Best Video Editing Apps in 2022

Since the rise of smartphones, DIY video production has exploded. Amateur and professional videographers now carry a powerful pocket film studio to film, edit and publish their cinematic creations. As a result, video editing apps have blown up. That is why, with Render Perfect Productions, we wanted to look at a few of the best video editing apps in 2022.

Quik

The app is super clever in the way it uses AI – it analyzes your videos to detect colors and faces in order to frame your footage perfectly.

Quik also lets you add transitions and effects onto a maximum of 200 photos and video clips from your photo library or GoPro Plus. Not only can you trim, zoom and rotate photos and video clips, but you can also choose from 26 different themes and a range of fonts, filters and graphics. And with access to 100+ free songs, you can throw in the perfect soundtrack, too!

You can create HD 1080p or 720p videos in cinema, square or portrait formatting for social sharing and even save your draft projects for up to seven days.

Best of all, it’s totally free to use.

Quik is a brilliant choice if you’re looking for a free app that’s packed with features. Take advantage of access to 100+ free songs, with Flashbacks and QuikStories create videos based on your latest footage.

The app also syncs footage to the beat of your soundtrack, and offers AI editing help.

Available for iPhone, iPad and Android.

Adobe Premiere Rush

As you’d expect from an Adobe product, Premiere Rush has plenty of neat features. You can capture professional videos directly from the app with the built-in camera, and easily edit footage with drag-and-drop functionality.

You can sync your video to the beat of your chosen soundtrack and add all the usual finishing touches, like titles and transitions. (The app comes with thousands of royalty-free, original soundtracks, sound effects and loops to help you bring your videos to life.)

One feature that’s cool is the app’s ability to handle multiple video tracks. This lets you create impressive effects like picture-in-picture and split views with minimal effort and fuss.

Premiere Rush has been built with sharing in mind, making it easy to resize your videos for different social networking sites and share instantly. With the ability to resize to landscape, portrait, square and 4:5 you’ll be able to repurpose your video quickly and easily to the specs you need – and even share directly to TikTok, Instagram and Facebook with a single click.

Available for iPhone, iPad and Android.

iMovie

There’s a reason Apple’s free apps pepper this list; they have a knack for creating brilliantly functional and easy-to-use apps that are loaded with original features. Their ubiquitous iMovie app does everything a video editor should do.

What iMovie offers in abundance is simplicity and speed. It’s not the most feature-packed option on our list, but if you’re looking for a way to quickly and easily make edits and create great looking videos, it’s worth a look for sure.

Particularly because there’s a good chance you don’t even need to download anything: all Mac OSX devices come pre-installed with iMovie, and it’s compatible with more powerful video editing software, such as Premiere Pro

All you have to do is drop in your clips, trim them to size and add in built-in music, effects and animated titles. Nice extras include split-screen effects, 10 high-fidelity filters, green-screen effects and the ability to make Hollywood-style trailers.

As it’s Apple, you can switch between your devices with impunity, using AirDrop and iCloud Drive, to create your final cut.

Available for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

WeVideo

Thanks to WeVideo’s simplified interface, you don’t have to be Quentin Tarantino to create up to 4K movies. WeVideo put full control in your hands over all the creative elements, like text, transmissions and motion effects.

You can even let your imagination run wild with basic green screen special effects. Cloud storage lets you start your project on one device and pick up where you left off on another.

Plus, when you buy into one of their plans, you gain access to a vast library of licensed and royalty-free video clips, images and music tracks to add some extra gloss to your video.

Available for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows.
