I find the interface more intuitive than the mobile version of iMovie, and the Android version also works well. You can even add beat markers to edit to the rhythm of music, and keyframes for adjusting effects. Unlike most free editors, you don’t need to pay extra to remove a watermark. VN Editor is an impressive free editor that works on most recent iOS and Android devices (there’s also a Mac version).

Free editor for Android and iOS: VN Video Editor The iPad version (left) has a precision editor and audio waveforms which are missing from the iPhone version. My major gripe is that it automatically adds dissolves between clips, which you have to remove. The most recent version has chromakey (green/blue screen) and a much wider choice of soundtracks. It’s easy to use, but more limited than the desktop version. The iOS version of iMovie is free with iPads and iPhones. So you could film on your phone and AirDrop it to your iPad for editing (though not all iPads can handle 4K and ultra slow motion). IPhones are usually better for filming, but iPads have more screen space for editing. To edit 4K or 10-bit footage you’ll need the $300/£239 Studio version, which is included when you buy a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. But it’s complex and you’ll need a powerful computer. It’s particularly good for colour correction.

If you’re looking for a free pro editing program for PC or Mac, you could choose BlackMagic’s Da Vinci Resolve. There’s also a more basic version, Premiere Elements, which you buy outright ($99/£87). It integrates well with other CC apps, including Adobe Audition which is extremely effective for removing continuous background noise.

It’s a good choice if you, or your college or business, already subscribe to Creative Cloud. It’s only available on subscription, either as part of Adobe Creative Cloud (around $53/£50 a month, or $20/£16 for students and educators) or as a single app ($21/£20 a month). Experienced editors may prefer its more conventional interface, particularly for creating movies with complex soundtracks. It’s powerful but less user-friendly than Final Cut Pro. Premiere is one of the most popular pro PC and Mac editing apps. Pro editing for PC or Mac: Adobe Premiere Pro CC It’s a good alternative to Premiere if you already have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. If not, it’s $10/£10 a month on its own, with 100Gb of cloud storage included. Designed for YouTubers and vloggers, it’s more user-friendly than Adobe Premiere (below), but has multiple audio and video tracks. Unlike the other programs here, Adobe Premiere Rush comes in PC, Mac, iOS and Android versions. Easy editing for Mac, PC and mobile: Premiere Rush Students and teachers can get it bundled with other Apple creative apps (Logic, Motion, Compressor and MainStage) at a big discount. One advantage over Adobe Premiere is that it’s a one-off ($299/£299) purchase with free upgrades, rather than a monthly subscription. If you’ve edited with other pro apps you may find the trackless ‘magnetic timeline’ unfamiliar at first, but it’s really quick and efficient once you’re used to it. It’s the obvious next step up from iMovie as the interface is similar.

It’s powerful and fast, with a full range of professional features, but it’s relatively easy to learn: I’ve taught twelve-year-olds to edit with it. You can also import project files made with the iPhone/iPad version. Best for beginners: iMovie (Mac)Īpple’s own iMovie is easy to learn and use, but it offers a surprising degree of creative control for a free program. The pro programs (Final Cut Pro X, Premiere and Resolve) give you the option of many more video and audio tracks, and let you make precise adjustments and corrections.

All the programs here will allow you to add cutaways (a second video track, so the image changes but the sound stays the same) adjust audio levels, and use extra audio tracks. You can get simpler editing programs than these, but they’re limited. Which video editing program should you use? And should you consider editing on your phone?
