InShot

InShot is a mobile-first video editor that lets you quickly edit clips for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. It handles the basics—trimming, cutting, and merging videos—but also packs in a lot of extras. You can add music from its library, overlay text and stickers, apply filters, and use transitions to make your videos look more polished. It’s built for speed and simplicity, so you don’t need to be a professional editor to get results.

What makes InShot stand out is its focus on features social media creators use daily. It has an auto-caption tool that generates subtitles in multiple languages, which is a huge time-saver. The app also offers a wide array of visual effects, including AI-powered ones, 3D edits, and trendy transitions like ‘ripped paper’ or ‘shake.’ There’s a ‘Materials Library’ with intros, outros, and green screen options, and you can even do picture-in-picture editing.

This tool is perfect for social media managers, influencers, small business owners promoting products, or anyone who wants to make fun, engaging videos for friends and family. User reviews highlight its use for creating TikTok edits, YouTube vlogs, promotional clips for small businesses, and family photo collages. Its free version is quite capable, making it a popular starting point for new creators.
