04 / Your media stays yours
Made on your device.
Your photos, video, and audio are processed locally. SteadyFlow does not upload your media for cloud editing, and you don’t need an account. Coming in 6.0, the one exception is cartoons, which Apple Intelligence creates.
Read the privacy details ↗- Local analysis and rendering
- Apple’s media and vision frameworks analyze photos and render the video on your device.
- Apple Intelligence, when available
- On supported devices with Apple Intelligence enabled, a Foundation Models style suggestion complements the built-in styles.
- Cartoons (coming in 6.0)
- Apple Intelligence makes cartoons from the photos you choose, on your device or with Apple’s Private Cloud Compute. Your photos are never sent to our servers.
- A few online connections
- Music browsing, purchases, and the anonymous free-export counter use online services. Location captions can use Apple’s geocoding service. Your media is not sent to our servers.
What does SteadyFlow make?
Photo videos and cinematic slideshows with music, motion, transitions, and designed styles. Import your photos, arrange them, choose a look and soundtrack, then export a video.
Can I adjust just one photo?
Open Edit Look and choose This photo. Adjust its color, camera effects, lighting, or texture independently. Use shared restores the common settings for that section or the whole photo.
What is the difference between look and framing?
Color & Effects changes how a photo looks. Crop & Fit chooses how photos fit the video canvas. In Fill, you can move the selected photo’s focus point to keep the right subject in view.
Does a video preview use a free export?
No. The 5.2 draft preview checks the complete sequence at a smaller resolution without consuming a free final export. Your final resolution and quality settings are preserved.
How will cartoons work?
Cartoons are coming in version 6.0. Open Edit Look, choose Cartoon, then pick a style: 3D Animation, Illustration or Sketch. Apple’s Image Playground opens with your photo, and the cartoon you accept replaces the photo or is added after it. You can restore the original at any time. Cartoons need a device with Apple Intelligence turned on. If every photo fails, turn off any VPN and try again.
Which devices can I use?
iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 16 or later, and Mac with macOS 14 or later. The Mac 5.2 release supports Apple silicon. Apple Intelligence features need a supported device, a compatible system version, and Apple Intelligence enabled.
Is there a subscription?
No. Download the app and try five free final exports. A one-time Premium purchase unlocks unlimited exports. From version 6.0, Edit Look (color, captions and labels, title cards and cartoons) is free to try in the preview, and the one-time purchase also unlocks exporting with every Edit Look feature. See the App Store and the app for current local pricing.
