How to Edit a Video on Your Phone | ReelCraft
Frequently asked questions
- What is ReelCraft's timeline actually capable of?
- Layer video, text, music, stickers and effects, then split, trim, speed-ramp, reverse and keyframe anything on it. The playhead is frame-accurate, with pinch-to-zoom.
- Does editing a video on a phone slow the process down?
- ReelCraft edits entirely on device, so there is no upload or download step in the middle of an edit. It also works offline.
- Does ReelCraft put a watermark on exports?
- No. Pro exports go up to 4K at 60fps with no watermark, and save straight to your Photos library.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is no account and no sign-up.
What you can do on the timeline
ReelCraft's editor is a multi-track timeline, not a row of buttons. That distinction decides what the app can express:
- Layer video, text, music, stickers and effects on separate tracks
- Split a clip at any point, trim either side
- Speed-ramp — accelerate into or out of a section rather than changing speed for the whole clip
- Reverse a clip
- Keyframe a property so it animates across the clip
- A frame-accurate playhead with pinch-to-zoom for checking exactly where a cut sits
Speed-ramping and keyframing are the two that matter most for short-form video. A clip that eases into the first beat of a drop reads as edited; the same clip at constant speed reads as a recording.
Editing happens on your device
There is no upload step. Your footage is not sent anywhere to be edited, and the app works with no connection at all. For a large clip library that is the difference between editing being fast and editing being a series of waiting.
Export
- Up to 4K at 60fps
- No watermark
- Saves straight to Photos
Then the usual finishing passes are available on the same timeline: cinematic filters and colour grading, transitions, overlays, stickers, and voiceover if you want narration rather than music.
