If your video life is on TikTok, its seamless integration makes this a no brainer. We were impressed by the number of tools at your disposal, including powerful ones like being able to remove the background, be it a green screen or not, great speed controls, a strong selection of audio tools, and impressive speech to text auto captioning. Building an edit is simple if you’ve any experience of mobile video editing, as the concept is pretty similar. The interface is clean and simple, although you can only work in your device’s portrait orientation. Ok, so it's free, but there is a ‘Pro’ option offering additional tools, transitions and effects on a subscription basis, but you’ll find those available for free are pretty powerful as they are. Easy to use, social-media friendly, there's a lot to like with this TikTok and Instagram video editing app. Read our full DaVinci Resolve for iPad reviewĭemands full access to your entire Photos library to access shortcutsĬapCut is a completely free video editing app that’s great for basic cuts. Introduce zoom-in gestures to the timeline, and it would be almost perfect. On the whole, we found this to be one of the best video editing apps for pros. Hooking up a keyboard and mouse to your tablet will grant you access to faster shortcuts, but you can easily work without them. The interface is a scaled down version of the desktop version (which is also free), and allows you to import footage, edit a project, add transitions, titles, effects, and colour grading, all with a very well designed touch-based interface. But the free version should be more than powerful enough for any editor and creator looking for a pro movie-making or YouTube video editing app. Sure, you can pay a one-off in-app purchase to get yourself even more advanced tools. That is, unless you grab yourself a copy of DaVinci Resolve for iPad. Finding one that offers all this for free, is almost impossible.
Finding one with professional-level tools is harder still. Finding a good video editing app for your iPad is hard.
