If you like to record your own videos with your mobile phone, surely you have ever considered editing them to give them that "magic touch" that turns them into a more professional recording. Any good video editor for android?
The 15 best apps to edit videos on Android
Many people are skeptical when it comes to editing videos from an app on Android / iPhone- You need a lot of RAM, a powerful CPU and resources, a lot of resources. For this reason, most prefer to use a PC and transfer their editing tasks there.
But let's not kid ourselves, even if we do not achieve results at the level of an Adobe Premiere Pro, Android still has a good handful of apps that are much more than helpful and that allow us create and retouch videosdirectly from the mobile. A good alternative to, for example, edit videos for YouTube that do not require much production or artifice.
Adobe Premiere Rush
Adobe Premiere Rush is a very complete video editor for Android with multitrack function. It allows us to use up to 4 video tracks and 3 audio tracks that we can superimpose to create much more complex videos than we could achieve with a simple standard video editor. We can also trim and resize the video which facilitates the creation of content in formats compatible with social networks such as YouTube or Instagram.
At a technical level we can add several videos in the timeline, correct colors, clean the audio or use templates to achieve a much faster editing. Since the disappearance of Adobe Premiere Clip from the Play Store, Premiere Rush is Adobe's official solution for editing videos on mobile devices and tablets.
However, all this set of functionalities has a cost: the free version only allows you to export 3 projects, from which point we will have to opt for a monthly subscription of about 12 euros to continue using the application.

Timbre is an audio and video cutter. It allows us to cut and paste mp3 and mp4 files to convert them to different formats. Does not leave water marks and it also allows you to change the speed of sound or image. Recommended application if we do not want to use effects or filters: simple and direct.
The application supports a good variety of video formats such as MP4, MKV, AVI, FLV, WEBM, and MPEG, among others. As far as audio is concerned, it can work with MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC and WMA files. As icing on the cake, it also allows you to convert videos to GIF format easily, which is not bad at all.

Quik has been developed by the team of Gopro, and it is one of the fastest apps to create amazing videos. We added a few photos and videos, and she alone is in charge of selecting the best moments, adding transitions, effects and adjusting everything to the rhythm of the music. So that later they say that making videos is not that easy!
Although yes, it has some limitations such as the maximum duration of the videos and we also have to be careful to remove the watermarks in the settings menu (they come by default). In any case, it is one of my favorite applications for creating eye-catching videos "on the fly" and I would personally dare to say that it is one of the most recommended for making short videos and sharing them with friends.
