10 Best Video Editing Apps in 2022 (Adobe Premiere Rush, iMovie, and More)

With Premiere Rush, you can either record video directly within the app or import already recorded videos. The app is perfect for social media posting as you can export directly from the app to social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

Some reviewers had issues with the app crashing or the video preview function lagging. However, many reviewers are thrilled that Adobe listens to customer feedback and has often added useful features in updated versions. 

Reviewers especially like the wide variety of text options and the ability to color correct videos. Also singled out for praise are the audio options, as Premiere Rush allows you to add voiceovers and crossfades. 

A 100GB of cloud storage to save your projects is included with a monthly subscription! If you just want to try this app out, the free version allows you to export three completed videos.

InShot is a straightforward app with a good library of music, stickers, and filters for use, even in the free version of the app. The free version of InShot does have a watermark, but it is small and easy to ignore. 

For $2.99, both the watermark and adverts can be removed from the app. Additional stickers can be bought for $0.99 per pack, and there is also a yearly subscription that gives you full access.

Reviewers particularly like using InShot for making collages from a group of photos or videos. They also enjoy that it intuitively creates videos from the selected media. 

They also praise the choice of music that can be used when producing videos of any kind. InShot is particularly good for videos with music or ones optimized for Instagram.

FilmoraGo's free version has more options and functions that most other apps. There is a library of effects and music, but you can expand it further through several in-app purchases that start from $0.99. 

FilmoraGo's main strength is its flexibility. As well as monthly subscriptions, users have the option of not only buying packs of effects but can also pay a one-off fee to remove the watermark from all future videos.

Reviewers praise the amount of functionality and options on the free app, although some people do criticize the number of transitions available. The layout is also appreciated, with many reviewers commenting on how easy it is to use.

KineMaster's strength is its ability to layer multiple elements, such as videos, images, stickers, and handwriting. With the free version of the app, each video will have a watermark on it. If you upgrade to premium, they remove the watermark, and you gain access to a library of assets to use in your videos.

Some reviewers had issues with glitches or problems with video playback, but it seems that recent updates of the app have addressed those problems. 

Reviewers comment on how easy it is to use the app and the clean layout. People who produce videos for YouTube in particular like this app, especially the multiple layers that KineMaster allows editors to use and the ability to edit audio.

Quik is an entirely free app that quickly produces short and slick videos. It's easy to use, as Quik assesses the contents of the media, selects the best moments, and sets it to music. 

If you want more control over your videos, you can make edits to the initial results Quik produces. Quik works exceptionally well with videos taken with GoPros but is also compatible with media taken with smartphones. 

Reviewers love how easy it is to create a video in the app and praise the app for how it picks the best moments. They also compliment the ability to quickly change templates and how the app reacts to these changes, producing another video with ease.

Quik is the perfect app for people who don't have the time or patience to spend a long time editing videos.

iMovie has fewer features than most of the other apps on this list, but it is also completely free. As it's an Apple product, it comes pre-installed on devices that run iOS. 

With iMovie, you can use a green screen and add sound effects to your videos. If you have other Apple products, you can use cloud storage to switch between platforms to edit the same video as well.

If you want a simple and straightforward video editing app, then iMovie is a good option. However, some reviewers found it to be too simple and wished for more editing options.

The trailers feature is particularly popular with reviewers, as it allows you to make fun videos through a series of preset templates quickly. They comment on how easy it is to use and praise the effects and title screens.

Splice has a sleek layout that is easy to navigate.  It's easy to add subtitles to your video or to sync the video to a soundtrack. 

The free version of the app doesn't have a permanent watermark, but it limits how many videos you can save. The paid version of the app is via subscription, either monthly or annually, and there is the option of a free trial first.

Reviewers single out the audio capabilities of Splice, as it has multi-track audio and comes with a library of music and sound effects that can be used. However, some reviewers wish that the music provided was longer. They recommend Splice for shorter videos.

Reviewers also love the effects included with Splice and single out the ease that the Ken Burns effect can be applied to photos.

Magisto is another app that will automatically produce a video from the photos and videos you choose. There are a variety of themes to choose from, such as a wedding, birthday, or memory, to make your personal videos easy to produce. 

Magisto is also good for professional use and has a subscription plan for businesses that includes more business-orientated images and themes, as well as a subscription to Vimeo Business. However, reviewers warn that if you really want to fine-tune your videos, you may want to choose an app that allows for more advanced editing.

Reviewers like how quick and easy it is to produce a video using Magisto. They especially praise how Magisto clips the important parts of the source videos and adds appropriate music. Many business users comment on how quick and easy it is to make professional videos that help promote their brand.

Clips is another completely free app from Apple for iPhone users. It has a different focus compared to iMovie, as it is geared more towards social media and younger users. This is a fun app for social media that is easy to use.

Reviewers praise its simple interface and ease of use. However, some users have had problems successfully updating the app itself.

There are multiple stickers and filters available, and users especially like the licensed stickers from properties like Star Wars and Toy Story. The speech to text filter also receives individual praise.

LumaFusion is geared towards professional users, such as journalists and directors. The app has more features than any other on this list, such as six-track audio and video, various visual effects, and several frame rates to choose from.

Users of this app say they are impressed with the number of options. Some say that getting to grips with the app takes a few attempts, but also compliment the library of tutorials provided within the app. 

The lack of a free or trial version makes this app a bit of gamble, but it's one that many users consider worth it.
