iPhone Video Editors: Comparing the Main Options
Each iPhone editing option serves a different need. Match the tool to your content type.
| Decision | Other Apps | Editly |
|---|---|---|
| iMovie | iMovie: free Apple native app — polished, simple, no silence removal, no AI captions | Editly via Safari: AI-powered browser editing — silence removal and captions from a prompt |
| CapCut | CapCut: best free iPhone editor — effects library, TikTok integration, mobile timeline | Editly via Safari: better for long footage and AI automation — use CapCut for phone clips |
| Silence removal on iPhone | iPhone apps (iMovie, CapCut): no automatic silence removal — manual scrubbing required | Editly: silence removal as a prompt instruction — applied automatically |
| Long footage editing | iPhone apps: performance issues and timeline complexity for recordings over 15+ minutes | Editly: cloud processing handles long footage without iPhone performance constraints |
