Video editors for Android: overview of several programs

Video editors on "Android" offer the user such functions as image rotation, dividing the file into parts of the required duration, adding transitions, effects, audio tracks, titles. Often the possibility of using all useful options is difficult due to poor-quality interface. This article describes several tools for editing video files on a mobile OS.

Magisto

The main distinguishing feature of Magisto is its simplicity. This free video editor for "Android" is equipped with an automatic filter that turns on during image processing. The application can recognize faces and impose audio tracks on the video.

Immediately after the first launch, the program offers to register an account on Google+ or Facebook. Without this, the utility can not be used. The initial screen can display the work created in the program earlier, or the working panel used to start the creativity. It allows you to access files located on the device. In addition, there is the ability to connect to the cloud storage Google Drive. Like many other video editors on Android, the application processes and merges video files on their servers. Because of this, stable work is impossible without connecting to the Web.

Selecting a video, you need to set the background of the video. The program already has several options, but if they do not fit, the application gives you the opportunity to work in a special editor. For voice scoring, only MP3 songs are suitable.

Simple but popular

Magisto - not a professional video editor on "Android", but a simple application for everyone. Thanks to the interface, each user can try his hand at creating clips. You do not need to have professional knowledge and experience to work with the program. Processing images on remote servers will allow using the software even on weak devices. Magisto is often criticized for the frequent display of advertising. Also the program does not always cope with high-definition video.

Androvid

Like many other video editors on Android, Androvid is divided into two versions. The advantage of the first is free. The paid version is equipped with many functions.

The program can split the video file into parts or glue the existing recordings into one video and superimpose sound over the video. This completes the functionality of the free version. In the paid utility, the user can rotate the image to the desired angle, add transitions and effects to the video, and also several audio tracks at once. In addition, the application has a nice bonus - built-in converter. All this gives rise to saying that Androvid is the best video editor for "Android."

Funcional

The main screen is quite simple. It shows the buttons that run the basic functions, and help. The settings specify the rules for sorting files, auto-save settings, and notifications are disabled. The help is written in English, but all the information in it is shown simultaneously in detail and understandable.

After tapping the "Menu" button in the application, the screen for selecting videos and photos opens. To play the video, just click on its icon. At the same time, functional buttons are displayed on top. Editing video is done with their help. For example, to crop a movie, just click on the appropriate button, then on the scale set the markers of the beginning and end. The main disadvantage of the function is low accuracy. Transition with an interval of less than a second is not possible. By clicking on the icon with the note, you can extract the audio track from the video. To split the movie into several it is required to click on the inscription "Split".

There is an unusual feature in Androvid, which video editors on "Android" usually do not provide, - frame capture. With it, you can take a photo of specific video frames and save them. Graphic effects allow you to distort the image, change the speed of the video. With the built-in converter you can easily change the format and quality of the video, adjust the resolution. To share the fruits of creativity, just press a couple of buttons inside the application. It will automatically download and post the video on social networks.

Androvid - the best video editor for "Android", but these words only apply to the paid version. It is worth about 90 rubles at the moment. The only downside of the program is the inability to add subtitles to the video.
