Video Editor for iOS That Cuts the Pauses for You
BlitzCut is a video editor for iOS built for footage of people talking. It removes silence, adds word-by-word captions, and lets you cut by deleting words from the transcript, on iPhone and iPad, with projects synced between them.
Most iOS editors, like iMovie, CapCut, InShot, VN, and LumaFusion, are built around effects and a timeline. If you filmed yourself talking, the job is different: find every pause and retake, cut them, and add captions. Doing that clip by clip on a phone or iPad is slow.
BlitzCut is built around the transcript. Import a clip from Photos or Files, run AI Cut to remove the silences, then transcribe it and fix what's wrong by editing text. Start on your iPhone, finish on your iPad or Mac, and export for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
Everything you need, in one app
Automatic silence removal
Pauses and dead air are cut in one pass, with adjustable padding around speech.
Edit by transcript
Select words, delete filler and retakes, and the video follows the text.
Animated captions
Word-by-word captions with styles, fonts, colors, outlines, and shadows.
Aspect ratio and reframing
9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 presets, with speaker tracking when you crop to vertical.
AI editor
Describe an edit in plain language, translate the transcript, or add motion graphics.
How it works
Three steps from raw footage to finished video.
Import from Photos or Files
Pick a clip you just filmed on your iPhone, or a longer recording.
Cut, transcribe, and caption
Run AI Cut to remove the silences, transcribe the speech, then add animated captions from Subtitles.
Fix it by editing the text
Delete a word or sentence in the transcript and that footage is cut. Export vertical for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, or horizontal for YouTube.
The timeline is still there when you want it: trim, split, reorder, undo.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the best video editor for iOS?
- It depends on what you film. iMovie is free and covers simple edits, CapCut and InShot are popular for effects and templates, and LumaFusion suits multi-track projects on iPad. For footage of someone talking to the camera, BlitzCut saves the most time because it removes silence, builds captions, and lets you edit from the transcript.
- How do I remove silence from a video on iPhone?
- Open the video in BlitzCut and run AI Cut. Every pause is cut in one pass, and you can adjust the padding if the cuts feel too tight, so you don't have to split and delete gaps by hand on the timeline.
- How do I add captions to a video on iPhone?
- Import the clip into BlitzCut, transcribe it, and apply word-by-word animated captions from Subtitles. Correct any word in the transcript, pick a caption style, and export.
- How do I remove filler words like "um" on iPhone?
- Transcribe the clip in BlitzCut, then select the filler words in the transcript and delete them. The matching footage is cut, so you don't have to hunt for each one on the timeline.
- Is there a free video editor for iOS with no watermark?
- iMovie is free and doesn't add a watermark. BlitzCut is free to download with a 3-day free trial, and its exports don't carry a watermark. After the trial you need a paid plan to keep using it.
- Does BlitzCut work on both iPhone and iPad?
- Yes. BlitzCut runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, projects sync over iCloud, and one subscription covers all three. If you buy on blitzcutai.com/pricing, the same subscription also works in the Android app.
- Can I edit a long video on iPhone?
- Yes. Silence removal and transcription work on multi-hour recordings, though long files take longer to process and use more storage. If you'd rather finish on a bigger screen, projects sync to iPad and Mac over iCloud.
- Is BlitzCut available on Android?
- Yes. BlitzCut is built for talking-head videos and is now available on Android through Google Play. The workflows and screenshots on this page describe the Apple apps. Check Google Play and the Android app for current Android features, device compatibility, and purchase options.
