You recorded it in 2 minutes. Why does fixing it take an hour?

Cut the mistakes. Remove every silence. Clean up the sound. Shrink the file. Most people do these one at a time, in four different apps. FlowCast does them all in one tap, on your phone, and gives you one finished video.

This page is also the tutorial. Read it once and you'll know the whole app. Start the story ↓

FlowCast editor with Remove silences and Compress ticked

One cut, five silences, ready to export

1Record

It starts with a recording you can't afford to lose.

You want to show someone how to do something on your phone: a client, your team, your followers. So you hit record and talk them through it. Five good minutes, first take.

Here's the catch nobody warns you about: the iPhone's own recorder only saves your video at the very last moment. If that final step hiccups, five minutes of work vanish without a word. And unless you remember to tap a tiny microphone icon first, it records no voice at all.
FlowCast was built around that fear. Every recording goes into its own Library the instant you stop, so nothing hangs on a last-second save. The Record screen reminds you about the microphone each time, and it captures your voice and the phone's own sound together.

Try it now

  1. Open FlowCast and tap Start Screencast.
  2. In Apple's pop-up, tap the microphone so it turns red, then tap Start Broadcast.
  3. Do your thing. Stop from the red pill at the top of the screen. Your video is already in the Library.

Want your face in it too? Switch to Vlog (dual cam). It films with the front and back cameras at once, and you can drag, pinch, round off and frame your face bubble live while you record.

2Library

Twenty recordings later, which one was it?

Every recording lands in the Library with its length and size. Videos you already have count too: tap + to bring one in from Photos or Files, or choose Open in FlowCast from any app.

A list of "Screencast, 20 Oct, 2:00 PM" tells you nothing. Renaming each one means pecking at a phone keyboard, so most people simply never do.
So let FlowCast do the typing. Press and hold a video and tap Name it from my first sentence: it listens to how you opened the video and names it in your own words, right on the phone. Prefer your own title? Rename is one tap away.

Everything is one long-press away

  1. Rename or Name it from my first sentence
  2. Show in Files and Share to any app
  3. Compress and Trim silences (both explained below)
  4. Delete. It always asks first, so a stray swipe can't lose a video.

3Cut

Every first take has a bit you'd rather nobody saw.

Open any video and tap Edit. The big bar is your whole video. Green is what stays. The white lines are your voice, so you can see where you talked and where you didn't.

The trouble is, most phone editors are made for people who edit for a living: tracks, layers, handles too small for a thumb. You only wanted one bad bit gone.
That's why FlowCast shows you just the step you're on. Mark where the slip starts, mark where it ends, and it turns red. That really is the whole skill.

Three steps

  1. Drag along the bar to where the mistake starts. Tap Start here.
  2. Drag to where it ends. Tap Cut this part. It turns red.
  3. Got it slightly wrong? Tap the red part and drag its white handles. The video jumps to the exact frame as you drag.
  4. Changed your mind? Each cut has its own row in the list, with Edit and a bin. Start over clears them all.

4Remove silences

Dead air is why people stop watching.

Nobody records without pausing. You stop to think, you scroll, you wait for a page to load. In a 5-minute video that easily adds up to a minute of nothing. Viewers feel it, and they swipe away.

Snipping every pause by hand takes longer than the recording did. People buy desktop tools like TimeBolt for this one chore alone.
In FlowCast it's a tick box. Check Remove silences and every pause lights up red on the bar instantly, before you've exported a thing. You see exactly what will go, and the final length shrinks in front of you.

It's careful about it. Short pauses between words stay, so you still sound natural. It leaves a little air at each edge, so no word gets clipped. And if the phone was playing sound while you were quiet, that part stays too.

See it for yourself

  1. In the editor, tick Remove silences.
  2. Watch the striped red parts appear. That's the silence.
  3. Check Final length: it already shows the new, shorter time.

5Reduce noise

A hum makes even good advice sound cheap.

People will forgive a shaky picture long before they forgive bad sound. A constant hiss under your voice tells them it's an amateur video, before you've said anything useful.

Fixing that usually means uploading your video to some website, or learning a whole audio app.
FlowCast keeps it on your phone. Open the video, tap the waveform button at the top left and choose Reduce Noise. It cleans your voice only and leaves the phone's own sound alone, so music and app sounds come through untouched. Nothing is uploaded.

How to clean it

  1. Tap a video in the Library to play it.
  2. Tap the waveform button, top left.
  3. Choose Reduce Noise. A cleaned copy appears next to your original.

6Compress

A great video nobody can open is no video at all.

Phones record at a very high quality, far more than a chat app or a phone screen needs. One minute can easily be 20 to 30 MB. That's too big for an email, slow in WhatsApp, and painful on a client's mobile data.

Compression apps don't make it easy, either. They bury you in codecs, bitrates and presets, and one wrong pick leaves your video looking like it was filmed through frosted glass.
FlowCast's Compress has no settings at all. It keeps your picture exactly the same size and saves it in the format every phone, laptop and chat app plays. If it can't make the file smaller without spoiling it, it won't hand you a worse copy; it simply tells you.

7All in one tap

Four jobs. One tap. One finished video.

This is how most people edit: cut the mistakes, export. Open that file, remove the silences, export again. Open that one, compress it, export a third time. Then go back and delete the in-between copies. It's tedious, and it's easy to send the wrong one.

Each extra export is more waiting, more storage gone, and one more chance to send the wrong file.
FlowCast folds it all into a single tap. Make your cuts, tick Remove silences and Compress, and tap Export. One progress bar shows how long is left, and what comes out is just the finished video. Your original stays untouched, and the app remembers your ticks for next time.

Real stories don't happen in one take.

An intro, the walkthrough, a quick thank-you at the end. Or a clip from Photos you want to stick on the front. They're separate videos, but your viewer should get one.

Stitching clips together on a phone normally means a full editing app, and a tall video beside a wide one gets cropped or squashed.
Here, it's a button. Tap Combine at the top left of the Library, add clips from your Library or Photos, drag them into order, and you're done. Clips of different shapes get neat black bars instead of being cropped. Then polish the result like any other video: cuts, silences, noise and compression all work on it.

Put it together

  1. In the Library, tap the stack icon at the top left.
  2. From Library or From Photos, pick your clips.
  3. Drag the ≡ handles into order and tap Combine.

Videos that came from Photos go back into Photos when they're done, right next to your original.

No. It only removes pauses of half a second or longer, and leaves a little air at each edge. You also see every silence in red before you export, so nothing comes as a surprise.

Does it change my original video?

Never. Every edit, cleanup and compression is saved as a new copy next to the original.
