Video editing is one of the heaviest tasks that a device can perform. On computers, it requires decent specs, tons of RAM, tons of storage, and some know-how on how to make it work. Phones do not have the specs or power to replicate experiences like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro. However, some apps can do the basic stuff pretty well.
1. KineMaster
Company’s Claim: KineMaster is a full-featured video editor for Android. KineMaster has powerful tools that are easy to use.
KineMaster is the only full-featured professional video editor that brings a full suite of editing tools to Android, Chrome OS, iPhone and iPad, supporting multiple video layers, text layers, and image layers, as well as the ability to cut and trim clips precisely, multi-track audio, volume envelope control, color LUT filters, 3D transitions, chroma key, blending modes, and an asset store with much more downloadable content.
The premium subscription also features unlimited exports in resolutions up to 4K.
2. Alight Motion
Company’s Claim: Alight Motion is the first pro motion graphics app for your smartphone, bringing you professional-quality animation, motion graphics, visual effects, video editing, and video compositing.
The basic Alight Motion account is free to use, providing basic features and has a watermark on videos you create. The app supports bitmap and vector, which is something you do not easily find on mobile phones. There are several paid membership options in the app to get away with the watermark and access premium features.
