload video; cloud processes only the clip you explicitly submit. See Data & Privacy and the privacy policy for details.
