What Splice does
Splice is a mobile video editor from Bending Spoons, and it has been on the App Store since 2010. It focuses on clean, polished edits: trimming, speed ramps, overlays, chroma key and a large library of royalty-free music. The basics are free and the full app is a subscription.
Splice has been around since 2010, and the app feels polished. The timeline is easy to read, and you can add overlays, green screen, speed ramps and color tweaks without hunting through menus.
Its standout is music. A royalty-free soundtrack library is built in, so you can score a travel video or product clip without hunting for tracks elsewhere. You can also set how long each photo or clip stays on screen for simple slideshows.
The basic version is free, and the advanced tools sit behind weekly, monthly or yearly plans. If you want a fully free editor, VN or Edits go further. If you like a tidy app and good music, Splice is worth a try.
