What Node Video does

Node Video is a video editor for iPhone, iPad and Android from Shallway Studio, a small independent developer. It is made for motion and effects edits, with 3D camera tracking, chroma key and optical flow frame interpolation for smooth slow motion and motion blur. It is ad-free, and the developer says 90% of features are free.

Most features free for life

Node Video is built for motion and effects edits rather than quick trims. It brings tools you would usually find in desktop effects software to your phone, like 3D camera tracking and chroma key masking, so text and effects can stick to moving things in your shot.

A recent update added Optical Flow X, which creates in-between frames for smooth slow motion and natural motion blur.

It is made by a small independent studio, it is ad-free, and the developer says about 90% of features are free for life, with a premium purchase for the rest. The learning curve is steeper than simple editors, so it suits people who enjoy tinkering.
