Roll

A closer look at Roll

Roll is an iOS video platform that turns phone capture into edited video, with multicam recording, visual effects and automatic editing, aimed at creators who shoot and publish from their phone.

Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.

When to choose Roll

• Mobile creators who shoot and edit entirely on iPhone.
• Short-form video makers who want fast automatic edits.

When to choose something else

• Desktop editors who need a timeline-based workstation app.
• Users who need to edit video shot on a dedicated camera rather than phone capture, since Roll turns phone capture into edited video

A practical starting workflow

1. Shoot on your iPhone with the Roll app.
2. Use multicam capture and visual effects on the footage.
3. Let the automatic editing finish the cut and publish it.
