Android Video Editors

In this article, I am going to crack down the best android video editors right now in 2020.We are gonna take a look at the leading options after all of our in-depth testings and finished with the reveal of my top pick for the best video editing app for Android. Here we help you grow an audience and scale your revenue with online video. All the links to everything I mentioned in this article below.

We're gonna take a look at the best video editors that are available on android right now including the pros and cons of each before revealing our choice for which app takes the top spot now as we go through make sure to let me know down in the comments below what your favorite android video editing app and most importantly why and whether you agree with our choices or disagree. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments now there are so many options when it comes to video editing apps on Android.

So now for our shortlist in no particular order, we've got Adobe pro rush, Inshot, Kinemaster, and VLLO. Now I'm gonna give you a quick little overview of each of these apps below.So let's go-

Adobe Premiere Rush:

So the first one is Adobe Premiere Rush now. This is really the baby brother of the professional video editing software on Mac and PC. Adobe Premiere Pro and while it is a cut-down version it packs a punch in the number of features and control that you get in this app.

It's also the only app that will work cross-platform and cross-device meaning that you can start an edit in premiere rush on your iPhone you can open it up on your Android device or your Mac and PC and make changes and it's just synchronized across all of them.

So this makes your workflow so easy for you to start something on your phone or an iPad or tablet and then finish it off on your desktop computer personally. I love how fast it is to edit in and how intuitive it is to quickly find everything that you need without needing to get bogged down in menus upon menus to go and find everything.

I also love how fast and easy it is to reformat your videos. I mean if you start with a sixteen by nine or a widescreen video and you want to quickly change it to something to fit an Instagram story in portrait but the click of a button you can change and you can reformat your video to that and it's actually going to do a great job at lining up all your titles and those sorts of things as well it's also got amazing control over things like the audio.

There's some really powerful audio features in there that not only make it really easy to get your volume levels right there's an auto mode that does all of it for you if you want but you can also dial in and control everything manually which is awesome.

The other thing that's worth knowing at the time of recording this video there is still no ability to reverse a clip or play it backwards which does seem a little strange given that it is something that public people use when they're editing their videos and it's also pretty rare to not have that feature in a video editing application or software.

Now in regards to pricing there is a free version of this app but you only get to export three videos so you're really going to be looking at paid version which starts at $9.99 per month the other option you've got is to bundle it with either Adobe Premiere Pro or the rest of the Adobe suite.If you've already got premiere or you're paying for their Adobe master suite then you've already got access to Adobe Rush without any additional expense.

Now don't worry if you're freaking out about the price and the monthly subscription there's some other apps coming up that may be better suited for you but overall I would recommend Adobe Premiere rush to anyone whether you're an absolute beginner right through to intermediate or advanced level.I do think it is a great option for video editing on Android.

Inshot :

The number two on the shortlist is Inshot now out of all the apps we are covering off in this video Inshot is hands-down the easiest video editing app to use but that doesn't mean that it doesn't pack a punch.

It doesn't have all the advanced features and control like Adobe Premiere rush or like some of the other apps that we are about to mention but it is super powerful for allowing you to create your videos fast and easily and still having them look really good now just like in Adobe Premiere rush .

If you do want to reformat your videos from widescreen to portrait for Instagram stories or square in shop makes that surprisingly easy as well and there's also a surprisingly huge amount of customization and control over the effects and things that you can apply to your edit as well and one of the standout features for me was having the ability in such a easy app to be capable to implement an effect to multiple clips in your timeline or in your edit without needing to manually set everything for every individual clip it's such a simple thing and a lot of the more professional apps have this built in and yet it's awesome to have it in Inshot as well but what you won't get in in shot is the ability to have multiple video layers or video tracks or to be out of stack your video clips on top of one another.

There's also no control over frame rates so if you want to be editing in a specific frame rate you're not going to have that here and there's also no advanced professional level features things like key-framing or advanced audio control if you're after those one of the other options is going to be a better pick for you but what they do include an inshot is all the tools and everything that an absolute beginner or someone who just wants to edit fast is going to need to be able to do just that.

Now in regards to pricing, there is a free version it does have a watermark but you can click to remove it and all you need to do is to watch an ad and your video can be exported without a watermark .So it's free you also can pay $1.99 to remove ads completely from the app you also have the option to unlock the pro version of inshot and this unlocks all the paid filters effects and stickers pricing wise for the pro version starts at four dollars thirty-nine per month or $42.99 as a one-time purchase but again you can use this app totally for free and without a watermark.

Kinemaster :

App number three on the shortlist is Kinemaster. Now Kinemaster is probably the most professional video editing app on Android right now you've got a huge amount of control and tools and features and things that you would normally only find in desktop video editing programs things like advanced keyframing things like audio ducking equalizers, advanced editing tools like ripple edit to let you edit your footage down much much faster.

I also like to divided some simple stuff like video layouts or presets for your video layouts. So if you want to have more than one video on the screen say 50% of the screen one video 50% another or image you can use one of the presets to quickly set that.

They also have an asset store. So if you want to purchase music effects filters. You can do all of that from within the app as well now as for the downsides the two main things. I think Kinemaster is missing is the ability to easily switch between the different formats against for from widescreen to portrait to the square. You actually can't do that in Kinemaster. You have to select what type of video you're creating upfront before you. Start editing and you can't change it afterward the other thing is the color correction or the color grading tools yes you can tweak some colors and make some minor adjustments but they're pretty basic.

Now in regards to pricing is a free version of Kinemaster available you can download it. You can use it on your device for free but it does have a made with Kinemaster watermark or logo or branding that will be saved out on your video unless you sign up for one of their subscriptions. So your options are $4.99 per month or $39.99 for the year and again I think that's cheap considering what this app will let you do and how fast is going to let you create your videos down on your Android device. So I think Kinemaster will be perfect for someone whether you are an absolute beginner right through to intermediate or advanced because it is easy enough to jump in to get up to speed with the interface. it's pretty intuitive. it's not as easy as inshot or probably as easy as Adobe Premiere rush but it's not going to be too overwhelming or too hard for you to figure out but having all of those advanced and professional features in there.Then yes it's gonna be perfect for someone who is looking for that advance control and advanced functionality while they're editing as well.

Vllo :

So number four in the shortlist is Vllo. I didn't have high expectations for this when I downloaded it and installed it but it's awesome. Once again it's got a super simple interface. So it's really easy to use and to get up to speed editing in there but it's got some cool advanced features in there as well that are gonna make your editing much much easier simple things like having an audio waveform or the visual representation of the audio in your videos that's overlaid on top of the clips in your timeline.

There are not many video editing apps out there that give you that functionality. They also have a really powerful video editing feature here that's normally only in the top video editing software on the desktop. This makes it so easy to bulk apply effects or bulk apply color grades across your entire edit fast.

It also has a great amount of control over things like your color grade you can get in and dial in and tweak and adjust to make the colors in your video look the way that you want or to fix up any mistakes that you might have had while you were filming now the biggest thing though that this app is missing right now the time of recording this video is the multitrack video layers or picture-in-picture layers as they call it having the ability to stack video clips on top of one another. Now, this is something that their iOS version already available. So I'm expecting this is something that they issue on Android soon but for now yes it doesn't have that feature.

Now the app is free and it doesn't have a border mark so you can use the basic functions in the app and export your videos without any branding or anything on there are ads in the free version but if you do purchase the app for $10.99 you're gonna unlock all the features in the app which for the most part. I would say that you want to be doing that but also you remove any ads from the interface as well .

So I'm pretty blown away with this app and I think it's again gonna be perfect for someone whether you are an absolute beginner right through to an advanced user because of how easy it is to find everything how easy it is to edit but also having a lot of those advanced features and things in there as well so these are our top four shortlisted apps now.

Conclusion:

If I had to pick a winner it's gonna be hard but I think my number one pick would be Adobe Premiere rush I like that it is cross-platform cross-device. I can start something on my phone. I can pick it up on them on my neck I can even transfer the project from premiere rush into Adobe Premiere Pro.

If I want to finish it on a more advanced editing system but I can't say that I've ever done that or needed to do that because everything that I've needed to do in the app, I've just done in the app I would say a cost runner up there is Kinmaster because it hands-down has the most amount of advanced tools and functionality in any app on Android but I'm also totally blown away with Vllo and if they did have that multitrack feature on Android or when they have that on Android that can change the game a little bit.So now that you've worked out which one of these is the best app for you.
