Blendeo vs ChopShop

Blendeo, the most advanced long exposure photo and video editor. First of its kind, it lets you change exposure time after capture to blend imagery that gets noticed. The hardest part of creating amazing long exposures is out of the control of even the best photographers. You can use a tripod or stabilization, frame the scene just right, but when do you start and stop the capture? With Blendeo you don’t need to get lucky; you take control. No need for ND filters, calculating shutter time, aperture, or ISO. Simply capture for up to 5 minutes or import a video and edit the perfect long exposure with Blendeo. "I can quickly create a Sunrise photo with smooth water thanks to Blendeo. No need for waiting 5 minutes with a $500 filter on my lens." — Jason Teale HOW TO BLENDEO ・ Capture in-app or import a video to create a document ・ Choose the image type: Photo or Video ・ Choose the blending mode: Motion Blur or Light Trails ・ Turn the Exposure Time dial ・ Scrub the timeline to get the best looking blend ・ Export and share as a photo, Live Photo, or video ・ Send to Cinemagraph Pro for iOS to create a long exposure cinemagraph BLENDEO PHOTO ・ Adjust the start frame by moving the indicator on the timeline ・ Set the exposure time by turning the dial ・ Exposure time can be from 1/30 second to the duration of the capture time (maximum 5 minutes) for photo BLENDEO VIDEO ・ Adjust the start and end frames by moving the trimmer on the timeline ・ Set the exposure time by turning the dial ・ Exposure time can be from 1/30 second to half of the duration of the capture time (maximum 5 minutes) for video ・ Set the playback speed MOTION BLUR BLENDING Great daytime effects as photos or videos: ・ Soften moving water and clouds ・ Make a car look like it was speeding by ・ Ghostly shadows of people walking ・ Make transient objects like people and cars disappear in a busy place with a long exposure time of minutes LIGHT TRAILS BLENDING Great nighttime effects as photos or videos: ・ Star trails through the sky ・ Streaks of light from moving planes, trains, and automobiles ・ Amusement park rides ・ Sparklers and fireworks MADE FOR iOS Blendeo is powered by the amazingly fast hardware in iPhone and iPad, along with the specially-tuned software frameworks Metal, Vision, Core Image, Core ML, and AVFoundation.

ChopShop is the everyday audio and video editor for iPhone and iPad — for the cuts you make 20 times a week but don't want to fire up a full editing suite for. Import a clip from Files or Photos. Trim the edges. Split at the playhead. Drag to reorder. Crop on export. Save. Done. No "create new project" dialog, no media-import wizard. The timeline appears the moment the clip lands. Lossless when it can be If your edit doesn't need re-encoding, ChopShop won't. Same codec, same bitrate, no quality loss — exports finish in seconds, not minutes. The app falls back to a clean re-encode the moment you add a crop or stack mismatched formats, and the status line tells you which path's running before you export. The cuts you actually make • Trim clip edges with a live source preview at the new in/out point • Split at the playhead • Drag to reorder, drop new clips between, collapse gaps with a tap • Retime any clip — 0.5×, 2×, or a custom rate • Reverse any clip, pre-rendered in the background so playback stays fluid • Crop on export with per-edge insets and a lock for uniform crops • Frame-accurate playhead and clip nudges • Audio + video on separate rails — unlink to trim them independently, multi-select across both • Mixed-aspect timelines: each clip displays at its own native ratio • Copy the current frame to the clipboard as PNG Opens what you throw at it MP4, MOV, M4A, MP3, and WAV open instantly.
