LightCut

LightCut is a mobile video editing app that DJI officially recommends for its users. It offers AI-based one-tap editing, video templates, effects, and inspirational shooting tutorials. The app can connect to multiple hardware devices and preview footage in real time; DJI also describes quick output without exporting. LightCut supports 4K export and is available on Android and iOS, with no desktop or web app. The iOS download page requires version 13.0 or later. LightCut is free: its listed plan includes one-tap editing, templates and effects, and mobile video editing, with no free trial. A key consideration is maintenance: DJI says updates and feature maintenance ended in September 2026. The company suggests DJI Mimo or DJI Fly for a smooth editing experience. Anyone considering LightCut should weigh its mobile editing tools against the end of ongoing updates and feature maintenance.

LightCut combines mobile editing, AI-based one-tap tools, templates, and 4K export at no cost. Its ended maintenance is an important limitation for anyone who values continued updates.

LightCut suits DJI users who want to edit video on an Android or iOS device with one-tap AI editing, templates, and real-time footage preview. iOS users need version 13.0 or later.
