1. FilmoraGo
Filmora is known for its incredible video editing software, so it’s no surprise that their video editing app FilmoraGo maintains that high standard.
2. Magisto
Magisto is an easy-to-use editing app. Their goal is to turn images and videos into stories in just a few seconds. This app can enhance your videos in a few quick clicks.
3. Adobe Premiere Clip
Adobe Premiere Clip is another one of our best video apps that comes from a big-name editing tool.
Unlike the full desktop version, this app has more simplified features. It still accomplishes its mission to help users “create, edit, and share” videos.
4. Overvideo
Overvideo is the only video editing app on this list that is only for iOS devices, so Android users may want to skip this one.
5. LapseIt
LapseIt is a simple but excellent editing app that I love.
Timelapse videos can perform really well on social media; they grab your eye quickly, and they are effective at showing something that takes space over an extended period of time.
6. Quik
Quik is an incredible video editing software created by GoPro, and makes it easy to create social-ready videos in a few minutes or less.
7. Vizmato
If you’re looking for a quick video editing tool, Vizmato is a good choice. It lets you record videos in-app in HD from either rear or front-view cameras, or use videos from your phone’s library.
8. Cute CUT
I’ve used Cute CUT when I needed to create Instagram Story Ads quickly (but make sure you choose the portrait view).
9. In-Shot App
In-Shot App is another one of those great, easy-to-use video editing apps that you can use on the go.
You can upload videos and then add music, voice over narrations, text and emoji overlays, and time them all to appear at the right time and for the exact desired length.
10. PowerDirector Video App
This GooglePlay video app can do a lot, and it can do so while delivering fantastic quality: including 4k videos with hardware support.
This is something that not a ton of other apps on this can do, so that’s a huge advantage.
If you want your content pulled up on YouTube on a fancy big-screen TV, after all, the ability to have your videos show up in 4k will not only make them more enjoyable to watch, but it’ll make your brand look exceptional and highly qualified, too.
11. KineMaster
KineMaster is all about precision editing, and you can actually trim videos at a frame-by-frame granularity and then immediately preview them to see how they look.
This app also gives you a lot more flexibility with layering than some of the other options here.
You can add layer after layer of text, graphics, images, and even handwriting on top of your videos to get the exact desired effect that you’re going for.
12. LumaFusion
I spent a lot of time in writing communities and kept noticing that some of my journalists friends kept mentioning something called “LumaFusion” over and over again. When I asked about it, they told me it was their go-to choice for video editing on the go, mainly when they were in a place they couldn’t bring their laptops.
13.Best Desktop Video Editing Software
With the increased emphasis on—and necessity for—video in marketing, having reliable, high-quality video editing tools is a necessity.
While the above should have you covered for social posts, there are a few editing tools I also wanted to include.
13. Shakr
While some videos like explainer videos may work best when created by a designer who is working on custom animation, most videos that brands use on social media and their landing pages merely need a little help to take it from an “I shot this on my iPhone” look to something that looks professional.
14. Camtasia
For a short period of time, I was hired to edit and assemble videos for a marketing company. I used Camtasia the entire time, and I just used it a few weeks ago when recording a training video for a new employee.
15. Premiere Elements 15
For those who prefer Adobe photo editing and are digitally and artistically talented, Premiere Elements 15 may be your video editing tool of choice.
It has better visual editing (as opposed to clip editing) features.
You can, according to one of their videos, literally “turn a frown upside down” with their video editing features designed to adjust facial features.
16. Final Cut Pro X
Final Cut Pro X has some insanely cool features, and if you’re looking for an all-out, does-everything-you-could-possibly-need video editing tool, this is the one to choose.
It’s only available for Apple, but if you have a Mac, you need to check this one out.
