About AUTO MOTION

AUTO MOTION — automatic video editing.

Turn your iPhone photos and videos into a ready-to-share vertical clip — without manual cutting, endless rearranging, or trying to hit every beat by eye.

Choose your photos and videos, add music — Auto Motion analyzes the track and automatically edits your footage to its rhythm.

The app detects the tempo, musical accents, and changes in energy, then finds the best moments in your original videos and arranges your clips so the visuals move with the music.

This is more than a slideshow or a random cut. Auto Motion looks for the most expressive moments in your videos, determines where cuts work best, and turns your footage into a cohesive video that’s ready to share.

Music changes the edit

Changed the track? You don’t have to start over. Auto Motion can rebuild the edit around the new music — adjusting clip lengths, cut points, and the overall pace to match the new track.

  • Calm music — smoother editing.
  • An energetic track — more movement and more frequent cuts.
  • A strong beat — cuts aim to land on musical accents.

You control the result

Automatic editing is only the beginning. After generation, open the editor and fine-tune the moments you want: trim clips, change their order, replace footage, adjust transitions, and more.

Get started in just a few seconds:

  1. Photos & Videos
  2. Music
  3. Auto Motion
  4. Ready-to-share clip

Built for vertical content, Auto Motion is perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Add multiple videos, include photos, choose your music, and get an edit you don’t have to build from scratch.

Auto Motion — music sets the rhythm. You set the mood.

Not all features are available without a subscription. Basic automatic editing is available to try, while advanced tools, scenarios, and features are unlocked with a subscription.

Inside MOTION

Automatic editing first — then a timeline when you want one.

Photos and videos, then music. Auto Motion analyzes the track and builds a cohesive vertical clip. After generation, trim, reorder, replace footage, and adjust transitions.

Try the moods

Switch the recipe. Watch the story change.

Same media, different cut. MOTION’s recipes set pacing, camera motion, and transitions — or you keep Own Edit and build the timeline yourself.

Timeline

A real editor when you want one.

Trim, split, speed, volume, crop, filters, effects, and transitions live on a multi-track timeline. Video, photos, original audio, music, text, and stickers each keep their own lane.

Cinematic, Retro, Dynamic, Recap, Beat Pop, Beat Rhythm, Flow, Story, Velocity, Minimal, Travel, Flash, Zoom — or Own Edit for a fully manual cut.

What you get

Everything a short video needs — stills included.

From a photo dump that snaps to the kick, to a still that tilts in 3D, MOTION is built for rhythm-first storytelling on iPhone.

Montage recipes

Ready-made cuts with their own pacing, camera motion, and transitions. Recap turns a pile of photos into a sequence. Own Edit leaves the timeline in your hands.

Stick to the beat

Analyze the track, read BPM, and lock cuts, stickers, movement, and speed to the music. Nudge the rhythm offset until the hit lands exactly where you hear it.

3D Photo

Select a subject in one tap, then add volume with Depth and Camera. Soft, Cinematic, 3D, and Dynamic presets — export as video or GIF.

Timeline tools

Trim, split, speed, volume, Ken Burns-style motion, crop, filters, effects, and transitions — with undo, redo, and a preview that follows the cut.

Audio lanes

Original audio, imported music, sound effects, and voiceover. Fade in, fade out, and mix levels without flattening everything into one track.

Aa

Text and stickers

Place captions and sticker packs on their own layers. Move, rotate, and scale them, then snap motion to the beat when the energy needs a punch.

Looks and effects

Grain, glow, chrome, duotone, vignette, pulse, and more — plus color tools for tint, sharpness, and blur so each clip can carry its own mood.

Projects and export

Keep vertical stories, 4:5 posts, and other frames in a project grid. Export locally and save to Photos when you choose — including GIF for 3D Photo.

On-device processing

Import, montage, beat analysis, 3D depth, and export stay on the iPhone. MOTION does not upload your photos or videos to a server.

Access note

Core editing and Auto Motion are available on iPhone with iOS 16 or later. Not all features are available without a subscription. Basic automatic editing is available to try, while advanced tools, scenarios, and features are unlocked with a subscription.

Rhythm

Stick to the beat of the music.

MOTION listens to the track, maps the hits, and uses them as a grid. Smooth, Energetic, or Cinematic styles change how long shots linger and how sharp the moves feel. BPM and rhythm offset stay in your hands if the analysis needs a nudge.

Depth

3D Photo with volume.

A still does not have to sit still. MOTION separates the subject, adds parallax, and lets you ride Depth and Camera until the scene feels like it has air around it. Pair it with music and the subject can move on the beat.

Projects on iPhone with a privacy badge for on-device processing

Privacy

Full processing right on your iPhone.

No cloud render queue. No waiting for someone else’s server to finish a cut. Photos, camera clips, voiceovers, and exports stay on the device unless you choose to share them. Read how that works on the Privacy page.

Music sets the rhythm.

Add photos, videos, and a track — Auto Motion builds the cut. Then open the editor if you want to fine-tune.
