Never underestimate the power of the phone in your pocket. The new iPhone X and Google Pixel 2 are packed with 12-megapixel cameras offering creators some of the most advanced camera technology to shoot professional quality content anytime, anywhere. While you may be recording in high resolution, you will still need to refine your video with editing software before you hit ‘post’. The best part about these mobile apps is that they are free and easy to use regardless of your video editing experience, so continue reading to learn more about the four video editing apps you should download today.

Why Use A Video Editing App?

Having a video editing app installed on your phone offers creators a convenient and effective way to edit and publish their content on-the-go. The demand for videos on social media has never been higher. In fact, by 2019, video content will be the driving factor behind 85% of search traffic in the US. Creators looking to take advantage of this trend and gain more exposure for their content on social media will need to post actively and often in order to keep their audience engaged as long as possible. However, it is important to note that sacrificing video quality over video quantity will have a negative impact on your audience. Taking a few seconds to download a video editing app on your mobile phone is much faster and easier than opening up your computer, loading a program, syncing your video, editing, and finally exporting it. By the time you are done, you could have already gained likes and views on social media. Mobile editing apps are a fast and easy tool to edit and post with no additional hassle.

Inside The Apps

If you’re just getting in videography you’ll want to choose an app that is simple and easy to use. Apps like Quik, iMovie, PowerDirector, or Movie Edit Touch make social ready videos in a snap. Our favorite was Quik which was created by GoPro and allows users to select a theme for their video. The app will use an algorithm to analyze clips you’ve uploaded and will select the best moments to mash together for a final project. If you want to add audio to your video, Quik has the ability to auto-sync music to your content. Alternatively, users who do not want to utilize the auto-generation feature can manually choose their own sections of the clip to edit. Additionally, iMovie (for iOS devices), Power Director (for Andriod devices), and Movie Edit Touch all work in similar ways. They allow creators to select clips, quickly trim, and arrange them. They also include more advanced editing features like manually adding transitions, filters, audio, texts, and cuts. Plus, they’re free and have easy to use interfaces that will make your experience quick and easy.
