Onyx Vision

The second major feature group is "Add elements," which enables users to put objects into their videos that were not originally present. Just as with removal, this is activated by typing a descriptive text prompt, such as "add a flying bird" or "place a neon sign in the background." The app's AI then composites the requested element into the scene, adjusting lighting, scale, and perspective to create a natural integration. This feature opens creative possibilities for storytelling, visual effects, and content personalization that previously required advanced compositing skills. For instance, a marketer creating a product demo could add animated annotations, or a vlogger could insert funny stickers or characters into a travel video. The ability to add elements via text dramatically lowers the barrier to producing engaging, dynamic content, making advanced video effects accessible to non-specialists on their iPhones.

The third feature highlighted is "Change the style," which allows users to transform real footage into animation or different artistic styles. By typing a prompt like "turn this into anime" or "apply a watercolor effect," the AI re-renders the entire video clip according to the requested aesthetic. This stylistic transformation is a powerful tool for creative projects, social media content, and artistic experimentation. Unlike traditional video filters that merely overlay a color grade, Onyx Vision's style change fundamentally alters the visual composition to emulate a specific art form or genre. Users can produce unique, eye-catching videos that stand out on platforms like TikTok or Instagram without needing to learn animation software or hire a designer. This feature alone can repurpose ordinary footage into extraordinary content, providing a competitive edge for creators who constantly seek fresh looks.

Overall, the workflow of Onyx Vision is designed to be as straightforward as possible: the user picks any video from their camera roll or shoots a new one, writes a text description of the desired change, and then lets the app process the edit using its artificial intelligence. The app handles the technical heavy lifting—analyzing the video, interpreting the prompt, and generating the modified clip—without requiring the user to understand how AI or video processing works. Importantly, the app requires a subscription to access these video generation features; free usage is limited or non-existent beyond a trial. The three subscription plans—Starter ($19.99/month for 60 seconds of generation time), Pro ($39.99/month for 120 seconds), and Studio ($79.99/month for 300 seconds)—cater to different usage intensities. This straightforward, prompt-driven approach means anyone can achieve professional-looking edits in seconds, regardless of prior video editing experience.

Concrete use cases for Onyx Vision are explicitly described on the App Store page: removing a trash can from a background, adding something cool to a scene, and turning a normal clip into an anime. In the first scenario, a user who filmed a beautiful outdoor space but captured an unsightly bin can instantly clean the shot by typing the removal command, resulting in a pristine video ready for sharing. For adding elements, a content creator might want to include a fire effect or a character to dramatize a scene, achievable with a simple text prompt. The style change feature allows turning everyday footage into artistic works—ideal for social media posts, music videos, or personal projects. The outcomes are professional-quality videos created without any editing knowledge, saving hours of manual work. Users report immediate satisfaction and the ability to produce multiple variations of a clip with different prompts, enhancing their creative output.

Onyx Vision is explicitly designed for iPhone users, requiring iOS 15.1 or later and an iPhone or iPod touch device. The target audience includes anyone who wants to change a video but lacks expertise in complex editing software—ranging from casual social media users and vloggers to small business owners and educators who need quick video fixes. The app is developed by Davud Cokic and is available for free download with in-app purchases; the three subscription tiers ensure users can choose a plan matching their generation needs. The app also includes a free trial and onboarding process (as noted in version 1.0.1), allowing new users to test its capabilities before committing. In summary, Onyx Vision delivers on its promise of making video editing as simple as typing, removing the technical barriers that prevent many people from improving their videos. It stands out as a user-friendly AI video editor that places professional-grade editing power into the hands of every iPhone owner.
