CatCut - Video Editor & Maker

Tired of clunky video editors that drain your time and creativity?

Most mobile editing tools either oversimplify or overwhelm. You end up with either no control or a steep learning curve. CatCut - Video Editor & Maker strikes the precise balance: a professional-grade timeline with an intuitive, single-hand workflow. Whether you are cutting a vlog, crafting a TikTok trend, or assembling a montage for friends, this app puts every essential tool—trim, split, speed ramp, and multi-layer audio—within thumb’s reach. No ads interrupting your flow, no hidden paywalls for basic exports.

Core editing tools that actually work

The editor is built around a non-linear timeline that supports up to 1080p resolution at 60 fps. You can pinch-zoom to frame-level precision, ripple delete unwanted sections, and apply transitions (crossfade, wipe, zoom) with a single tap. The audio mixer lets you adjust volume envelopes, fade in/out, and synchronise beats visually. For text overlays, choose from 20+ animated title presets or customise font, colour, kerning, and shadow manually.

• Trim, split, and merge clips instantly
• Speed control 0.25x to 4x
• Multi-track audio with waveform sync

Advanced effects without the complexity

CatCut includes a real-time preview engine for filters, colour grading LUTs, and keyframe-based animations. Apply a vintage film look, a cyberpunk neon grade, or a soft glow effect—each adjustable by intensity. The chroma key tool lets you remove green screen backgrounds in one tap, with edge feathering and spill suppression. For motion graphics, the keyframe editor supports position, scale, rotation, and opacity curves.

• Chroma key with edge refinement
• Keyframe animation for any layer
• 40+ cinematic LUTs and filters

Export and share at full quality

Export settings are fully customisable: resolution (480p to 4K), frame rate (24/30/60), bitrate (up to 50 Mbps), and format (MP4 H.264, H.265, or MOV). Direct sharing to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp is built in, with automatic aspect-ratio cropping (9:16, 1:1, 16:9). The app also offers a batch export mode for processing multiple projects overnight.

• 4K export with H.265 encoding
• Direct share to all major platforms
• Batch export for multiple projects
