Remove the audio tracks from your existing videos in a quick and easy way, while keeping the video resolution and quality intact. Very useful, before sharing on your favorite social network, when: • you don't want your friends to hear everything that was said during the video. • you want to remove an annoying background noise, to focus on the images only. The Input video can be imported from your device in several ways. The modified version (if there is one) or the original version of the video are both available. The camera can be used directly to record a video if needed. You can also connect your device to your computer in order to drag and drop specific videos (Files feature). The output video can be exported in several ways. Create a new video in the Photo app or in the Files app. Directly modify the input video by adding an edited version. Share the video to another application. This application can run, on your iPhone and your iPad, as a standalone application, a Photo Extension, or as an Action Extension (from the compatible applications like the Photo app). Portrait and Landscape orientations are supported in all screens. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. You will find the original and intuitive user interface, common to all our videos applications. These applications have been featured many times by Apple and various websites.
