The latest improvements and features shipped in CocoCut.
Version 2.3.0
Split length: a new slider sets 1 to 10 seconds in whole steps, starting from the shortest video in the grid.
Sort filters: tap the sort button in the color panel, then tap filters in the order you want, and your favorites move to the front.
Custom length: the third length on the camera screen now uses a slider, and you can also set it in More > Recording. Both stay in sync.
Length hint: tap the ? next to Length to see which cell's video sets the limit.
Smoother taps: picking a cell in split screen or a clip on the timeline no longer makes the timeline or frame flicker.
Version 2.2.2
Sliders: Filter, sticker, poster and music sliders gently snap to the default with a tap of haptics, so slips are harmless.
Smart Pick: Choosing 15s, 30s or 1 min now fills the length instead of stopping halfway.
Adjust: Both Basic and Advanced show a yellow dot once edited, and a double-tap on a row resets it.
Membership: Open it from a locked feature and that row is pinned to the top and highlighted.
Thumbnails: Scrolling quickly through your clips no longer leaves thumbnails blank.
Music: During a call or while Siri is talking, background music stays muted instead of interrupting your edit.
Home: Fixed an occasional crash in the vlog list.
Version 2.2.1
Smart albums: In the media library, switch to Smart at the bottom to see every trip and every month sorted by time and place.
Smart pick: Open a smart album, tap Smart pick, choose 15s, 30s or 1 min, and the best photos and videos are picked for you. You can limit it to photos, Live Photos or videos.
Film filters: Three new Pro looks, Dusk, Mellow and Mint, for dusk orange and teal, warm portraits and fresh mint greens, each with film grain.
iCloud: You can now cancel a download from iCloud instead of waiting on a stuck screen.
New vlog: Creating a vlog from the home screen no longer leaves a black screen.
Batch length: In clip details, tap the scissors, switch to All, then pick 0.5s, 1s or Full to change every clip at once.
Photo colors: Photos from the Camera app no longer look washed out after import. Bright reds and oranges match what you see in Photos.
Live Photos: The motion in HDR Live Photos is converted to SDR on import, so thumbnails, split screen and exports no longer look grey.
Converting: Importing an HDR Live Photo now shows Converting HDR video, so it no longer looks stuck.
Launch screen: Turn off the animation in Settings > Preferences to fade straight into the camera.
Version 2.2.0
Daily reminder: Give any vlog a time and get a nudge to film your 1 second, every day or on the days you pick. Sunset follows the sunset and reminds you 15 minutes early. Free.
Fill-in create: Creating a vlog is one fill-in sentence for name, time and days. Presets like OOTD, Breakfast and Pet fill it in with one tap.
Auto zoom: Set the start and end zoom yourself. Long-press the zoom button on the capture screen.
Split screen: Every cell plays in sync while you edit. Select a cell to pick which part it plays.
Lock Screen: Camera Control asks you to unlock before filming, so your clips never show on the Lock Screen.
Version 2.1.3
Fast export: uses your phone's hardware encoder and finishes much sooner. If it fails it switches to Compatible on its own, and one tap switches it if it stalls.
Vlog home: every Vlog gets a poster in a two-column grid, sorted by recently shot or date created.
iPhone Duo: when unfolded, the camera and editor split along the fold, with the picture on one side and the controls on the other.
Night looks: Ink and Ember join the member filters, with deep blacks, kept lights and richer neon.
HDR videos: converted on import, so previews and finished films keep steady color instead of looking washed out.
Easier picking: swipe across the media library to select clips in a row, and the circles show the order you picked.
Crash fix: fixed some iPhones closing right after launch.
Version 2.1.1
Mute per clip: open a clip and tap the speaker switch in the length row to mute just that clip; muted clips show a badge in the tray.
Subtitle track: tap + in an empty spot to add a line; tap a subtitle and the length row turns into Edit, Fill and Delete.
Original audio: the original-audio slider in the Sound panel sets it for the whole vlog, even without music.
Wide clips: clip details now frame video the same way as the editor stage, so landscape footage is no longer cropped.
Done screen: after exporting, one tap takes you back home; the subtitle file moved to the top right.
Version 2.0.3
No green flash: 4K exports on iPhone no longer flash a green frame.
Truer progress: the export bar now follows the real progress.
Little touches: Coco now animates on the export and VIP pages.
Version 2.0.2
Faster 4K: 4K exports finish faster and use far less memory.
Long exports: exporting dozens of clips in 4K no longer crashes partway through.
Quick frames: clip timeline frames in the editor now appear faster.
Replay: tapping replay after an export now starts from the beginning without a stutter.
Exposure lock: on Android, long-pressing the viewfinder now meters the spot you hold before locking, instead of keeping the previous exposure.
Clip frames: opening an old vlog right after launch no longer leaves blank frames on the clip timeline.
Landscape tip: holding the phone sideways no longer quietly uses up the double-tap custom length tip; it shows once you turn upright.
Lock badge: on lenses without exposure control, the lock badge now turns with the phone after a long-press.
Version 2.0.1
Stable editor: with lots of clips, opening the clip grid, scrolling and reordering no longer crash; tapping outside the grid closes it first.
Less storage: recording and exporting no longer leave an extra copy on your phone, and stale cache is cleared automatically.
Landscape: when you shoot sideways, the countdown, recording timer, settings panels, exposure slider and library thumbnail turn upright, and dragging exposure follows the phone's own up and down.
Focus lock: long-press the viewfinder to lock focus and exposure, tap to release; held sideways, focus now lands where you tap.
Copy stickers: select a text sticker and tap Duplicate to get one with the same size, font, color and angle.
Wide-video bar: in landscape vlogs the editor's side tools no longer get clipped, and the text button stays put when its menu opens.
Cover progress: setting a split-screen cover now shows a full-screen progress card instead of a spinner on the Save button.
Version 2.0.0
Split screen: tap Split on the editor's side rail, or pick 2–9 clips in your library, and play them side by side in one frame. Choose 2, 3, 4, 6 or 9 panels and a length of 1–3 seconds.
Split tools: preview the result full screen before it goes on the timeline; tap a selected split clip to change its layout, length or framing; with more clips than panels, pick them in order or spread across the day; each panel can show when it was shot.
Local effects: text, date and place stickers and filters can apply to just the clips you pick. Tap a clip to preview it, tap again to toggle.
Cover grid: Moments Grid is now Split-Screen Cover and each vlog remembers your layout; long-press a cell and drop it on another to swap them, in split clips too.
Export page: the cover fills the screen, with cover, quality and watermark in three clear rows; on export the cover flies into the render card.
New shutter: it springs back when pressed and turns into a red stop key with progress around the ring while recording; the library, shutter and flip buttons now line up.
Selfie tools: the front camera gets a fill-light button that turns the screen to full brightness with a soft glow around the edge, so selfies in dim rooms still get light; in settings you can have the camera open with the front lens.
Stay awake: the screen no longer dims while framing a shot or exporting, so you can leave the phone on a stand.
New icons: a fresh, more consistent icon set throughout the app.
Fixes: clips from your photo library that are already in CocoCut can be picked directly; clips without an audio track no longer make the export fail.
Version 1.9.0
Camera button: fixed a crash about ten seconds after opening CocoCut from Camera Control, Control Center or the Action button; in the viewfinder, the camera and volume buttons now start recording too.
Grid reorder: pull up the clip tray's handle to lay every clip out in a numbered grid, then press and drag a clip to any spot.
Clip tray: your clips now sit in one tidy frame with + pinned on the left, so adding never means scrolling to the end.
Export moved: the Export button now lives at the top right, leaving room to see more clips at once.
Grid crop: crop each Moments grid cell on its own, and pinch to zoom into the whole poster.
Smoother play: dragging and tapping in the editor while a clip plays now feels much more fluid.
Version 1.8.0
Camera Control: launch CocoCut straight from the iPhone 16/17 camera button, even from the Lock Screen, plus one-tap recording from the Action button, Control Center and Siri.
Moments grid: new grid posters and covers with each clip's time stamped on, turning your day into a visual diary.
Footprints: a new monthly calendar fills each day you shot with that day's frame, with total and streak counts at a glance.
Film history: every life movie you export is remembered, ready to rewatch, share, or save again.
Films album: the library gains a Films shelf, one big memory card per film.
In-app guide: the User Guide, privacy policy and terms now open right inside the app, one tap to get back.
Update notes: what's new after an update now opens full screen.
Version 1.7.0
Guided tips: the first time a feature matters, it lights up and tells you where to tap.
New opening: the intro is one page now. Pick what you want to record, and see all three permissions together.
Album switch: the first time you open the library, it points out that the title at the top switches albums.
Sound toggle: the studio's default mute can be turned off, so it opens with sound.
Share link: the More page can now share CocoCut with a friend.
Crash fixes: trimming to the very edge of the timeline and switching camera lenses no longer crash.
Visual fixes: the opening screen's back button and permission card no longer clip at the edges.
Version 1.6.0
Caption timing: every caption gets its own in and out point, so you can drag to retime or tap to jump to that frame.
Translation: captions are listed line by line, so you can translate one and replace it in place.
Clip timeline: now a fixed-width fill, so short and long clips both span the screen without pinch-zooming.
Text tools: the studio rail folds into one button that unrolls text, date, place and Mojika.
Mojika symbols: pick one from the built-in library and it lands on the frame right away, with no extra confirm step.
Fusion Pixel: a new 12px pixel font covering Simplified, Traditional, Japanese and Korean.
Version 1.5.2
Thermals: optimized viewfinder idle and studio scheduling to reduce battery drain and heat.
Recording: timer and label no longer snap back to 0.0s during recording, saving and fade-out.
Clip preview: fixed an issue where tapping tray clips failed to refresh preview or misaligned crop geometry.
Thumbnails: tray thumbnails no longer occasionally render square past their rounded frame.
New frames: after editing a clip, its tray thumbnail swaps to the new frame without flickering.
Viewfinder: fixed an occasional viewfinder failure while the camera was switching.
Update badge: the camera settings button shows a red dot when a new version is out; it clears once you read the release notes.
Version 1.5.1
Subtitles: tap the caption pill under a clip to open the full-screen editor instead of typing above the keyboard.
Fonts & music: import, audition and preview your own freely; membership is only checked when you export.
Reordering: clips show their number while you drag, and the selection no longer jumps back after you drop.
Music: previewing a track no longer pauses the video.
Preview: edits wait for the new frame before fading in, so nothing flickers.
Deleting: removing the current clip selects its neighbor instead of leaving an empty stage.
Version 1.5.0
Clip library: every clip you shot lives here; tap + in the studio to open it, or swipe the pill left on the capture page to add clips to the current vlog.
Capture bar: flash, timer, Live Photo and auto push-in are one row of icons now — tap one to switch it, and a short note says what changed.
Live Photos: takes of any length can be saved as Live Photos; the first time you turn it on, we explain how they land in Photos.
Save to Photos: auto-saving every take to Photos can now be turned off to keep clips inside CocoCut only; we explain what that means before you turn it off.
Date sticker: in bursts, skip repeats by new day or by a 5 or 30 minute gap; both can be on at once, and the first clip always gets the date.
Storage: the More page shows usage; export to Photos, delete for good, or favorite, and you're told how many vlogs still use a clip before deleting.
What's new: the first launch after an update shows what changed, even offline.
Version 1.4.0
Home widget: see today's clip count at a glance, tap to jump back to the viewfinder.
New filters: Neg, Chrome and Classic, one tap each.
Watermark off: free accounts can turn it off too; it comes back after 14 days.
Import music: members can bring in their own tracks, tagged and removable.
Version 1.3.0
Dual camera: shoot with the front and back cameras at once. Drag the picture-in-picture to any corner, or swap which camera leads.
Background music: pick from the built-in library, preview a track before you commit, and it mixes into your export automatically.
Live Photos now import as the video inside them, with per-clip progress and iCloud download status.
The sticker style panel floats above the preview, so it never shrinks or covers what you're editing.
The finished-video preview gained a scrub bar.
Version 1.2.0
The export screen is rebuilt: it holds your first frame while rendering, then plays the finished video right there.
Exports save to Photos automatically — no second tap on Save.
You can stop an export midway instead of waiting it out.
The album picker groups clips by capture date, so Today and Yesterday stand apart.
Date stickers gain "Date on new day": later clips from the same day stop repeating the date.
The hint at the bottom of the editor stays put and cycles through tips.
Version 1.1.0
Timelines and previews open faster — clip info is cached, and loading shows progress.
Export remembers the quality and subtitle burn-in you chose last time.
The 4K export self-check is sharper, so good frames no longer get flagged.
The launch screen follows your system light or dark setting.
