Shots vs
InShot & VN
InShot and VN are quick, friendly phone editors for trimming, adding music and posting. Shots does the picking for you: it watches every clip, finds the moments and puts the edit together.
Fast edits on a phone. Trim, add music and text, pick a shape and post.
Finding the good bits. Shots watches your clips, makes the cut and lets you change anything by asking.
The short version.
Phone editors wait for you to choose each clip. Shots chooses first and you change its mind.
Search a whole trip for “the jump into the lake” instead of scrolling the camera roll.
Need a wide shot you didn't film? Generate it to match, labelled as generated.

Questions.
Should I switch from InShot or VN?
If you have a handful of clips and know what you want, they're quick. If you have a camera roll full of footage and no time, Shots does the picking.
Does Shots work on my phone?
Yes. Shots works in the browser on your phone and on a computer, with the same projects on both.
Is Shots free?
Yes. The editor is free with no watermark. Pro is $29 a month with 2,500 credits for generating, and Team is $99 a month for up to five people.
