VN Video Editor Alternative for Musicians - SONGTAKE

This is YOU?

VN cuts clips well for free, but it does not record a synced multicam take.
Filming on one phone gives one angle and weak camera sound.
Aligning separate clips by hand eats up your editing time.
You want the music as real multitrack, not a single camera mic.
You want separated stems before you build the edit.

Pro Tip: TIP: SONGTAKE captures the synced multicam performance and multitrack audio, so it drops into VN already aligned. Film the angles, split stems with AI, then cut the video in VN.
