  • Most of the video editing apps have specific requirement for the hardware. So you can't use the video editors on the hardware with limited RAM and the video display RAM. Depending on those limits the choice of app that you can run on Windows (or on any operating system will vary).

    1. Sony Vegas Video : This app from Sony is one of the popular for professional video editing. It can be used to add some of the complexity into the videos. You can also use in built audio editor to add some audio effects too. The app is expensive. And you are forced to buy plugins for mp4 and mp3 exports. So overall the cost gets higher. I have used this app for YouTube. The resolution of the exported videos and the video quality is retained.

    You have to take the video from phone to desktop to use this app. I recommend this app because of the video export quality.

    Platform : Windows/Mac

    2. Techsmith Fuse This editor app is designed for the mobile devices think of it as an extension to the desktop recording app. The software allows you to export the video in number of file types. The HD MP4 and the DVD exports are the common exports of the app. The editor also has an option to add text effects. You can also include noise removal and few other effects. It has video zooming option that makes it very easy for you to zoom into the content.

    Platform : Android

    3. Video Maker Pro Free : The app is very extensive in the range of features it is offering. It has some of the most important editing features like split, merge and zoom. Most of the features are available on the free version of the app. However the paid version seems to get rid of ads and adds few more premium options. The interface of the app is very simple and you can easily learn the app within few minutes.

    Platform : Android

    4. KineMaster Pro : The app is more focused towards the video editing professionals who like to have more control. It has an option to merge and split the frames. Most of the video effects with free version are limited. You do get the frames and transition effects too. If you're not paying for the advanced version then ad supported version is good enough for casual usage. Only issue with the app is currently it has device specific support within the android platform. So if you have a tablet then perhaps you can use this app for the video editing requirements.

    Platform : Android

    5. WeVideo : The app offers professional video editing features. It has both free and paid version. In case of paid version you get to remove the watermark at cost 4$ per month. Free app with exported video has watermark. The app is very easy to use and the functionality allows you to export video in different formats. If you compare the features with other premium app then you may find that features are limited. However the app is good enough for the users who are not tech savvy.

    Platform : Android

    6. Lightworks : This editor is free of cost but the type of features that are in offer you may find it most competitive free video editor. It has support for wide range of file formats. And you can find that the app also has option for various video effects. You can add audio effects into the videos too. The user interface is a bit cluttered and takes time to get used to. I'd suggest to use this one when you can't afford any other expensive video editor in the market.

    Platform : Cross Platform

    7. Wax The editor is more suitable for the people who are not into video editing. So you have not much of a learning curve here. And you can design small videos very easily. It has most of the common features for the video editing. If you want to do the video editing in more professional way then you may find some issues with limited features. In such case use other video editors. The app is released free of cost and you can easily get started with the editing.

    Platform : Windows

    Note: There are many paid apps out there which are focused on professional video editing. If you are ready to spend some money then you can easily get the premium features and output from the app. I suggest start with the free apps for now and depending on how much professional output you want, you can buy premium version.
