ClipFlow handles the small video jobs that do not need a timeline. Trim, join, compress, reverse, filter, caption, mute, blur, or convert a clip, then continue with the result. Version 1.9 adds partial reverse and 13 filter styles. Most processing runs on device.

Hi Product Hunt — I’m the solo developer behind ClipFlow. I built ClipFlow because most of the video work I do on my phone is not really “editing.” Usually I just need to trim a clip, make it smaller, remove the audio, add captions, or turn it into a GIF. Opening a full timeline for one or two steps always felt heavier than the job itself. ClipFlow is organized around those small jobs. You choose an operation, export it, and can immediately use the result for the next operation. It currently has 26 tools covering video, audio, subtitles, overlays, conversion, and export. Version 2.0 adds video reverse and filter/color controls. Reverse can be applied to the whole clip or only a selected range, with separate audio options. Filters include 13 styles plus controls for brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and intensity. Most video and audio processing happens on the device. AI voice generation is the exception and sends the entered text to the service used to generate the voice. ClipFlow is not trying to replace CapCut or Final Cut. If you need a timeline, keyframes, or a large multi-track project, those tools are a better fit. ClipFlow is for the smaller jobs you want to finish quickly on an iPhone or iPad. I’d especially like to know: what two-step video workflow do you repeat most often?

my most repeated two-step is crop/reformat then caption - I record a quick screen demo at whatever aspect ratio the app gives me, then need it as a vertical clip with captions burned in before I can actually share it anywhere. the "no timeline" pitch really clicks for that specific case, since a full editor feels absurd for something that's really just two operations. is aspect-ratio conversion (16:9 to 9:16, with smart crop rather than just adding bars) one of the 26 tools already, or still on the list?

The no-timeline framing is spot on — as an indie iOS dev I mostly just need to trim + caption a quick clip, and opening a full editor for that is overkill. Love that most of it runs on device. Are the captions auto-generated, and does the on-device export keep the original resolution?

Love the "no timeline" framing — most video tools assume you want a full editor when really you just need one clip trimmed or one shot dropped in. Curious how you're handling model/rendering under the hood for quick jobs like this — are you generating anything AI-side, or purely editing existing footage? Ask because balancing speed vs. quality is the constant tension on the generation side of video tools too.

One thing I'd love to see is a way to save a custom sequence of edits as a preset. I often do the same trim, mute, and caption steps for short clips, and being able to chain them and reuse the flow with one tap would be a huge time saver.

Tried it on a phone for trimming and adding a quick filter, and it handled the clip without uploading anything. The on-device processing makes it feel way faster than the editors I usually use for this kind of small job.

A keyboard shortcut for trimming would be amazing, like hitting a hotkey to set in and out points without scrubbing with the mouse. Also would love to see a simple batch queue so I can line up a few clips and walk away while it processes them one after another.

The pipeline that lets you keep editing the output of your last action without re-importing is a really thoughtful touch, the kind of small detail that makes quick clip work feel fluid instead of fiddly.
