Reelsmith: Video Editor Free app

Reelsmith is a free video and photo editor for iPhone and iPad that does the busywork for you. Choose a few clips and its automatic edit picks the best moments, cuts them to the beat of a song and frames the shot for whichever platform you post to. For talking-head videos, a one-tap cleanup strips out pauses, filler words and repeats, and captions are generated from your speech with every word editable.

Underneath sits a full editor: trimming, splitting and reordering clips, 13 transitions, slow motion and speed ramps, keyframes, green-screen keying, background blur, automatic reframing, titles in 54 colors, stickers, filters and your own .cube LUTs. Audio tools cover voiceovers, sound effects, ducking music under speech and noise reduction, and there is a small library of original tracks. Photos get the same filters and retouching tools, plus collages of two to nine pictures.

Exports go up to 4K at 60 frames per second, sized for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and YouTube, and never carry a watermark. Everything runs on the device: no account, no ads, no tracking and no uploads, and projects sync through your own iCloud.
