Cinetone

Edit the video. Shape the color.

Cinetone is an iPhone video editor and cinematic color studio. Arrange multiple clips, refine each shot, build a soundtrack, add captions, and export a finished video—or create a color-only LUT for another editing workflow.

EDIT ON A MULTI-CLIP TIMELINE
Trim, split, move, and reorder clips. Reframe, rotate, or flip footage. See waveforms, trim added audio clips, adjust their volume individually, and keep original sound separate from added music. Editing is nondestructive: Cinetone works with its own local copies, leaving source files untouched.

ADD CAPTIONS
Create and edit captions for individual source clips, set their text and timing, and control whether they appear. Captions stay attached to their original clip as you trim, split, or reorder the timeline. Add them manually or generate them from speech in a selected original clip when the device, language, and Apple speech model support it. Model downloads may be required; transcription runs on device. Review captions before export. Enabled captions are burned into the video, never included in a LUT.

MAKE THE COLOR YOURS
Start with 20 original cinematic looks, including Golden Hour, Soft Portrait, Teal Shadow, and Rich Mono, plus three open community looks. Compare your grade with neutral Rec.709 and adjust exposure, warmth, tint, contrast, saturation, intensity, and fade. Import your own .cube LUTs from Files after choosing the matching input profile; imported LUTs output SDR Rec.709.

HANDLE LOG AND HDR SOURCES
Import supported Rec.709, Apple Log, Apple Log 2, and color-tagged HLG or PQ footage. HLG and PQ are converted to SDR Rec.709 for preview and video export. Cinetone does not export HDR video.

EXPORT FOR YOUR NEXT STEP
Export an H.264 MP4 or HEVC MP4 when supported, with SDR Rec.709 color and supported mono or stereo audio. Choose up to 1080p or 4K and up to 30 fps or the source frame cadence. Smaller sources are never upscaled. Export a 33-point or 65-point .cube LUT to carry color into a compatible workflow. Save videos to Photos with add-only access, share them, or save them in Files.

SUGGESTIONS WITH YOU IN CONTROL
Explore 20 looks and get on-device scene suggestions with a deterministic fallback. Where available, optional Apple Private Cloud Compute requires explicit opt-in on iOS 27 or later. Only disclosed scene metrics and look-catalog text are sent;
