It felt like it might never end, but the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are finally over. We have to go back to a world where everything is full price… except for our daily selection of free apps, of course. That’s right, Black Friday or not, we’ve still got a bunch of paid apps on sale for free to choose from today.

MUST SEE: Report says the new 4.7-inch iPhone 8 will be more exciting than you think

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

SignerStudio

Normally $3.99.

A Complete Video Studio in an App

Signer Studio is a complete video production studio in an app. Signer Studio includes advanced video recording with an intelligent prompter and a video editor that integrates subtitle creation. Projects can be exported in multiple ways, from Facebook to Final Cut Pro.

Motion Activated Recording

Signer Studio uses patent pending motion activated recording. The camera detects when you start and stop signing and perfectly trims and chops up your presentation into manageable segments. No need to fiddle with the record button. No need to trim off the start and end of clips. Your presentation is segmented and ready for editing and export.

Revise, Reorder, Re-sign

Signer Studio excels at letting you revise your presentation. Want to change the order of two sentences? Just drag them into place. Want to re-sign a sentence or two? Just tap a button and re-record only that segment.

Editing sign language video in Signer Studio is like editing text in a word processor. That’s why we call it a “Sign Processor”.

Intelligent Prompter

When you have a prompter, you can organize your presentation beforehand and record it in one go. No need to memorize long sections of your presentation. No need to re-record multiple times. The prompter is even intelligent so that it advances at the right time.

Add Subtitles

In Signer Studio, each clip is associated with text. You can use that text as a prompt or as a subtitle. You can export subtitles overlaid on your video or export them separately as .SRT for upload to YouTube or Vimeo.
