On iOS, users can put several videos in one frame, add photos, trim clips, add music, and export a video or still image. There are 37 layouts, including grids and asymmetric arrangements, with editing controls for individual cells, sound balance, text, borders, backgrounds, colour filters, and playback speed. Exports can use five aspect ratios and save to Photos. Media can also be imported from iCloud Drive and Files, and exports can be opened in Instagram or TikTok.
