5 Best Video Editing Apps For The iPhone

The iPhone is all the rage these days and shows no signs of slowing down in popularity despite the heavy competition entering the arena. With that in mind, there's no doubt that the top apps are going to be those designed with the iPhone and iPad users in mind. The other thing that's a given in the day and age of social media, networking, and sharing is the great need for video editing software on any smart phone. Below you will find five of the best video editing apps you're going to find for the iPhone in today's market place.

iMovie

This fun video editing app allows users to use either the front or rear camera on their iPhones (or other i-devices) to edit video footage on a frame by frame basis. You can also get through larger amounts of video footage with a simple swipe of your finger or by dragging footage across the timeline. There are several themes users can choose from with iMovie and you're even allowed to switch themes in the middle of an edit. Waveforms from the soundtrack show up on the screen so that syncing the video to the soundtrack is easier than ever before. Don't let the $4.99 price tag fool you. iMovie is a solid investment for anyone that's serious about creating and editing videos on an iPhone.

iSupr8

This is the perfect video editing app for iPhone users interested in adding a vintage look to their videos. There are tons of popular programs out there that create "vintage" looking photographs. iSupr8 does for video what Instagram did for photographs. It takes modern video and gives it a vintage or "antiqued" feel that's a lot of fun to work with and view.

Splice

iMovie may be the big name to know when it comes to video editing apps for the iPhone because it's so easy to use. That simplicity, however, comes with a price tag. One price of that is the fact that it lacks some of the rich features that people look for when buying video editing software and/or apps. Splice makes up for all the features sorely missing in iMovie and then adds a few of its very own. What could be better? How about the price? Splice is free in the iTunes store whereas iMovie is almost five dollars.

Reel Director

The great thing about Reel Director is that you don't have to be a real movie director in order to find your way around this handy video editing app for the iPhone. But, at the end of the day, you just might feel like a real movie director when you use this app to edit your movie, add credits, or even to create transitions from one scene to the next. The two dollar price tag makes it a movie-making steal of a deal that's well worth trying on for size.

Socialcam

Socialcam is often referred to as the Instagram' of video. It is one of the most popular video editing apps available for the iPhone for a good reason. It's simple to use. Users don't have to have a large amount of technical knowledge in order to make it work for them, and they have a lot of fun with it. Most importantly, for the masses it seems, it's free in the iTunes app store. That being said, the ease of use and free price carry a price of their own. This particular video editing app doesn't offer the rich features or smoking hot tools that other apps make available.

Regardless of what you're looking to do with the videos you create, these five video editing apps for iPhones can help you get started on the right foot. Who knows? You might just discover the artist within you once you put these great apps to work for your video creation and editing efforts.
