NewTake is made for videos where you talk to the camera — vlogs, explainers, stories, updates. It cuts the rambling, false starts and dead air, adds captions, and hands you a tight video people actually watch. Your footage never leaves your phone. Pick a video where you talk (or several takes) and NewTake's on-device AI splits it into scenes, listens to what's said, and recommends what to keep and what to cut. You review every decision with a tap, then save a tight, watchable video straight to your camera roll. CAPTIONS THAT READ THEMSELVES • Every word appears right on beat — the active word lights up as you speak (or choose Classic, with the key word highlighted) • Fix any line in place: the player jumps to that exact moment while you type • Captions burn in exactly as previewed — what you see is what exports AN EDITOR THAT CUTS THE PARTS YOU'D CUT • Said "wait, let me start over"? The AI trims the false start — shown crossed out, one tap to bring back • Cut any spoken line yourself, right from the captions panel • Review each scene — green keeps, red cuts, you're always in control HOW IT WORKS • Pick clips from your photo library — even multiple takes of the same moment • On-device AI detects scenes, transcribes speech, and scores visual quality • Add background music that automatically quiets when you talk — or let the AI pick the track • Export to your camera roll and see exactly how many minutes you saved • Not sure yet? Try it on the built-in sample video first — no footage needed PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your video and audio are processed on your iPhone and are never uploaded. To make an AI edit, the app asks your permission first, then sends the text of what you say, any story you type, and clip details (length, date and camera) to AI services from Google, Microsoft and DeepInfra. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Vloggers and creators who ramble before getting to the point • Explainers, tutorials and updates that need to be half as long • Anyone who wants captioned, postable talking videos without a desktop editor NEWTAKE PRO The free plan includes 3 AI-edited videos each month, with full preview of captions and music. Saving is free; NewTake Pro adds: • Captions and soundtrack on every export • Unlimited videos, no credits (fair-use policy applies) • $6.99/month, or $29.99/year Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in your App Store settings.
