In this article we select 11 video editors for Android that you can use for freealthough the usual thing is that some functions are restricted to the payment of the Pro version. The best thing of all is that you do not need to invest a lot of time or effort, because some of them do the video edition almost automatic.
Magisto
We start the list with probably the app that makes video editing the easiest, Magisto. Its main advantage is that the app takes care of doing almost all the work for youso you just need to provide the video clips and wait.
The free version has certain limits – you can’t export the resulting video, for example – but it allows you to evaluate “the magic”. Basically you add the clips, you choose the theme and the soundtrack and wait for the result.

livevideo
VivaVideo is one of the most popular video editors on Google Play, with over 100 million downloads to its credit. The free version has several limitations and the app over time has been filled with too many additions, but it is still a good option, with interesting editing options.
Without paying you have to tread carefully to avoid paid functions, but in return you have a voice changer, the possibility of adjust the speed of a clip, transitionsready-to-use music and effects.

FilmoraGo
FilmoraGo is a video editing application that you must use with your mobile in landscape. It has a somewhat peculiar interface, although once you get used to its way of use you should move faster than in other similar applications.
As a video editor it is reminiscent of PC editors, allowing some advanced features not available from the competition, such as add voiceover, set transitions between clips or add text and subtitles.

InShot Video Editor
InShot’s video editor is reminiscent of Viva Video, but with a simpler interface and without trying to get you to checkout with each click (it also has a Pro version, which is €29.99 for a single payment or €3.09 per month).
As a video editor it has all the basic options and more, including filters, music, different types of backgrounds for videos that do not occupy the entire screen, overlay of text and various stickers ready to use.

Video Show
VideoShow has a lot in common with Viva Video. To begin with, it also exceeds one hundred million downloads on Google Play and also has a paid version valued at €41.99 for life or €22.99 per year. Noted for its ready to use themeswhich add transitions, filters and music automatically.
With it, you can add music, sound effects, and voice-over to a video, as well as refine them by filters, effects, transitions and stickers. The Spanish translation is a bit quirky – not to say bad – so you might want to use it in English.
Video editor: cut videos
Kine Master
A more traditional option is KineMaster, a video editor that behaves more like the video editors of a lifetime, with its timeline and horizontal interface. Although it has a paid version, you can also use it without checking out in exchange for certain restrictions.
With it you can create different layers, add voice, audio and video easily, as well as choose between a good selection of varied transitionsexpandable from the own store accessible from the application itself.

video shop
If the above options are too exotic for you, Videoshop is a somewhat simpler editor. The free version has certain limitationsbut it allows you to make simple edits easily and quickly.
Editing options include add music and audio effects, trim video clips, add text and choose from the four available transitions to switch from one clip to another. Voice over, reverse, rotate and tilt tools are reserved for the paid version.

quik
Quik is the official Go Pro video editing app. It’s basically a must-have if you have one of their action cameras, but works equally well with videos from your mobile that you have saved in your gallery.
As a video editor, you can use it at two speeds: Semiautomatic or manual. In this last case you have the possibility to adjust the order of the clips, the speed, choose between different types of cuts and add texts.

PowerDirector
CyberLink PowerDirector is another video editing heavyweight. Its app for Android exceeds 50 million downloads and works so similar to a traditional video editor for PC, with several tracks in the timeline.
You’ll need a mobile phone with a big enough screen to take advantage of it, but in return you’ll be able to change the speed of a clip, add music and sound effects, filters and choose between a large selection of transitions.

YouCut
Lastly, we have YouCut which, despite what its name might suggest, does much more than just cut videos. It really is about a complete video editor that has little or nothing to envy to InShot Video Editor, from the same creators.
With it you can join various video clips and photos, trim them, add effects, texts and emojis, choose effects, add music and record your voiceover. The free version has certain limitations that are removed for a single payment of €9.99 or €3.99 per year.

CapCut
CapCut is the video editing app from the creators of TikTok. It is a complete application focused on vertical video editing, which offers so many possibilities that it seems unbelievable that it is a video editing app on mobile.
CapCut is ideal for editing videos, and in the resolution that we want, even 4K HDR, being able to adjust almost all the basic parameters of the video, such as brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, temperature, with a huge library of transitions and effects and texts.
