Video Editor for iPad That Cuts the Pauses for You
BlitzCut is a video editor for iPad built for footage of people talking. It removes silence, adds word-by-word captions, and lets you cut by deleting words from the transcript, with more screen room than a phone and none of the setup of a desktop suite.
iPad editors like LumaFusion and iMovie are built around a timeline. If you filmed yourself talking, the real work is finding every pause and retake, cutting them, and adding captions, and doing that clip by clip is slow even on a big screen.
BlitzCut is built around the transcript. Import a recording from Photos or Files, run AI Cut to remove the silences, then transcribe it and fix what's wrong by editing text. Check it on the larger iPad screen, then export.
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.
Timeline when you need it
Trim, split, reorder, and undo, plus overlays, music, and voice-over tracks.
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 a recording
Pick a clip from Photos or Files, from a quick take to a long lesson or podcast 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 Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, or horizontal for YouTube.
Why use a video editor for iPad built for talking videos
- Silence removal, transcript, and captions are one workflow instead of three apps
- The bigger screen gives the transcript, preview, and timeline more room than a phone
- Projects sync over iCloud, so you can film on iPhone, edit on iPad, and finish on a Mac
- No watermark on exports

Anyone replacing iMovie or LumaFusion for talking videos
