V1 is magnetic: drop a clip between two others and the track closes up round it. The title on V2 goes wherever you let go. Keys work too: focus a clip and use ← →.

What people actually edit

Nobody's first edit is a feature film.

It's four kids who can't wait for the cake. A dinner that ran late. The dog's first week home. Up you go, one more time. These are the edits people actually make, and they deserve a proper editor.

25 built-in templates start you off. Drop your photos and clips into the slots, type over the words, and it's an ordinary project, every clip and move yours to change.

Built for touch

Your thumbs have been training for this.

Years of scrolling, pinching and holding, finally put to work. Every move is timed so it never fights a scroll: a slide still scrolls, and a hold still holds.

  • 0.3 s

    Hold a clip

    It lifts. Carry it along the timeline or up a track, and a yellow line shows where it will land.

  • pinch

    Pinch the timeline

    From the whole project in view to 800 points a second. The tracks stretch under your fingers and only settle when you mean it.

  • 0.3 s

    Hold the picture

    It plays at 2× while you hold, forwards on the right half and backwards on the left.

  • tap

    Tap the picture

    The right third steps one frame forward, the left third one frame back. Quick taps keep stepping.

  • 0.14 s

    Press ⋯ and slide

    Every ⋯ and More opens as you press. Slide the same finger to a row, let go, and it runs.

  • 2 taps

    Double-tap a clip

    The Enhanced Editor opens on it, full screen, with the tabs that suit the clip.

  • 2 fingers

    Carry with a second finger

    While one finger carries a clip, a second on the overview strip brings any part of the project to meet it.

Now look underneath

Friendly on top. Pro all the way down.

Every screen here is the real app, cutting the photos from this page.

Counted, not claimed

Small screen. No small tools.

iPad and iPhone

The iPad on your lap. The iPhone in your pocket.

One Cold Editor, two shapes. On iPad, the Studio Bar opens panels either side of the picture. On iPhone it stands tall in portrait, with the tools in reach of your thumb.

  • Every edit behaves the same

    A split, a keyframe or a colour change does exactly the same thing on both.

  • Laid out for the glass you hold

    On iPad, panels either side, resized with a drag. On iPhone, one thing under the picture at a time.

  • The same editor underneath

    The same timeline, keyframes, colour, titles and export on each.

The whole toolbox

Every tool, by name.

Have a rummage. Filter by what you make, search by name (typos forgiven), or tap Select and pick the ones you'd try first, the way you pick clips.

Coming to iPad and iPhone

Next birthday, you're the editor.
