Modern smartphones have become more than just communicating devices. With the enhancements in camera and capturing technology, smartphones have entirely demolished the digital cameras and recorders industry. Many videographers, ad-film makers, and short filmmakers are using easy-to-carry phones for shooting their pieces.

Shooting is just one part of producing a video. Though it requires an excellent camera quality to shoot a video, a video can be made flawless even if it is not shot by a relatively good camera. To make the video lively and attractive for mass appeal, it requires a few tweaks and tricks. This magic is done by video editing professionals who use video editing software.

For editing the video shot on their phone, most people transfer the videos on their PC or Mac and edit using a professional Windows or macOS video editing software. However, now users need not take so much stress. Many excellent video editing apps are now available for Android and iOS that would create impeccable videos for you.

This post compares the two most popular video editing apps available for smartphones – Movavi Clips and Kinemaster. We would discuss their features, Pros & Cons, and finally, decide which one is better than the other.

The video is ready to show, save, and share. 

To make the video livelier, a wide range of filters and themes are available to apply. So, even if your video is not shot perfectly, the end result after the editing would be great. For a more detailed video, Movavi Clips provides you the option to add subtitles and other unconventional features.

As far as features are concerned, it supports multiple video layers, splicing frames, transition effects, and many more. However, with it, you only get a 30-day free trial with all its functions; after that, it would still be available but with limited options and watermarked video, or you have to buy it on a monthly or yearly subscription basis.

Verdict

Movavi Clips and KineMaster, both are top-rated among users because of their outstanding features. Both are intuitive and fit for instant editing. But KineMaster can be challenging to use if you are a newbie in the video editing field. You might find some options overwhelming to implement. That’s why Movavi Clips has a little edge over the KineMaster. 

The best thing is, since they are both available for free, you can try each of them by yourself, compare the pros and cons as per your requirements, and chose the one that best suits you.
