3.4. Video editing apps for mobile devices

Video editing is no longer limited to the computer. The best video editing apps for iPhone and Android allow you to create content on mobile devices for free in many cases and can be downloaded for efficient video editing. Always keep in mind that the free versions are watermarked.

VivaVideo (Android/iOS)

Free video editing software compatible with multiple operating systems. The editor is one of the best camcorder and video editing apps on the mobile app market and ranks first as a free video editing app.

iMovie (iOS)

The iOS mobile app has iMovie built-in, with a video version for professionals and beginners. For example, it supports 4K and multi-track editing, has a wide range of filters and allows the insertion of free music that automatically adjusts to the length of the video. The following options are predefined in the app: photo album, sports, travel, comic and neon. Each option comes with music, transitions and text overlays, saving time and effort during the editing process.

Go Pro Quick (Android/iOS)

GoPro’s product for creating summaries of multiple clips. It is ideal for quick, tailored videos on Instagram, mixing and matching clips, although it is not suitable for 4K video edits or more complex projects. It has a limited free version.

Kinemaster (Android/iOS)

It offers support for 4K editing and exports videos to YouTube. Clips can be trimmed, cropped and adjusted frame-by-frame and to audio tracks. KineMaster does not have a traditional timeline, so clips overlap rather than sit underneath on a separate track. Images, video effects and text can be added to create a sophisticated final product. The free version comes with a watermark.
