About Keyframe Video
Keyframe Video is an iOS app that turns long-form videos into short clips. You upload a video you own or have permission to use, and the app generates several clips, detects moments it expects to engage viewers, adds automatic captions with smart framing, and exports them in vertical format for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
The listing targets content creators, podcasters, people building a personal brand and agencies managing content. Recent release notes mention AI clip previews, a built-in video editor, caption styling, image and text overlays and export progress indicators. The developer says the app offers no third-party video catalogs or downloading, so only your own uploads are processed.
The app is listed on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. It starts with a free trial and new users receive free credits; free exports carry a Keyframe watermark, while a Pro subscription removes the watermark and raises the monthly minutes. A subscription is needed to keep creating and exporting clips after the trial.
