Then ramp the speed on a curve, boost it to 240FPS for slow motion, and finish with true optical-flow motion blur. Motion Track is a full video editor built around motion — stabilization, tracking, speed, effects, captions, text and color — plus a photo editor and collage. All on-device. Your videos never leave your phone. STABILIZE - Stabilize — smooth out handheld shake in one tap, at a strength you can change any time.
