DJI LightCut Update Brings iOS 18 Beta Support

DJI has updated its LightCut video editing app for Apple users, including support for the recently released iOS 18 beta and fixing an issue with importing footage.

LightCut is an AI-powered video editing app that offers super-fast shooting and editing features for DJI drone and handheld footage, including the Air 3. and the Osmo Mobile 6 – available at incredibly affordable prices.

DJI LightCut aims to make video editing easy for beginners and allows professional users to prepare content for sharing on social media in the blink of an eye. One of the biggest attractions of LightCut is the seamless connection between devices and the app, which allows for quick and easy preview of footage in real time. There is no need to export any footage, which saves storage space on your smartphone. Simply select the footage you want and the app's one-tap editing function will convert it into a cinematic, shareable short video, even in 4K UHD.

LightCut is designed to recognize many of the common scenarios in which DJI devices are used. The app's AI algorithms can intelligently analyze footage and identify themes such as aerial, outdoor, cycling, diving, skiing, travel, party, food, and daily life to suggest suitable horizontal or vertical video templates. The app also suggests music, filters, effects, and even stickers, helping you create super fun videos with just a few taps.

You can also create creative videos by cutting and combining clips and adding text, music, stickers, effects and transitions. Try the “Tilt-Shift” effects to give your footage a unique, miniature look, or check out “City Streets” and other urban settings for truly stunning results.

For DJI drone users, the video editing app includes special templates compatible with MasterShots, so you can create stunning aerial videos that amaze and impress. Likewise, DJI action camera users will find ready-to-use templates for different types of sports like cycling and skiing, as well as an “Aqua” filter that helps beautify underwater shots.

For Osmo Mobile users, LightCut serves as an inspiration library. The app’s Inspire Cam feature provides step-by-step shooting guides for a variety of scenarios that you can follow to create your own masterpieces. After shooting, you can use the one-tap editing feature to generate a 4K HD video to share on social media.
