Your face. On anything. ReactionVid is the fastest way to record a reaction video on iPhone โ€” pick what you're reacting to, hit record, and your take lands on top as its own editable layer. FOUR WAYS TO REACT VIDEO Pick any clip from Photos or Files and record your reaction over it while it plays. Perfect for commentary, duets, reviews, and "watch this" moments. WEBSITE Open any web page inside the app and react while you scroll. The page is recorded like a mobile browsing session, with your face on top โ€” ideal for hot takes on news, drops, listings, and leaderboards. DUAL CAMERA Film the world with the back camera while the front camera records you. Both angles in one take โ€” the moment and your reaction to it, perfectly in sync. CONVERSATION MODE Use an optional staged conversation layout for commentary, skits, interviews, and response-style videos. It records your own camera and microphone over selected content, then keeps the result editable in the timeline. YOUR REACTION IS A REAL LAYER Unlike screen recorders that burn everything into one flat video, ReactionVid keeps your camera as a separate overlay. Move it, resize it, restyle it โ€” after you've recorded. โ€ข Background removal โ€” no green screen needed, just you floating over the content โ€ข Freeze & draw โ€” pause the moment and sketch right on it to make your point โ€ข Auto captions โ€” word-accurate subtitles generated on-device โ€ข Multi-layer timeline โ€” trim, split, and rearrange like a real editor โ€ข Color grade, transitions, effects โ€” polish the whole thing in seconds EXPORT ANYWHERE One tap exports sized for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Portrait-first, full quality, no watermark surprises. Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no upload, no waiting. Pick. Record. React. Post. REACTIONVID PRO Every editing tool is free to use. ReactionVid Pro removes the watermark from your exported reaction videos. โ€ข Weekly and monthly auto-renewable subscriptions, or a one-time lifetime unlock โ€ข Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation โ€ข Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends โ€ข Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Cutover films with both iPhone cameras at once and finishes the edit for you โ€” entirely on the device. FILM IT โ€ข Dual โ€” record the back camera and yourself at the same time, with your face floating anywhere on the frame. Move it, resize it, rotate it while you film. โ€ข React โ€” load any video and film yourself over it, cut out of your background. โ€ข Front and back single-camera takes, with live captions as you talk. CUT YOURSELF OUT Real person segmentation removes your background live โ€” a green screen with no green screen. You see it while filming, and the export re-renders it at full quality. POINT AT THINGS Turn on Point and touch the frame like a mouse. Your finger leaves a cursor on the recording, so people can follow what you are explaining. FINISH IT WITH A PIPELINE Build a recipe once and run it on every take: โ€ข Auto Captions โ€” on-device transcription with word-level timing โ€ข Trim Silence โ€” cuts dead air and filler words โ€ข Beep Words โ€” mutes anything you name โ€ข Auto Reframe โ€” recrops to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 โ€ข Color Look, Music Bed with ducking, Brand Kit intro, logo and outro โ€ข Review โ€” pause and approve before anything exports A Review step stops the run so you can check the result before it ships. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Capture, cutout, captions and colour all run on-device. Your recordings are never uploaded โ€” there is no server to upload them to. Export straight to Photos, or download to a computer over your own Wi-Fi. FREE Unlimited recording. Dual and React up to 1080p, green-screen cutout, live captions, three looks, one pipeline of up to four steps, export with a watermark. CUTOVER PRO Up to 4K, no watermark, unlimited pipelines and steps, the full look pack, Trim Silence and Beep Words, and Wi-Fi export to a computer. Monthly or yearly, or a one-time Lifetime unlock. Best on iPhone 15 Pro and newer. On iPhone 14 and standard 15, dual high-resolution capture may run slower or at reduced quality โ€” the app warns you first.
