With video an increasingly integral part of social content plans, trimming and preening your vision so it’s looking its very best has never been more vital.

Happily, it’s also never been easier – as these three easy-to-use editing tools show.

1. KineMaster

Android users have the edge here with this powerful video editor.

KinemMaster works on both smartphones and tablets, giving users access to all the expected editing features, including more advanced options such as additional layers and special effects.

The only downside: KineMaster requires a  subscription rather than a one off purchase.

2. iMovie

iMovie is the go-to program for basic editing needs on iOS devices all the way up to 4K.

iMovie makes splicing footage a breeze, in addition to adding titles, music, voiceovers, and even stills to your video.

You can also choose from a range of TV and movie trailer templates if you want to have a bit of fun with your mobile movie masterpiece.

3. Pinnacle Studio Pro

If you’re looking to up your editing chops with something geared towards the higher end of town, Pinnacle Studio Pro is where it’s at.

This sophisticated program allows budding Hitchcocks to add all sorts of bells and whistles to their videos, including transitions, picture-in-picture effects, and zooms.

And it's all available to power straight from your iPad.
