Emulsio vs Kapwing

Emulsio is an Apple-device app for stabilizing, editing, transcoding, and enhancing video on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It compensates for horizontal, vertical, and rotational camera motion as well as rolling-shutter distortion. On-device Core ML processing can create slow motion up to 10× slower, and frame rates can be increased by up to 400%. The app can upscale HD video to 4K or beyond and supports 10-bit HDR, including Dolby Vision and HLG/PQ. It also works with footage from GoPro action cameras and DJI drones, and exports processed video to compatible apps, services, and social networks such as TikTok and Instagram. The product page says processing, including AI, happens on the device and claims no accounts, data collection, or tracking. The free app costs nothing and puts a watermark on exports. Pro Plan costs $3.99 a month; Pro Pack 5 costs $23.99, paid once. A single purchase works across supported iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. Emulsio 5 requires iOS/iPadOS 18 or later on supported mobile hardware, or macOS 15 Sequoia on Mac.
