AUTO MOTION — automatic video editing. Turn your iPhone photos and videos into a ready-to-share vertical clip — without manual cutting, endless rearranging, or trying to hit every beat by eye. Choose your photos and videos, add music — Auto Motion analyzes the track and automatically edits your footage to its rhythm. The app detects the tempo, musical accents, and changes in energy, then finds the best moments in your original videos and arranges your clips so the visuals move with the music. This is more than a slideshow or a random cut. Auto Motion looks for the most expressive moments in your videos, determines where cuts work best, and turns your footage into a cohesive video that’s ready to share. Music changes the edit Changed the track? You don’t have to start over. Auto Motion can rebuild the edit around the new music — adjusting clip lengths, cut points, and the overall pace to match the new track. Calm music — smoother editing. An energetic track — more movement and more frequent cuts. A strong beat — cuts aim to land on musical accents. You control the result Automatic editing is only the beginning. After generation, open the editor and fine-tune the moments you want: trim clips, change their order, replace footage, adjust transitions, and more. Get started in just a few seconds: Photos & Videos → Music → Auto Motion → Ready-to-share clip. Built for vertical content, Auto Motion is perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Add multiple videos, include photos, choose your music, and get an edit you don’t have to build from scratch. Auto Motion — music sets the rhythm. You set the mood. Not all features are available without a subscription. Basic automatic editing is available to try, while advanced tools, scenarios, and features are unlocked with a subscription.

Video Editor — Edit Everything On Your Device A powerful video editor for iPhone and iPad built for fast, precise editing without accounts, servers, or uploads. Trim and split videos, adjust colors, add captions, remove backgrounds, apply effects, edit audio, control speed, and export up to 4K at 60 fps — all directly on your device. Your videos stay in the app's private storage until you choose to delete them. Key Features: - Video Timeline Editing - Color & Filter Adjustment - Offline Auto Captions - Background Removal - Add Text, Stickers & Emoji - Add Music & Voiceover Editing - Add Voice Effects - Video Speed & Canvas Control - 4K/60 FPS Video Export - Private On-Device Editing A TIMELINE BUILT FOR A THUMB Trim, split, reorder and duplicate clips on a timeline you can actually hit, at a zoom that makes a single frame reachable. Every step is undoable, and the preview shows the finished video rather than a guess you only see at export. Nine transitions sit between clips. COLOUR YOU CONTROL 21 filters with adjustable intensity, plus 14 manual adjustments: brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, highlights, shadows, temperature, tint, vibrance, hue, fade, sharpness, vignette and grain. Add eight effects — Shake, RGB Split, Glitch, VHS, Light Leak, Film Burn, Bokeh and Strobe. CAPTIONS, WRITTEN OFFLINE Captions come from the clip's own speech, word by word, recognised on the device. No audio or transcript is sent anywhere. Correct a line and your edit survives regeneration. Set the font, size, colour and position once and every line follows. CUT OUT THE BACKGROUND Separate a person from the background without a green screen. Blur the original background, replace it with a colour, or remove it entirely. TEXT, STICKERS AND EMOJI 16 typefaces, 572 drawn stickers, 603 drawn emoji and 46 aesthetic overlays. Place, scale and rotate anything anywhere in the frame, then pin it to the part of the clip where it belongs. SOUND Bring in music, record a voiceover against the preview, and shape both: trim, loop, fade, duck the original audio and set volume per clip. Seven voice effects range from Chipmunk to Cave. SPEED AND FRAME Change video speed from 0.25x to 4x, with pitch preserved unless you want it otherwise. Choose from eight canvas presets — 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 3:4, 4:3, 21:9 and original — over a colour or blurred copy of the frame. EXPORT Export up to 4K at 60 fps in MP4 or MOV, using H.264 or HEVC, with bitrate control when you want it. Finished videos go straight to your photo library and into an album of their own. PRIVACY, PLAINLY The app makes no network requests. There is no account, analytics, tracking or third-party data sharing. Camera, microphone, photo library and speech recognition are requested only when needed, and speech recognition runs on the device. FREE, AND PRO The editor is free and unlimited — no export count, project cap or trial clock. Free exports include a small watermark and support up to 720p. Video Editor Pro removes the watermark and unlocks 4K at 60 fps, captions, background removal, every filter, effect, font, sticker, emoji and voice effect, extra transitions, MOV, HEVC and custom bitrate export. SUBSCRIPTION Video Editor Pro is available as two auto-renewing subscription plans: Video Editor Pro Weekly — one week Video Editor Pro Yearly — one year The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
