Engadget Logo Recommended for Japanese version of Engadget TikTok and YouTube short videos, 3 short movie editing smartphone apps

Hello everyone, this is Kosai.

In recent years, video content has become commonplace on SNS and websites, but recently, the "short movie platform" is spreading rapidly, isn't it?

More and more people are publishing short movies on Instagram reels, including TikTok, and more recently on YouTube.

I've been addicted to making short movies lately, so this time I'd like to introduce you to the best video editing apps for TikTok and Lille! 😊

We chose the app with the highest priority on ease of use, so if you are new to video editing, please refer to it!

Let's go.

"MoShow" that allows you to easily create stylish and cool short videos

It is an application that you can make a stylishly edited short video (slide show) just by selecting the photo or video you want to use and selecting the theme you like.

■ Main functions

Change screen ratio, crop / duplicate / delete / sort images, BGM, fade in / out of BGM, more than 50 kinds of themes (effects) etc.

There are no functions such as color tone correction and video cut. If you want to do such editing, it is recommended to edit it with another application and then import it into MoShow. However, you can add effect processing just by selecting the theme, so even if you use unprocessed photos and videos, you will get a work that looks good enough.

This app is perfect for those who want to create fashionable short videos in no time.

You can choose more than 50 themes and more than 70 BGMs for free. You can also use the songs on your device from "My Music" ♪

Unfortunately, there is a time limit for videos. The free version can only save videos within 30 seconds. To save longer videos, you need to pay 680 yen a month or 4,000 yen a year.

It has abundant functions and a high degree of freedom! "VLLO"

As I introduced in the article on video editing apps before, VLLO is attractive because it can be operated intuitively even by an amateur, and above all, it has abundant functions and a high degree of freedom.

■ Main functions

Change screen ratio, trimming, video cut, split, speed adjustment, reverse playback, duplication, inversion, background selection, conversion effect, BGM, sound effect, dubbing, volume control, audio and BGM fade in / out, text Introductory, text animation, subtitles, font changes, over 1000 stickers, templates, filters, effects, overlay photos in videos etc.

The abundance of functions is the appeal of VLLO, but when it comes to short videos, I don't think they will be edited as elaborately as ordinary videos. Therefore, what I would like you to pay attention to this time is not the functionality, but the variety of BGM and sound effects! We have everything from cute songs to cool songs without being biased toward a certain genre, and you will surely find the song you imagined!

Unfortunately, you can't adjust the brightness and saturation without paying. The paid version requires a monthly charge of 450 yen, an annual charge of 880 yen, and a premium purchase (purchase) of 2,820 yen.

The paid version has more types of BGM, and you will be able to select more than 170 types of songs. There are more types of subtitles and stickers, and the functions are even more complete, so it's worth the purchase.

I have a premium purchase and I use VLLO on a regular basis 😉

Outstanding ease of use! "In Shot"

Like VLLO, InShot can be operated intuitively and is a very easy-to-use app. It has enough functions for short video production.

■ Main functions

Change screen ratio, trimming, video cut, split, speed adjustment, reverse playback, duplication, inversion, background selection, conversion effect, BGM, sound effect, dubbing, volume control, BGM fade in / out, text introduction, Text animation, font change, stickers, color correction, filters, effects etc.

The ease of cropping the image is superior to that of VLLO, and it is also a nice point to be able to perform color tone correction free of charge, which cannot be done without charging with VLLO.

And with the update, we've added a back / forward button that wasn't there before, making it easier than ever to use.

It is inferior to VLLO in terms of functions and BGM, but it is no exaggeration to say that it is No. 1 in ease of use in short video production!

These are my 3 recommended short video editing apps! 😊

For those who want to be stylish or want to make cool videos easily, edit with "MoShow", for others, edit with "InShot", and if you can not find the song you like, finally use "VLLO" to edit the song. Adding is the best way for me!

Please make an original short video and share it on SNS 😉✨

By the way, it's Halloween soon 🎃👻
