About

Trim Forge

Features
Read full description

Trim Forge helps you turn longer videos into focused clips without setting up a full editing project. It is especially useful for camera and drone recordings, including videos captured with DJI drones, when you want to keep only the flight highlights. Create a project, choose a video from your library, mark the parts you want to keep, preview the selected ranges, and export the result back to Photos. Trim Forge is built for practical clip preparation: saving drone footage highlights, cutting long recordings into shorter segments, and keeping simple trimming work organized by project. What you can do: - Create local projects for videos you want to trim. - Choose videos from your photo library. - Trim camera, drone, and DJI drone videos into focused clips. - Add one or more clip ranges to a project. - Set clip start and end points from the video preview. - Play selected clips in sequence before exporting. - Export selected ranges as one combined video. - Export selected ranges as separate clips. - Save exported videos back to Photos in a Trim Forge album. - Keep project data stored locally on your device. - Switch between system, light, and dark appearance. Trim Forge always uses lossless copy export, so compatible videos can be trimmed without re-encoding. Export support depends on the source video format and the device. Privacy: Trim Forge does not require an account and does not send your videos to a server. Project metadata is stored locally on your device. The app requests photo library access so you can choose source videos and save exported clips back to Photos. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: VideoVault at none against Trim Forge's shown. Trim Forge's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
