What Video Star is
Video Star is an iOS video-editing app for creating fan edits and lip-sync music videos from photos and video clips. Its listing describes thousands of effects for coloring, animating, enhancing, warping, combining, and retiming footage. Multi-Layer editing supports effects and power packs across layers. Users can share or import effect setups with QR codes and the device camera roll. Videos can be saved to the device or shared through YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The app is compatible with iPhone and iPad, and the US App Store listing requires iOS 17.2 or later; there is no desktop or web app. Video Star has a free plan with in-app purchases. Month Pro costs $5.99 a month, while Year Pro costs $34.99 a year; both auto-renew through the App Store and provide unlimited current and future Power Packs. Video Star School offers lessons, and projects can be backed up to Files, iCloud, or a computer.
