## What it does

### A prompter at your pace

Record with a prompter that scrolls your script at your pace, and keep every take.

### Takes file themselves

One tap files a take in the planned video it matches, in B-roll, or in a new topic named from your first words. A take that clearly matches files itself, and a take with no talking offers B-roll first.

### Edit clips from Photos

Pick up to 30 videos and photos, and they open in the editor in the order you picked them.

### Edit by lines

Lines lists what you said. Tap one to drop it and the cut moves into the pause beside it, so no word gets clipped.

### Checks before you post

Before you post, checks catch a cut inside a word, a shot under two seconds, text over a face and sound that peaks too loud. Add to post applies the fixes, and the cover row puts the sharpest frames first.

### Claude edits it too

Claude edits the same video by line number from any chat, and your phone renders the result.

### A first cut, done for you

The first cut puts your best takes in order, cuts long pauses and turns captions on. What changed lists each step, with Undo.

### Cutaways, fades and voiceover

Add a clip at the playhead, before a line or at the end, or lay a take over the video as a cutaway while your voice keeps going. Fade between clips, let the sound start early or run on, and record a voiceover.

### Where viewers left

After it posts, Claude lines the retention curve up with your cuts and names the line where viewers left.

## How record and edit compare
