Like to beautify your videos? As you likely already know, iOS has a fantastic feature in Photos that lets you add filters to videos on your iPhone. The process is as smooth and straightforward as adding a filter to photos. Filters help enhance your videos and make them look more polished.

To remove filters from a video on iPhone

To undo the filter you applied on the video, simply tap Edit → Revert → Revert to original to remove all applied edits.

There’s more than just one way to style your videos. For instance, you could add sound and music to it for a better presentation. Let me show you how you can do so.

Add sound to a video on iPhone

Just like filters, iOS makes it effortless to add different sounds and music to your videos. Enhance your videos from top to bottom; refer to our complete guide for adding sound to your videos.

There are also third-party video editing apps available that you can use to take your editing skills to the next level.

What are the best video filter apps for iPhone?

Suppose you’re not quite satisfied with the filter options you get by default in iOS. In that case, you can always download some third-party video editing apps from the App Store. Some of the best Apps to have for adding filters in your videos are iMovie, LumaFusion, Splice, etc.

And that’s all, folks!

Add filters to your videos to make them look more professional, or simply to spruce them up a bit for your Instagram page. Personally, I prefer the built-in iOS filters from the editing tool as I just love its options, and it fulfills all of my filter needs.
