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. Pro and Max subscriptions (monthly or yearly) unlock the advanced tools. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.

Video Speed Shift

Features
Read full description

Change how fast your videos play, then save the result to your photo library. Pick a video from your library or record one in the app, choose a speed, and watch the change right away. When it looks right, save it. The new video is written as its own file — your original is left exactly as it was. FOURTEEN SPEEDS 0.1x, 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x. The slider steps between them, so you can feel each one without looking. Take a golf swing down to a tenth of speed, or push a long clip through at ten times. SEE IT BEFORE YOU SAVE The preview plays at the speed you picked, so you are never guessing at the result. Play, pause, and scrub anywhere in the clip while you decide. AUDIO PITCH, YOUR CHOICE Changing speed normally drags the pitch along with it, and voices come out squeaky. Keep the pitch where it was, or let it ride with the speed for the classic effect. One tap either way. PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE Whatever orientation you shot in comes back the same way, at the resolution you started with. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Your video never leaves it. There is no account to create, no upload, no ads, no analytics, and no crash reporting. The app asks for the camera and microphone only when you record, and for permission to add to your photo library only when you save. That permission is add-only, so the app cannot read what is already in your library. Picking an existing video goes through the system photo picker, which hands over just the one you chose. Free, with nothing to unlock.
