Post Production - Video editing apps

Here are some apps for editing your video

Android: FilmoraGo. Powerful, but quite simple editing software for Android. Some in-app purchases, but most of the main editing features are free.

iOS: iMovie. A tried and tested app. You can shoot, edit and upload all from the same app. Lots of features, easy to use and free.

MacOS: iMovie (again). Free software, simple to use, lots of powerful features and many years of community support behind it.

Windows 7/8:Windows is awash with not brilliant free editing apps. Windows Movie Maker was once the standard, but it has been phased out and replaced with ‘Windows Photo’ (Windows 10 only). Windows Photo is similar to Movie Maker, in that it is quite logical and easy to use, but lacks power features. A more advanced alternative is an open source editor called ‘Shotcut’. It is free, very powerful, but has a bit of a learning curve.

Southampton University have put together a YouTube Playlist of already existing videos that give an outline of some of the free editing software out there.
