A full video editor on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone

Overview

The editor opens with a preview canvas on top and a multi-track timeline below. Drop in up to 64 videos and photos, trim them with handles, split at the playhead, long-press to reorder, and undo anything. Each clip can be sped up or slowed down from 0.25× to 4×, cropped, rotated, mirrored, reversed, colour-corrected or held as a 2-second freeze frame. Fourteen transitions, from a plain fade to wipes, a circle and pixelate, sit between clips at 0.3 to 1.5 seconds. Seventeen filters, such as Film, Mono and Noir, and seventeen effects, such as glitch, VHS, light leak and kaleidoscope, go on their own row of the timeline: each one covers just the stretch you drag it over, at the strength you choose.

Layers go over the video: text in four fonts with shadow, outline and animations, pictures, a second video as picture-in-picture, emoji and 39 stickers. Drag, pinch and rotate them, set opacity and a time range, and keyframe position and opacity. Green screen removes a colour from picture and video layers. Subtitles have their own row and one shared style: type them at the playhead, import an SRT or VTT file, or save them as SRT. Auto captions turn the speech in your clips into subtitles you can edit, using the phone's own speech recognition for the app's language. They work only where the phone has an on-device speech model (on Android, version 13 or later) and may miss some words, so read them through before you export.

For sound, add music from mp3, m4a, aac, wav, flac or ogg files or from another video, trim and fade each music clip, and record a voice-over. Choose a canvas of 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3 or 3:4, or keep the original, with a background colour behind clips that do not fill it. Save a draft at any point and come back to it later from its thumbnail. Export is MP4 at 720p, 1080p or 4K, at 24, 30 or 60 fps, in H.264 or, where the phone has an HEVC encoder, HEVC; 4K is offered when the first clip is 4K or the project is only photos. The preview is approximate, the export is exact, and it all happens on your device.
