Shy Video: Make Videos Small

A video you are sending to someone you like. A video going up on social media. You are in it, and filling their whole screen is, honestly, a little embarrassing. You want it to play small. That is all. But making a small video is usually hard work: learn an editing app, dig through export settings, and then social media stretches it back up anyway. Shy Video does it right away. Pick a video, pinch it smaller, save. Once you know it, under a minute. Your video is placed small inside a canvas and turned into one new video. What social media stretches is the canvas, not your video, so your footage plays small and stays sharp. A video app for people who would rather not be the center of the screen. WHEN THIS HELPS - A video for someone you like, at a modest size - A video on social media where you would rather not loom large - A video for a friend, framed with space rather than edge to edge - Footage you recorded too much of, where you need only part - A file small enough to attach to an email - A video of your kids or pets, inside calm margins THREE STEPS 1. Pick a video, or record one on the spot 2. Set its position and size on the canvas, then tap Next 3. Adjust it as you like, and save To check fine details, pinch with two fingers or zoom up to 3x with the buttons at the lower right. PLACEMENT Your video lands on the canvas at 50% size, centered, and plays right there, so you can judge the result as you work. - Drag to position it. It never leaves the canvas - Pinch to resize, from 10% to 100% - Canvas ratios 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and 3:4 - Background: black, white, gray, pink, light blue, or any color you pick - Mirror horizontally or vertically, and rotate in 15 degree steps - Recenter resets position, size and rotation at once FOUR TOOLS BEFORE YOU EXPORT TRIM Drag the handles at each end of a filmstrip to keep only the part you want. Nothing is rejected for being too long. The selected range loops as you drag, so you see where it starts and ends. WATERMARK Add your name or social handle to discourage reposting. Adjust size and opacity, and drag it anywhere, or tile it across the canvas. A mark in a corner can be cropped away; a tiled one cannot. ADJUST Set brightness, contrast and warmth while the video plays. Volume is on the same panel; set it to zero for a silent video. COMPRESS No bitrates to decode. Choose where the video is going: email, social apps, or keep the quality. The estimated file size appears the moment you choose, so you never find out it was too big after sending. SAVING AND SHARING Save writes the finished video wherever you like, including this device and iCloud Drive. Share hands it over through the iOS share sheet: AirDrop, Mail, Messages and more. Exporting takes a little time; the progress is shown on screen. YOUR ORIGINAL IS NEVER TOUCHED, AND NOTHING IS UPLOADED No tool modifies your original video. Every export writes a new file, so if you do not like the result, the original is still where it was. Your video never leaves this device. Everything happens locally, with no upload and no conversion server. No account, no sign in, and it works in airplane mode. JAPANESE AND ENGLISH, IPHONE AND IPAD, DARK MODE The app follows your device language, Japanese or English, and runs on iPhone and iPad. On iPad the controls sit toward the center, within reach. Dark mode is supported. ABOUT THE ONE TIME PURCHASE Placement, trim, watermark, adjust, compress and saving are all free. A single payment unlocks four more things.
