100 clips
Five minutes. Edit, export, reopen.
A signed Samsung build played and exported a 100-clip project, split it to 101 clips, exported it again, then reopened the exact 05:00 timeline state.
Measured on real Android hardware
Built to challenge CapCut.
Benchmarked like it.
Real editor journeys. Physical phones. Decoded exports. These are the verified passes behind Cinematic Pro—not simulator screenshots or made-up speed claims.
Internal engineering measurements from August–September 2026. Every result is scoped to the build, device and workload shown.
20.856s
30-second export, P95
Five out of five runs completed at 0.695× realtime on the high-tier Android baseline.
94/94
Designed templates passed
Every authored caption ID passed the native-bitmap to decoded-export comparison sweep.
0.85%
Janky frames
Five of 589 frames in a current-hash 60-second swipe run, with no observed freeze or lost selection.
Measured improvements
Less waiting where creators feel it
We keep the before/after controls fixed, change one path, and decode the result before accepting the improvement.
Long-GOP seek P95
68% lower
The editor keeps original-quality export while using a verified editing proxy for faster exact seeks.
Managed re-import
85% lower
Removing redundant copy and hash work made an already-private 2.35 GB HDR source editable much sooner.
Captioned HDR export
38.384s
60 seconds of 1080p60 HLG
3,600 / 3,600 frames
Decoded and counted after the real UI export, with the caption compositor active.
Against the reference
Near-matched decoded picture fidelity
On the same source-only Samsung export diagnostic, Cinematic Pro reached a mean SSIM of 0.9804. CapCut measured 0.9809 on the same source.
That is a source-picture fidelity comparison—not a claim that every feature, device or interaction beats CapCut. We use the category leader as a reference and publish the result we can reproduce.
0.960.970.980.99
Cinematic Pro
0.9804
CapCut
0.9809
Higher is closer to the source. Same cleared 60-second portrait video; 720p30 H.264 source-only outputs.
Device evidence
Flagship quality. Lower-device discipline.
Correctness and sustained playback are checked beyond the development phone.
Galaxy A03s · A15 · A35
Targeted export and frame-identity checks passed across three physical Android tiers.
Moto g54 5G
Twenty generated preview samples completed with 6.21 ms render-frame P95, zero callback timeouts and thermal status 0.
Samsung SM-S938B
A sustained scrub session completed with peak Android thermal status 1 (light) and a stable editor process.
Tests passed
Zero failures across 260 suites on the frozen editor source used for the signed candidate.
● Owner-reviewed exports
The numbers ended in a human check
Edited portrait and landscape exports were reviewed on the Samsung for caption motion and placement, colour, framing, mixed-audio balance and ending sound. Both were approved as looking right.

Method
How a number earns its place here
- 01
Control the workload
Fix the source, resolution, frame rate and editor journey before comparing a change.
- 02
Run on physical Android hardware
Use real Samsung and lower-tier devices for decoder, renderer, memory and thermal behavior.
- 03
Verify the output
Decode exported video and audio, count frames, inspect timestamps and compare representative pixels.
- 04
Keep the scope honest
A passed result describes that build, device and workflow. It never becomes an unsupported universal speed claim.
