A simple Apple editor vs a cross-platform AI studio

iMovie is the friendly free editor that comes with every Mac and iPhone β€” perfect for trimming home videos and adding titles. But it’s Apple-only and stops well short of AI. Kedy.AI is free too, runs anywhere in the browser, and adds the automation iMovie doesn’t.

Kedy.AI generates ranked vertical shorts from long videos, auto-subtitles, and dubs into 23+ languages with instant voice cloning, plus AI images β€” on Windows, Chromebook, Linux or Mac.

Bottom line

Use iMovie for simple free edits on Apple devices. Use Kedy.AI for AI shorts, subtitles and dubbing on any device.
