Projects

A project is one video plus everything you did to it. mobiCut saves projects automatically; the start screen lists them, newest first. (Before it, mobiCut briefly shows the welcome screen.)

Start screen with three recent projects, the Settings and New project buttons, and a project's ⋮ menu button.
  1. Settings: edition, Rate mobiCut, Share mobiCut, Privacy policy, Show tips again (tips) and the app version.
  2. New project.
  3. A project: thumbnail, length of the finished video, number of segments and texts, when it was last edited. Tap to open.
  4. ⋮ menu: rename or delete.

Start a new project

  1. Tap New project.
  2. Choose where the video is: - Gallery: videos on this phone. - Browse files: an SD card, a USB camera or drive, Downloads, Google Drive and other file providers. Use this for action cameras plugged in by USB. - Slideshow from pictures: up to 50 photos made into a video; see Slideshow.
  3. Pick the video. The editor opens with the whole video as one segment.

In the Free edition the source video can be up to 1 hour long. Longer videos need Pro.

You can also start from another app: in the gallery, Share a video and choose MobiCut.

Open a project

Tap it on the start screen. All your edits are as you left them. The playhead starts at the beginning of the video, or just after the fade-in if the video fades in at the start, so the preview doesn't open on a black frame. Press ← (or the phone's back gesture) to return to the list; nothing needs saving.

Rename a project

New projects are named after the video file. To rename:

  • on the start screen, tap ⋮ → Rename, or
  • in the editor, tap the project name at the top.

Type the new name and tap Rename.

Delete a project

Tap ⋮ → Delete and confirm. This removes only the project (your edits). The original video and anything you exported stay in your gallery.

The Delete project? confirmation.

Where things are kept

What Where
Your edits Inside the app, and in your Google backup. Kept over an uninstall if you tick Keep app data (see Uninstalling).
Original video Where it was. mobiCut only links to it: it never copies, downloads or uploads it.
Exported videos Movies/MobiCut (shows up in the gallery)

If the original video is moved or deleted, see Missing video.
