InShot is a mobile video editing application that provides tools for creating, modifying, and exporting videos. The core editing toolkit includes trimming, cutting, and merging capabilities that allow users to reorganize footage into new sequences. Individual clips can be split into segments, and unwanted portions cropped away. The aspect ratio of videos can be adjusted to suit different platforms and viewing contexts. Playback speed can be adjusted from 0.2x to 100x; speed ramping enables variable pacing within clips. The app can reverse or rewind video clips, generate photo slideshows, and create stop-motion animations from image sequences.
Visual effects and styling options form a substantial part of the editing environment. The transition library contains over 60 options for connecting clips. Filters include movie-style presets such as VHS, Glitch, Retro, and RGB treatments. Color adjustments include brightness, contrast, and saturation controls, with a color picker for precise color selection. For advanced compositing, the app supports keyframe animations on text, stickers, and picture-in-picture elements, allowing these components to move and transform throughout a video. Blend modes provide additional control over how layered elements interact. Chroma key functionality enables green screen effects, and a shape mask tool allows for masked picture-in-picture compositions.
Audio work extends beyond simple music addition. Users can extract audio from existing videos and add music from either the built-in library or custom audio files. Music volume can be adjusted with fade-in and fade-out options. A voice changer with effects allows modification of dialogue or narration. The app supports recording voice-overs directly within the editing interface. A sound effects library provides additional audio elements for layering.
Text and graphic elements can be added through multiple methods. Text overlays support multiple font options. Subtitles can be added to videos. Animated stickers and emoji are available as overlay options. Custom images and memes can be imported and placed on videos. Background patterns can serve as fill or backdrop elements. Picture-in-picture layering is supported with customizable positioning.
Photo editing capabilities exist alongside video tools. Photo backgrounds can be removed or replaced; a cutout tool allows for isolating subjects from their background. Photo collages can be created using multiple available layouts. Over 1000 stickers are provided for photo editing.
Export flexibility includes 4K resolution support and custom resolution options. Multiple aspect ratios are supported, including 1:1 square, 9:16 vertical, and 16:9 widescreen formats. Content can be shared directly to social media platforms from within the app. The application is available without requiring payment for core editing functionality.
Story creation for social media is a dedicated feature of the app. The app can automatically format video and photo compositions to match the aspect ratio and display specifications of popular social platforms, eliminating the need for manual cropping or resizing adjustments when publishing to different networks.
