Last Updated on December 16, 2021 by Anu Joy

Snap has unveiled Story Studio, a new app for iPhone users. The standalone video editing app claims that it will give creators access to more tools which will help make their vertical videos more engaging.

Story Studio was first announced in May this year, and is now available as an Early access release. The app hasn’t rolled out for everyone yet; it is currently available only for iOS users in the US, UK, and Canada. Snap hasn’t divulged any details about a possible Android version.

The newly released app is supposed to be used as an advanced video editing tool. It will gather data from Snapchat and its new Spotlight feature to help you with your video content. The app will also let you check out what’s trending through Snapchat insights. Story Studio will come with Snapchat Sounds, stickers, as well as Lenses. Video creators will also have access to frame-precise trimming, splitting, and timing tools for more control over their edits.

Moreover, you can easily add layers, captions, and Snapchat Sounds. Once you’re done editing your video, the app lets you share directly to Snapchat via a built-in button. You can also download the video and share it to other apps.  

On Tuesday, Snap announced that it had shelled out a whopping $250 million (approximately ₹1,900 crore) to more than 12,000 Spotlight creators globally over the past year. For those in the dark, Spotlight was Snap’s response to TikTok and Instagram’s Reels. This feature was launched in India in March this year.
