About Clipsmasher: Video Editor
Clip Smasher is a full video editor for your phone, with one thing most of them do not have: you can type or say what you want, and watch it happen to footage you already shot. Type "put all the clips on the timeline, chop out the parts where there is no talking, use pixelize transitions" and it does exactly that. One undo takes it all back. If there is a part it cannot follow it changes nothing and asks you to retype just that bit. To be clear about what this is: Clip Smasher edits video you import. It does not generate footage, images or voices from a prompt. Your own clips, your own edit - just described instead of tapped. And when you want to do it by hand, everything is there. A REAL MULTI-TRACK TIMELINE Stack video, audio, text and image tracks in one project. Trim with handles, split at the playhead, ripple delete, drag clips between tracks, step one frame at a time and pinch to zoom. Track headers carry opacity, volume, blend mode and ducking. SPEED RAMPS AND SLOW MOTION From 0.05x to 8x. Build a ramp inside a single clip that eases into slow motion and back out, with the ease set separately at each end and frame-accurate nudging. The clip's length on the timeline updates as you drag, so what you see is the running time of the finished video. REAL DATAMOSH TRANSITIONS The Glitch transition smears one shot into the next using the compression data of your own two clips - not a glitch graphic laid over the top. Cut into a whip pan and the previous frame is torn off the screen; cut into a still shot and it holds. Melt lets the picture reassemble; Bloom never does. EFFECTS THAT KEYFRAME Brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, warmth, shadows, grayscale, sepia, invert, blur, sharpen, motion blur, vignette, film grain, an earthquake shake and a VHS tape with twelve dials of its own. Scale, position, rotate and flip too. Every amount can be keyframed across a clip, which is how a still shot becomes a slow zoom and a look builds through a scene. TWELVE TRANSITIONS Glitch, crossfade, dip to black, dip to white, dissolve, wipes, slides, circle open, pixelize and clock wipe. TEXT AND IMAGE OVERLAYS Titles, captions, lower thirds, end cards and countdowns in thirteen fonts. Text can fly in and out at any angle with a motion blur trail, type itself on one character at a time, and fade. Drop in a logo or watermark anywhere in the frame, for a moment or for the whole video. AUDIO WORTH MIXING Volume, pan and fades per clip. Duck the music under a voice automatically. Bass, treble, low and high-pass filters, reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, tremolo, distortion, noise reduction, normalize and loudness matching. Audio effects play live, so you hear the slider as you move it. IT ALL RUNS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-in. No upload. Importing, editing, effects, understanding your instructions and exporting all happen on the device, so the whole editor works in airplane mode. Your footage never leaves your phone. EXPORT Standard MP4 up to 4K UHD, at your project's own resolution and frame rate, with the file size shown before you commit. Saves straight to your gallery. ALSO IN THERE A media bin with folders for bigger projects. Templates, including ready-made intros and outros, plus your own finished timelines saved for reuse. Proxy playback so 4K stays smooth while you work - exports always use your original footage. FREE AND PRO Clip Smasher is free to use, and every editing feature is in the free version, including natural-language editing, datamosh and 4K export. The free tier saves one project and adds a small 5 second wait before launching. Pro has no wait and unlimited projects, as either a monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
