Somewhere between quick template apps and desktop software sits Videoleap, from Lightricks. It's layer-based, so you can stack video, images, text and effects and reorder them freely, and it's aimed at people making Reels, TikToks and Shorts who want both ready-made templates and hands-on control. Editing tools include keyframe animation, green screen compositing, masking and blending modes, motion tracking, speed changes, non-destructive editing with unlimited undo, and a zoomable timeline for frame-level cuts. Effects run from glitches and prism to defocus and chromatic aberration, with a set of cinematic transitions and more than a hundred sound effects. The AI side applies style presets to clips, remakes templates with your own footage and removes unwanted objects from video. A community feed lets you remake trending edits in a tap and share your own templates. Pricing isn't covered in the listing, so check in-app for what the free tier includes.
Layers are what put Videoleap a step above the template apps. Lightricks built it so video, images, text and effects stack and reorder freely, and aimed it at the Reels, TikTok and Shorts crowd, who want templates when they're in a hurry and hands-on control when they're not.
The toolset includes keyframes, green screen, masking and blend modes, motion tracking, speed changes and a zoomable timeline, with effects from glitch and prism to chromatic aberration and over a hundred sound effects. AI applies style presets, remakes templates with your footage and removes objects. A community feed supplies remixable edits. Pricing isn't covered.
Two modes of use coexist. In a hurry, you open the feed, find a trending edit, tap to remake it with your own clips and post. With time, you build from scratch: a base clip, a green-screened overlay, text that tracks a moving subject, a glitch transition and a sound effect on the cut.
Unlimited undo and non-destructive edits mean experiments are safe, and the zoomable timeline gets you to the exact frame. Sharing your own template back to the feed closes the loop.
The Lightricks name, known from its photo apps, and the promise of desktop-style layering on a phone. Short-form creators who've outgrown one-tap template apps but don't want to learn desktop software land here. The remixable template feed pulls in people chasing trends, and the AI object removal is the feature that gets demonstrated in tutorials.
A layered editor with an effects library and a social feed has a lot to show, and the five screenshots on the page probably split between the timeline and the community. Expect a dark workspace with layers stacked above a timeline, plus a browsable feed that looks more like a social app. The 12+ rating relates to that community content.
Version 2.88 suggests a second major version with a very long run of increments, and a 4.6 rating from more than 100,000 reviews is healthy. Lightricks Ltd. is a substantial developer with several apps. Apple's store is the only link on this page. An active community feed implies ongoing attention, though the listing can't demonstrate how current the app is.
Remixing trending edits
Templates from the feed take your footage in a tap.
Green screen and tracking
Compositing, masking and motion tracking on a phone.
Removing objects from video
The AI tools erase unwanted elements from clips.
Rated 12+ and free to install, with no pricing information in the listing at all, so assume a subscription gates some tools and effects and check before starting a big project. The community feed implies an account. Ads aren't mentioned. Layered video editing is heavy on storage and battery, and the AI features will need a connection. No region restriction is stated. App Store only.
Our take
A strong pick for short-form creators who want more than templates and less than desktop software, especially if the remix feed matches the content they make. Find out the paid tier's price early. People who only need trims and captions, or who want a guaranteed free editor, have simpler options in this batch.
