Best Video Editing Apps For Android - 2023 Review!

[@faceonnailsdonehairdid]

Thanks for this. As someone who only has time to edit on my phone, I came across your channel years back when I was just starting my channel and struggling to edit on my desktop. You suggested Powerdirector in the video and I haven't looked back since; I have the pro version btw. While the app has had its issues from time to time it's come on leaps and bounds since then and has so many features that are constantly being updated. I just love that I can edit on the go, with graphics, music abd sound effects, if needed- as a mum, that's a life saver. The best part, which can be the downfall of some android editting apps, is that it can handle long form videos too (up to a limit of just over 1hr before crashing) and doesn't have a 20 min limit like Vimeo and Inshot (if I remember correctly). It would be great to add this to future videos to test how they handle different video lengths or to see what the max length or size they can handle is. Also, LumaFusion seems like a great contender for Powerdirector. Could you please do a comparison video for the two?

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks for your feedback here, Powerdirector is a good option too. Comparing it to LumaFusion though, the two are really on different levels in terms of pro level features. Check out some lumafusion tutorials to see how much is in there, it's pretty amazing

[@wio2189]

Vllo does 120gb / 2h45min flawlessly. Starts up in about a minute.

[@3goldfinger]

It would be nice if people who do these reviews could include what minimum specifications are needed to run the apps.

Hush lol

[@florinpopa4304]

Really?

[@hahahahahahahahdhd]

android 6 ok💀💀💀

[@Muhluri]

Never knew Lumafusion was on Android. Instant pick for me!

[@unfilteredover5072]

As a beginner video editor for my TikTok and IG shorts, I have had great ease with VN because it's intuitive from my Photoshop experience in graphic design. From your review here, I'm going to give Capcut and VLLO a shot. I don't need filters for my makeup content but I do need to easily insert picture in picture or video and graphics to identify the products I'm using. I'd also like to edit music more easily. Which is better for that? It seems that LUMAFUSION is something to work upto after mastering the others, especially since I prefer to edit on Android phone or tablet.

[@PrimalVideo]

There are pros and cons with each, if you're already liking VN, it is still a very good option and only just missed out on this shortlist

[@MrJBM247]

Define edit music? All should allow videos to be cut up/split. There are also audio editors out there. I use a video converter that just so happens to do audio too.

[@Lifestylebydeeya]

I have had Lumafusion for over a year now but I still find it complicated as an intermediate editor. So find myself using CAPCUT & VLLO more often with the hope to give Lumafusion another try.

[@GeertjeAlgera]

Totally agree!

[@MrJBM247]

I want to try Lumafusion but given the fact that I've paid for InShot (leaving it since it doesn't have keyframes unless I'm inserting a pic/sticker), Videoleap (limited transitions and no beats like iOS), Power Director years ago but now they have put alot of stuff behind a subscription, and I want to try VLLO. But I hope to transition from my phone to a computer once I invest in a camera, so I'll probably pay for DaVinci Resolve.

[@Lifestylebydeeya]

@@MrJBM247 I guess as creators we keep searching for the most suitable App or software and we just can't get enough of it 😆 I never tried Inshot because I felt it was mostly for beginners that are not anything technical however I love Davinci when working the computer, tried Final Cut Trial version am not a fan but am now looking at trying Adobe Premiere. I just want try them all

[@MrKing-lc3uc]

Capcut not available on Play Store?idk it isn't there ...There is one named EasyCut with kind of alpha sign

[@MrJBM247]

I'm a fan of Filmora. Costs about $29 in the Play Store. Paid for VLLO but the transitions are limited (if that's not a deal, it's great). InShot is cool too... keyframes are limited and I like to zoom in and out of a clip.

Please may i ask: Are there effects that work on objects in the video? Like putting a colored outline around the edges of an object or some crazy effect like changing its color?

[@NapBlack]

Your channel is the reason why I've been using VN video Editor for the longest time. I would definitely make use of CapCut if I had to choose from this roster of editing apps. Thanks for the high quality content as always and keep it up!

Hello! i am deaf, i am planning to become an streamer and i wanted my channel to be best channel and i wanted people to enjoy my videos. I am been enjoying to watch your videos, but to be honest, if thats okay with you, would you put the closed caption on your each videos, english. not general closed caption because they are kinda not great and its hard to catch what did you talking about. So, please make that closed caption to be english, you know what do i mean... Thank you for reading! Also, i do absolutely loves your videos!

[@JasminesCuriosityCorner]

I recently made a short using Capcut. You're right it is similar to Vn, which is a good thing and helped me navigate throughout it easily. Thank you for another educational video.

no problem! great to have you here

[@AnimalsKevin]

I've tried inshot but not impressed with the quality of videos after editing.. Is Capcut good?

Glad to see all these amazing apps are still repping although there are still limitations.

[@PrimalVideo]

I take the approach that there is no perfect option, just need to find the best one for you for the types of videos you make

[@blondecardsncrafts]

I use kinemaster for my card making KZbin videos (thanks for recommending) and love it! Hubby just got me an amazing laptop for Christmas.... going to have to find an editing app for that. Now, to browse your videos that recommend for windows 11. 😁

[@remoteworkinternational]

There are alot of beginner video editing that you can use on your laptop. They are kdenlive, open shot, vsdc, clipchamp, hitfilm express, minitool movie maker, shotcut, davinci resolve,cyberlink power director, etc

[@blondecardsncrafts]

@Nikki201626 Thanks Nikki, I got the DaVinci resolve 18 for my laptop. It's scary looking compared to what I use on my phone but giving it a go. 😁

[@remoteworkinternational]

@@blondecardsncrafts You're welcome. davinci resolve can be very scary to use but you can take it slow and take your time mastering it in 3 months. You can look on tutorials on how to use it. Davinci resolve can lag at times though but it's a very good video editing software.

[@bradstoops8862]

I mainly use Camtasia Studio on my Win 11 laptop. Not free, but it's a great balance of features and ease of use with excellent product support.

[@russtorque2993]

What video editor apps you recommend for for merging multiple short videos into one?... I'm not interested in those special effects, just merging multiple videos into one. All i have in my android phone is a cheap video editor that can only trim the ends start/end.

[@PrimalVideo]

Most editing apps will let you do that really easily

[@darrencurtisuk]

Anyone else here because of Kinemaster's new outrageous pricing? Capcut has some decent / handy features, however I think I'm going to go with Powerdirector Thanks for the vid, handy as always

Right now, nothing.

[@stillnotstill]

I'm kind of in your boat, if you still have this question after 5 months, I did try VLLO and while I had to play with it for a little while and I did find it a little frustrating at first, it seemed to be a lot easier to understand than other video editors I've tried on Android

[@JabarisFitnessChannel]

Hey, I've come up with a theory I hope you could create a video on and it is that you don't need to put tags on your videos. The reason I say that is because big KZbinrs one including mrbeast and he doesn't even use tags and his receives millions of views. Including that most of the creators creators usually get most views from suggestions, search, channel pages, browse features and etc. KZbin even directly states this underneath the tag subheading, "Tags can be useful if content in your video is commonly misspelled. Otherwise, tags play a minimal role in helping viewers find your video."
