3 Must-Have Photo & Video Editing Apps for Social Media Marketing

Photo and video editing apps have become something essential on our smartphones. If you just got the new iPhone X (Apple fan here ><), you can change it to a little photo studio in your pocket. You will be surprised to find out many free apps created by various mobile application development companies just for people like you and me.

Judging from the large number of choices, picking the right one will definitely give you an upper hand in photo and video editing and gaining more engagement to your page.

In my opinion, these are the best apps that you should consider downloading.

Legend

Uncomplicated, easy and straightforward.  

Preloaded text is where you start at first, it can be removed later and you may write up to 100 characters. You may pick your text animation style right after that.

Alternatively, background image or video can be added. When you are good to go, just tap the next button and BOOM, in just a few seconds your GIF or video is ready to be shared to your friends.

Not only that, those videos are very suitable for advertisement in social media platform.

Cons:

– Indecisive on options

Quik

Make good short videos really fast.

If you are familiar with iMovie, these 2 are actually not the same at all. The reason we compare them? Because it doesn’t require you to manually edit, even if you know how to do it. It is meant for users who often don’t have TIME to do casual videos.

Moreover, it works best with your GoPro action cam. Just trim your video clips and frame photos and reorder it. Lastly, type the captions or titles of you own. Quik will alter it slightly in order to achieve the result if you have set a custom duration.

** This app also comes with over 80 free songs to choose from or you could just select the song you want from your iTunes library.

– Upload all videos or images, and it automatically (algorithmically) generates a video for you
– Able to do adjustment

Cons:

– App crash many, many times (personal experience)

Over

Over has included thousands of graphics like overlays, illustrations, backgrounds and more. What if you do not have a photo? No worries as Over has daily fresh images which are free to use because it partners with two of the best sources of photos from around the world.
