How to turn a long video into a short recap quickly?
Long dashcam recordings, holiday videos and moments with friends often stay on a phone without being reused. Turning them into short clips for Reels, YouTube Shorts or TikTok means opening an editor, finding usable moments by hand and exporting a new version.
Fast short video creation without manual timeline editing
Video Recap focuses on one clear workflow: select a video, choose the recap length and build a shorter recap from moments spread across the original recording. The app is built for fast reuse of footage already stored on the phone.
The Android work covered local video selection, recap creation, export, performance and a focused Compose UI. Privacy was part of the product design: selected videos are processed on the device instead of being uploaded to a custom backend.
An app for creating short videos from long recordings every day
I use Video Recap every day to create short videos from dashcam footage, holidays and moments with friends. The app turns long recordings into short recaps for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or TikTok, with video processing running directly on the device.
