Captionry vs EditLay

Auto-caption your videos in seconds, entirely on your iPhone. Nothing is ever uploaded — not your video, not your audio, not to us, not to Apple. Import one clip or several, and Captionry assembles, transcribes, and burns in clean, readable captions — no watermark, no subscription, no paywall. MULTI-CLIP ASSEMBLY Import up to 10 clips at once, reorder them, and trim each one's start and end before they join into a single continuous video. Captions are generated per clip and never straddle a cut. A REAL TIMELINE EDITOR Pro Editor gives you an actual multi-track timeline — split clips, drag captions into place, pinch to resize, scrub the filmstrip — with full undo/redo, not just a single preview screen. DUAL CAPTIONS Add a second, translated caption line in one tap — also entirely on-device, using Apple's built-in translation. Great for reaching a wider audience or for language-learning content, without a translator or a second editing pass. 100% ON-DEVICE Captionry has no server. Your video and its audio never leave your phone — captions and translations are both generated locally, using speech recognition and translation built into iOS. Most of the app works fine with no internet connection at all, including in airplane mode. FEATURES • Import and assemble up to 10 clips into one continuous timeline • On-device transcription in dozens of languages — pick which one your video is actually spoken in • Optional dual/bilingual translated second caption line, styled independently • 8 caption styles, each with its own font, size, color, and background customization • Split, trim, drag, and restyle captions right on the timeline • Edit any line before exporting, including the translated line • Preview right in the app — no extra apps needed to check your captions • Resumes automatically if you close the app mid-edit • Export in seconds, saved straight to Photos Built as a fast, honest alternative to editors that paywall auto-captions, translation, and multi-clip editing behind a subscription. Captionry is free — no ads, no in-app purchases, no watermark, ever. No accounts. No ads. No subscriptions. Just captions, done right.

A free video editor for iPhone with no watermark, no ads, no subscription and no length limit. The interface is in English, with Polish available. You pick your language the first time you open the app and can switch it any time in Settings. Import footage from your camera roll or record straight in the app, cut it on a multi-track timeline and export up to 4K. Send the finished film directly to Instagram Stories or TikTok. Multi-track timeline Trim with handles, split clips, long-press and drag to reorder, pinch with two fingers to zoom. Stop the playhead and you see that exact frame, with a frame-by-frame step either side of it, so a cut lands where you meant it to. Over 500 looks and 500 effects Adjust exposure, contrast, temperature and tinting. Plus transitions and camera moves that give rhythm to ordinary phone footage. Animated captions Choose the typeface, the size and the colour of caption text, on top of 500 ready styles and 525 entrance and exit animations, gradients, outlines and backdrops. Automatic captions are recognised straight from the recording on your device, so you never retype dialogue by hand. Automatic edit to music The app detects the beat of a track, matches shot length to the tempo and adds a look, camera move and title card by itself. You get a finished draft you can refine. Export and peace of mind Export up to 4K, or use Quick Export at half resolution for fast checks. Every project keeps up to 25 versions and backs up to your own iCloud, so nothing gets lost.
