ArtCut
Local-first video editor
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
ArtCut is a local-first video editing app for everyday creators. Import multiple clips from Photos, arrange them on a timeline, trim, split, adjust speed, apply slow motion, reverse clips, and add transitions. You can also add borders, captions, stickers, doodles, mosaic areas, cover titles, and picture-in-picture frames.
The app is built with SwiftUI and AVFoundation. Core editing work is handled on device where possible, and the main workflow does not require an account. Exported videos can be shared or saved to Photos. Drafts are stored locally so you can continue editing later.
Key features:
- Multi-clip import and timeline stitching
- Trim, split, speed change, slow motion, and reverse rendering
- Scale, rotate, flip, and border controls
- Captions, stickers, cover titles, doodles, mosaics, and picture-in-picture
- Cross-track transitions including dissolve, slide, and flash
- Automatic captions using Apple's speech recognition framework
- Volume, mute, fade in/out, and audio extraction
- Local drafts, undo/redo, and cache cleanup
- HD video export, sharing, and saving to Photos
- No account required, with local drafts and manageable caches
ArtCut is designed for daily clips, travel videos, class materials, social posts, and personal portfolios.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1. **Fix Video Preview and Export Crashes**
- Fix crashes caused by `AVPlayerItem` using video composition configurations that include `AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool`.
- Use a safe configuration without offline Core Animation tools for preview playback; offline export still retains sticker, subtitle, and animation rendering.
- Add protection and recovery prompts for missing video tracks, invalid video durations, corrupted draft data, and missing assets.
- Improve handling for export cancellation, failed retries, and replacement of missing assets.
2. **Enhance Editing Experience and iPad Adaptation**
- Fix issues with iPad landscape mode, split‑view layouts, preview areas, and tool panels being obscured.
- Replace timeline and draft list thumbnails with actual video frames, and adjust cropping ranges based on actual asset durations to avoid incorrect placeholder images.
- Improve state synchronization across timeline sorting, trimming, splitting, audio, subtitles, filters, and export preview.
- Support importing images as picture‑in‑picture assets after converting them to videos.
