Most major social media platforms have decent built-in video editors that can trim clips, add filters, and apply text overlays. In many cases, these tools are also essential for adding interactive stickers and platform-approved audio tracks. Yet using them exclusively can limit your creative range and slow your account growth.

When editing videos, it's a good idea to add third-party apps to your workflow when you want to explore new creative tools like effects and AI, improve your account's video performance trends, stand out amidst a lot of similar content, and rely on a single app that can create videos for all platforms

So how can you choose the best video editing app for your team? Here are four factors to consider:

  1. Capabilities: What should your ideal video editing app do? Have a huge range of effects? Offer practical tools like text-to-speech? Provide AI tools to speed up production?
  2. Collaboration: Look for an app that supports multiple users or allows easy sharing outside the app to easily work alongside team members or share content with clients.
  3. Operating system: Prefer to edit videos on desktop? Want to do all of your editing with a mobile app? Make sure the app you choose fits your workflow.
  4. Cost: All tools in the list below have a no-cost plan so you can start using them. But some are very limited unless you subscribe to a paid plan. Make sure the app you choose either fits your budget or works well enough on a free plan.

To explore 11 tools for editing video, read the full article.
