Edit like a pro on iPhone, iPad and Mac. No account. No uploads. RayCut Pro gives you a real multi-track timeline, automatic captions, cinematic color and 4K HDR export, and your footage stays on your own devices. NEW: STORY STUDIO • Movie trailers: pick one of 9 themed trailers, fill the shot list with your clips, add your title and credits. RayCut times the cuts, titles and music for you. • Storyboards: guided shot lists that tell you what to film, then assemble the edit. • Instant Movie: choose your clips and get a finished, music-timed movie you can keep editing. FINISH FASTER • Viral Cut and automatic edits that cut to the beat of your music, at the pace you choose. • Automatic captions with animated styles, word-by-word highlights and speaker labels. Search the transcript and jump to any word. • Remove silences, split long clips at every shot change, and detect beats in one tap. • Smart Reframe follows your subject so one project works vertical, square and landscape. A REAL PRO TIMELINE • Frame-accurate, multi-track and magnetic: insert, append, overwrite, connect and replace edits, In/Out ranges, ripple and roll trims, and a precision trim view. • Compound clips, multicam editing, auditions for alternate takes, markers and chapters, and a searchable timeline index. • Keyframes with smooth curves for position, scale, rotation, opacity and effects. • Speed ramps, smooth slow motion, reverse and freeze frames. MAKE IT LOOK CINEMATIC • Color wheels, curves, HSL, LUTs, Looks, Match Color and Auto Enhance. • Change the focus of iPhone Cinematic videos after you shot them. • Cut Out removes the background without a green screen. Plus chroma key, shape masks, object tracking with pinned titles and stickers, and stabilization. • Animated titles with neon, glitch and wave effects, 3D transitions and animated backgrounds. SOUND THAT HOLDS UP • Voice Isolation and Voice Enhance for clean dialogue, EQ and voice effects. • Music that follows your edit, a built-in sound library, auto-ducking under voice, voiceover recording and text-to-speech narration. • Dialogue, music and effects roles with per-role mute and stem export. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC • Projects sync through your own iCloud. Start on iPhone, continue on Mac with Handoff. • On Mac: familiar pro keyboard shortcuts, skimming, and a full-screen viewer on a second display. • Export FCPXML to keep editing in Final Cut Pro. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No RayCut account, no tracking, no RayCut cloud. • Captions, cutouts, reframing and beat analysis run on your device by default. • Sync uses your own iCloud, and you decide when and where a video is shared. EXPORT WITH CONFIDENCE • Up to 4K with HDR on supported media and devices, up to 60 fps. • Chapters in the exported movie, plus ready-to-paste YouTube chapter timestamps. • Save to Photos, AirDrop, Files or the share sheet. Long exports pause and resume safely. PLANS RayCut Pro is free to download and edit with. Exports from the free version end with a short RayCut Pro card; remove it once with Remove Watermark.

Built by a night photographer, for everyone who works after dark. Twilightscapes is three things in one: a camera engineered for the night, a complete editing suite that fits in your pocket, and a gallery that turns every screen you own into an ambient display. THE NIGHT CAMERA Long exposures without filters: stack frames live for silky water and star trails, and watch the exposure build in the viewfinder. Capture a dark frame in the field and sensor noise vanishes. Full manual control — ISO, shutter, white balance, focus — with ProRAW, all lenses, an intervalometer, and an interface that dims to red so your night vision survives the session. A Lock Screen button opens the camera instantly, and your Apple Watch fires the shutter from your wrist. VIDEO & SPOTS Record video one tap from the camera and review it instantly. Or make a Spot: put yourself on screen — as a clean bubble or an automatic cutout, no green screen needed — over your photos, over any clip, or over the live scene behind you with both cameras rolling at once. Cue buttons, live volume control, and after-the-fact motion make it a broadcast desk in your hand. EDIT IN THE FIELD A real timeline editor: cut and trim on a filmstrip, punch in on the moment that matters, layer photos and headlines and animate them, replace or mix the audio, and record voiceover while the picture plays. Develop photos with a full slider set, blend star-trail and smooth stacks, build timelapses. Then post video straight to Bluesky — shoot, edit, publish, one app. THE FIELD MONITOR Link devices directly — no network needed on a mountainside. Your iPad or Mac becomes a live monitor with exposure readouts and a remote shutter; stealth mode keeps the screen dim and red. FIELD SAFE The moment a recording ends, a copy uploads to a server you control. Whatever happens to the phone, the footage is already somewhere else. YOUR GALLERY, EVERYWHERE Photos, playlists, and narrated slideshows sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Ken Burns motion, voice notes that play with their photos, a pixel loupe for the detail-obsessed, and a curated Twilightscapes collection that grows without app updates — or hide it entirely and make the app purely yours. EVERYTHING IS FREE. Twilightscapes Pro is one purchase — no subscription — that unlocks launch modes (open straight into the camera, video, dual camera, or Studio) and supports an independent artist. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
