VN is the strongest free option for people who care about precise editing more than trend effects. Its App Store listing describes a free editor with no watermark, a multi-track timeline, trimming accurate to 0.05 seconds with up to 30x zoom, masks, keyframes with 19 built-in effects and curve-based speed ramps. Auto captions can also find and remove filler words and silent gaps, which tightens talking-head edits quickly, and a built-in teleprompter helps when you record scripted clips. Filters, LUT import and Dolby Vision HDR editing on iPhone 12 and later give it more color control than most free apps, and exports reach 4K at 60fps. VN Pro is sold as in-app purchases listed at $7.99 and $69.99 on the US App Store, while AI tools draw on separately sold credits. The listing does not name the Pro billing term, so confirm it in the app before buying.
