About

Seqento

Features
Read full description

Seqento is the video app for entrepreneurs, creators and artists who have no time to edit themselves. You film with your phone. Seqento comes up with an idea that fits your trade, writes the script that scrolls on your screen while you record, and edits everything into a finished video with subtitles, on-screen text and a suggested caption. WHO IT'S FOR Freelancers who don't want to lose another evening to editing. Small businesses that want to make their own content instead of hiring an agency. Creators who want to post more often without dropping quality. Artists and musicians who want to get their release noticed. HOW IT WORKS Pick an idea, or let Seqento come up with one for your line of work. Record with the built-in teleprompter, no memorizing lines. Seqento edits the video for you: cuts, subtitles, on-screen text. Review the result, ask for a revision if you like, and post. SUBSCRIPTIONS Try Seqento for free. Want more? Choose a subscription with a set number of ideas, scripts and edits per month, billed monthly or yearly (yearly saves up to 35%): Starter, for makers posting 1-2 videos a week. Includes a 7-day free trial. Pro, for makers who want to grow seriously, including trends and all courses. Studio, for anyone managing several brands or accounts. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple ID and renew automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. With a free trial you only pay once it ends.
