In the details

What the screenshots leave out.

Route
Mix flights, trains, cars, buses, boats, walks and bike rides in one trip. Add waypoints when a place shapes the route but does not need its own scene. Car, bus, walking and cycling legs follow roads and paths. Trains follow rail lines; boats use shipping lanes.
Story
Write opening and closing titles, captions and credits. Add dates, distances, places and flags from the trip, then choose how labels and dates appear.
Series
Preview the whole trip or a single clip. Turn one itinerary into a connected series, with earlier legs already drawn when the next video begins.
Theme editor
The trip stays on screen while you change the globe, atmosphere, routes, type and title cards. Give cards different layouts for vertical, square and widescreen exports.
Export
Make 9:16, widescreen, square and 4:5 videos at 30 or 60 fps, up to 4K. Compatible devices can also export 10-bit HDR.

FAQ

Before you install.

What iOS version do I need?
Requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26. Install TrailVid through TestFlight using the beta link.
Does TrailVid upload my photos?
Photo import reads location and capture time on your device to draft the trip. It does not copy or upload the photos. You choose which places to keep before creating the trip.

Yes. Import one or several GPX files and TrailVid will draft the stops, dates and transport for you. Recorded tracks can also become the route shown in the video.
Can I use TrailVid on iPad?
Yes. TrailVid is optimized for iPad, and iCloud can keep your trips and themes in sync with your iPhone.
Do I need an account?
No. Install the beta through TestFlight and start creating.
