The core difference is the approach
InShot is a classic timeline editor. You lay clips out on tracks, trim, add layers, music, text and transitions. It's flexible — you can build almost any video — but every decision is yours.
Dubl works differently. You add your takes, the AI transcribes your speech, groups the takes of each line and puts the best one in the video. Pauses are cut and captions and a hook appear on their own. Lines fall into place by meaning. Your part: pick another take if you don't like the suggestion, and hide anything extra.
Where InShot is stronger
InShot has far more tools for creative editing, and that's worth saying plainly:
- music, sound effects, transitions and filters — Dubl doesn't have these;
- layers: picture-in-picture, keyframes, chroma key;
- multiple aspect ratios and export up to 4K — Dubl makes vertical 9:16 video only;
- it runs on iPhone, Android and Mac, while Dubl is iPhone-only for now;
- text templates, AI voice, AI effects and background removal.
If your video relies on visuals, music and effects, InShot is the better fit.
Who each app suits
- InShot — people who enjoy editing by hand: vlogs, montages, music-driven clips, videos with transitions and effects, different formats for different platforms.
- Dubl — experts, teachers, specialists and anyone who talks to the camera: you film lines several times and want clean speech fast, with no pauses, slips or extra words.
What working on one video looks like
In InShot: film your lines, drop them on the timeline, rewatch every take, pick the good ones, trim pauses and slips by hand, balance the volume, add captions, choose a text style — and only then save.
In Dubl: film your lines with the teleprompter or pick videos from your gallery, wait for the transcript, check the take suggestions, hide an extra line or adjust the pause threshold if you like — and save the finished video.
Better together
How to use both
Build the talking part in Dubl: best takes, no pauses or extra words, with captions. Save the video to your gallery and open it in InShot to add music, transitions, filters or change the aspect ratio. Your speech is ready fast, and you still have every editor tool for the finishing touches.
