Video editors

A video editor lets you cut clips, arrange them on a timeline, add titles, transitions and audio, and export the result in a chosen format. The apps below range from multitrack editors for longer projects to tools that trim footage or polish screen recordings.

Consider the formats you shoot in, whether you need multiple tracks and effects or just quick cuts, whether the app can trim without re-encoding, and which export presets it provides. Performance on long or high-resolution footage varies between editors.
