EVERYTHING THE MAC DOES — BY TOUCH

A full studio, rebuilt native for iPhone and iPad.

01 · CAPTURE

Capture anywhere

Camera recording — front or back, with a live background you can blur, cut out or replace while you film, baked straight into the recording
Screen recording (ReplayKit) and whole-device broadcast capture
Import from Photos or Files and edit footage you already shot
Segmented, crash-safe recording so a call or a low battery never costs you the take

02 · EDIT

Edit like a pro, by touch

Multi-clip timeline — cut, trim, ripple-delete, drag to reorder, per-clip volume
Zoom blocks, retime and basic speed — free, like the rest of the editor
Pro: keyframes with a curve editor, feathered effect masks, speed ramps, Color Match and a live luma scope
25 transitions and 25 cinematic color looks with an intensity slider, plus .cube LUT import

03 · ON-DEVICE AI

On-device AI

Auto-Polish — the one-tap retention edit: silence & filler cuts, a steady cut cadence with varied transitions and a matched sound effect under every cut, Beast keyword captions with emoji, noise removal + voice polish, a hook title with an opening punch-in, emphasis zooms, a color grade, mood-matched music with an arc, and pattern interrupts
Clean Up — remove silences and filler words in one pass, from the on-device transcript
Make Vertical — face-aware 9:16 reframe for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Reel Pack — word-pop captions, a vertical reframe and a transition on every cut, in one tap
Transcript editing — delete a word and the video ripple-cuts with it
Polish Voice — automatic on-device noise removal, de-ess, compression and loudness normalization, with music Auto-Duck under your voice
Auto B-Roll — cutaway cards generated on-device from your caption keywords, no API key and no network; add a free Pexels or Pixabay key only if you want real stock footage
Beat Sync — cut and punch to the beat of your music bed
AI Assistant — edit by typing plain English, 51 editing actions; only your prompt leaves the phone, never your video

04 · SOUND & CAPTIONS

Sound & captions that sell

9 viral caption presets with active-word highlight, SRT import and a transcript word editor
Caption translation into 19 languages, fully on-device via Apple Translation (iOS 18+)
8 one-tap title templates with 12 kinetic entrances, plus Text Behind Subject

SHOT ON IPHONE, FINISHED ANYWHERE

Start in your pocket. Hand it off to the Mac.

Record and rough-cut on iPhone or iPad, then hand the project to the Mac app as a .zella file to finish on a bigger screen — same timeline, same effects, nothing re-rendered in the cloud. Or export a platform-ready reel right from the phone and post it before you get home.
