The Android operating smartphone is one of the best, no doubt. One of the reasons why we love this operating system is the high customizability.
There are no video editing apps for Android by default. This means, to make some touches to your video, you either get the sophisticated equipment required for high productions or customize your highly customizable Android phone and make it do all the work for you.
I know the first option won’t be considerable if you only wanted to trim out some privacy details from a sixty seconds video. In such a situation, it would be considered wiser to leverage the Android phone.
To make your Android phone do the editing work for you, you need a good app with enough features that would get your work covered.
Some people would get off here and jump onto Google Play, type in “Video Editor”, download every crap they find. They later come to Google again, searching: “best video editing apps for Android.”
However, I know you’re a ninja and you’re not going to do that. Instead, you’d wait patiently, finish this article and stay in the know. In the end, you’ll drop a video you edited yourself in the comments, using one of the apps I listed.

VivaVideo
VivaVideo is one video editing app on Android that I actually use. It is built to enable you to create a video story (as they call it).
It has a lot of features that are sure to help you create that professional video without paying someone on Fiverr.
It gives you access to the most essential features of video design which include, trimming, merging, cutting, etc. it also has thousands of templates that you can base your entire video on.
The video collage maker feature gives you the ability to merge different videos into a new video. This is a very helpful feature and I tend to love the way this app simplifies the whole process.
It also features a slow-motion video editor which works great. The over 200 million user base is an indication that you are very unlikely to encounter any problems while using this app. You’ll always find someone to help you out before you can even find one.
If you ever tried out the MusicLens feature, you’ll surely get addicted to it. It allows you to play a piece of music in the background while the video plays on. When you playback the video, the music plays as the events happen in the video, like you had a recorder beside you.
In summary, VivaVideo is one editing app you should definitely try if not for the simplicity, then for the numerous features.

KineMaster
KineMaster is the nearest thing to VivaVideo amongst the video editing apps for Android.
Like most Android apps, its simplicity is unmatchable. It also comprises of numerous features and keeps you over the whole process of making the video, without leaving you confused.
The main reason why I use this app is due to the ability to add subtitles to videos. It comes handy when you’re trying to translate a piece of video content. It is more understandable when it is added as a subtitle.
KineMaster boasts of some really professional features like volume control and merging images into a video. It also employs the drag-and-drop technique to make the whole process a whole lot easier.
If VivaVideo is insufficient for some reason, KineMaster comes as the next viable alternative.
