Record and edit
Film it, cut it and caption it on your phone.
Record with a prompter, get a first cut with captions, and fix it by dropping lines, all in the iPhone app.
What it does
A prompter at your pace
Record with a prompter that scrolls your script at your pace, and keep every take.
Takes file themselves
One tap files a take in the planned video it matches, in B-roll, or in a new topic named from your first words. A take that clearly matches files itself, and a take with no talking offers B-roll first.
Edit clips from Photos
Pick up to 30 videos and photos, and they open in the editor in the order you picked them.
Edit by lines
Lines lists what you said. Tap one to drop it and the cut moves into the pause beside it, so no word gets clipped.
Checks before you post
Before you post, checks catch a cut inside a word, a shot under two seconds, text over a face and sound that peaks too loud. Add to post applies the fixes, and the cover row puts the sharpest frames first.
Claude edits it too
Claude edits the same video by line number from any chat, and your phone renders the result.
A first cut, done for you
The first cut puts your best takes in order, cuts long pauses and turns captions on. What changed lists each step, with Undo.
Cutaways, fades and voiceover
Add a clip at the playhead, before a line or at the end, or lay a take over the video as a cutaway while your voice keeps going. Fade between clips, let the sound start early or run on, and record a voiceover.
Where viewers left
After it posts, Claude lines the retention curve up with your cuts and names the line where viewers left.
