Top 3 Social Video Editing Apps on Mobile

There was a time when video editing was a matter of high skills, big budgets, and fancy production suites. But these days, it seems like almost everyone who has a smartphone has the chance to create top-quality social video content anytime, anywhere.

After spilling our top 3 social media tools, this time, we’ll provide you with our top 3 social video editing apps that you can use simply on mobile. All of them come with wide all-in-one features and easy-to-use interfaces that are perfect for editing any social video content.

LumaFusion

This little app packs a massive punch and turns your iPhone or iPad into a professional post-production suite.

LumaFusion has been around since 2016 and it feels very similar to desktop editing programs such as iMovie and Adobe’s Premiere Rush. With so many tools, features, and functions, it is probably more suited to those who have a little more experience when it comes to video creation and editing.

The app supports multiple video formats, with a slick customisable interface to match your workflow. It also has a brilliant adjustable image stabiliser, and lets you play with up to 6 layers of audio and video. Its graphic equaliser is also top-notch with its background noise removal and its third-party audio apps plugin.

If you are on the road a lot, need to do quick shoots, drone footage, edits, and uploads; and have a good base knowledge of video editing, or just like to have as much control as possible on your mobile for social video editing, LumaFusion is the app for you!

InShot

We really like InShot as it is clean, complete, and easy to navigate for a mobile app.

Users are given 3 options for editing: video, photo, & collage. This little app has a simple and intuitive interface that provides you with all the basic tools you need for social video editing like cutting, cropping, splitting, freezing, and flipping.

It allows you to add text and animations easily and has a good library of both music and sound effects, as well as loads of filters and cool effects to get creative with. If you want to use a specific sound effect or voice, it will let you import it or record it easily, and adjusting the volume levels throughout the video is a cinch.

Their choices of tags, stickers, and GIFs are also huge and updated frequently to be added to any of your videos easily. The Canvas feature is excellent as it lets you create videos formatted specifically for various platforms, with tools that let you play with background options like colours, gradients, patterns, and blurs.

So if you’re looking for a complete, no-fuss video editing app, InShot is worth a try!

CapCut

This super little app lets you do social video editing worthy of any screen in just a few taps and is perfect for those with very limited video editing skills. CapCut has loads of features and functions that make it worth the download, such as:

• Video Editing
  You can easily edit your videos using their intuitive interface including splitting and joining clips, overlaying clips, changing up the video format as well as speed and reverse functions.
• Audio Options
  CapCut has a decent library of copyrighted songs and sound effects to choose from and you can add them under the Favourite button for easy access. You can also overlay a track and place it where you want in your video, or import songs from your own device (just be careful of copyright).
• Text Options
  Well-placed texts can help your video pop, and CapCut provides templates that make changing font sizes and styles super simple. Its Voiceover and Auto Captions tool is also very useful as it’s able to split all your generated captions into graphic layers in perfect sync. The Batch Edit tool lets you double-check all your captions in 1 place which saves loads of time!
• Stickers and Special Effects
  One of the things we love about CapCut is it lets us edit our videos like our pics and you will be spoiled for choice by their library of stickers and effects. Can’t find anything you like? Then just import your own.
• Transitions and Filters
  Admittedly the colour grading options in this app are limited. However, if you get creative with their built-in filters, you can easily create social media videos that look amazing! Plus, they offer the ability to connect multiple videos seamlessly with their transition options.

These are just a few of the reasons why CapCut comes in as our #1 pick for social video editing apps on mobile. Oh, and one more incredible thing about CapCut… It is available for free on iOS and Android.

There we go. The best three apps that you can find and use, at least from our experience. Have you used any of these social video editing apps? Have you even implemented social video content for your marketing?
