Best video editing apps for Android and iOS

Basic video editing when on the go and without a laptop, can also be done on a smartphone. However, selecting an app from the plethora of available options can be a daunting task. While there are some apps that are powerful enough to handle multiple timelines, effects and transitions, these can prove difficult to use. On the other end of the spectrum, there are apps that can pump edited videos automatically with a few taps and tweaks. It can thus be difficult to choose an app that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and usability. To make this easier, here’s our list of some of the best video editing apps to try out on your Android and iOS running devices. Adobe Premiere Clip Adobe has a solution for editing videos on phones and it offers the general range of tools to do so. One can also automatically create videos by simply choosing a soundtrack and adding images to the mix or edit a video from the ground up. There’s a range of adjustments, transitions and effects to choose from. However, the best thing in our opinion is the ability to easily open an exported clip in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, in case one needs to polish the video further. Download Adobe Premiere Clip for Android and iOS KineMaster Pro KineMaster Pro is one of the most powerful video editing apps available on mobile devices. However, to unlock its full potential, users need to shell out some money. The app supports multiple layers of images, video, and text. Alongside basic cutting and trimming of videos, one will also be able to play around with multi-track audio, color LUT filters, 3D transitions, and more. Download KineMaster Pro for Android and iOS FilmoraGo FilmoraGo is a relatively lesser known app that is quite capable when it comes to video editing. It offers basic features like cut, trim, and render, along with some additional options like editing videos in a 1:1 square format for Instagram and 16:9 videos for YouTube. There’s also support for adding transitions, overlays, music, and more. The app is free to download with in-app purchases but even the free version, there is no watermark or time limit on exported videos and most of the features are free. Download FilmoraGo for Android and iOS VivaVideo While VivaVideo is categorised under video editing apps, it is more of a jack of all trades with image editing and some automated editing thrown in. It’s good when editing short videos for social media platforms and it enables users to load clips into a storyboard style. This means that one has to work on an imported clip and edit it, then move on to the next task. There are many additional features like filters, effects, text addition and tweaking speed of a video. It has a free version that will add watermark and impose a time limit to edited videos but there’s an option to pay and unlock pro features in the app. Download VivaVideo for Android and iOS Quik One doesn’t always need a complex video editing app to get the job done. Quik is a simple solution that enables a user to simply import some images and videos, and create a video out of it. The app automatically adds transition and effects to the background music, which can either be imported or selected from more than 100 already available free tracks. As GoPro is the apps’ developer, its original intent is to pull data from a compatible GoPro device and instantly create a video out of them. However, the formula also works well for someone who isn't well versed with video editing and doesn’t want to spend too much time on the process. Download Quik for Android and iOS PowerDirector (Android only) Only available for Android and Windows phone, PowerDirector by Cyberlink comes with a slew of features and options to assist in video editing. Alongside multiple track timeline, video effects, slow motion, reverse video and many more features, it is one of the rare apps to supports editing 4k videos. The app is even better on large screen devices like tablets, however, one will need to unlock additional features of the app. Download PowerDirector for Android Splice - Video Editor + Movie Maker by GoPro (iOS only) Splice is another app made by the GoPro team but this one is only available on iOS. Same as Quik, the app can be used to import videos and photos that get converted to videos automatically. One can also trim clips, adjust transitions, add slow-motion effects and do more with the app. It supports addition of title slides, text overlays and a custom outro as well, along with adjusting playback speed for fast or slow motion. Download Splice for iOS

11 charged for selling Samsungs bendable display technology to Chinese rivals

Prosecutors in South Korea have charged 11 people for illegally selling Samsung’s bendable screen technology to a Chinese rival company. According to Bloomberg, the CEO of Samsung supplier Toptec, and eight of his employees had received 15.5 billion won (approx $13.8 million) for conspiring and transferring information regarding organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. Samsung uses OLED panels in its phones, televisions and monitors. The two others were from the Chinese company with whom they hatched the conspiracy. Bloomberg says that intellectual property theft is a national concern for South Korea and the country is spending billions for becoming self-sustaining in areas such as memory chips and displays, two fields where Samsung is the world leader. On the revelation, Samsung Display said it was “shocked at the results of the investigation by prosecutors, at a time when competitors are intensifying their technological rivalry.” Samsung said that it would keep a close eye on the trial. Citing prosecutors, the report noted that the South Korean supplier transferred “3D lamination” technology and other equipment to the Chinese screen maker between May and August, violating a non-disclosure agreement with Samsung. They were caught while loading additional pieces onto a ship headed for the mainland. Another report says that Samsung’s display technology is considered a “national core technology” under South Korean law, making the offense graver. What’s more, one of the accused was said to be using a fake company headed by his sister-in-law to cover up the espionage. Reportedly, Samsung spent about 150 billion won over a period of six years to develop the OLED technology. Meanwhile, Toptec has issued a statement denying the charges. “Our company has never provided Samsung Display’s industrial technology or business secrets to a Chinese client. Our company will fully cooperate with legal proceedings to find the truth in court,” the company was quoted as saying. This is not the first time that such an incident has occured in the technology world. Earlier this year, Anthony Levandowski, a former Google employee and the engineer behind the company's self-driving car programme was fired from Uber after he was accussed of stealing autonomous car technology from Waymo (a subsidiary of Google's parent Alphabet) before joining Uber. Levandowski reportedly downloaded around 14,000 files from his company-issued computer containing trade secrets related to Waymo's LIDAR technology, circuit board designs, and testing documentation.

Motorola G7 Power might feature 5000mAh battery, run on Android 9 Pie out-of-the box

Motorola generally releases three phones under its G series where the Play and Plus variants represent devices with less or more powerful hardware, while the one without any moniker bridges the gap between the two. This time, the smartphone manufacturer could be introducing a new model as the Motorola G7 Power, which might sit somewhere between the G7 and the G7 Plus variants. XDA Developers report that the Motorola G7 Power has now appeared on FCC. An image revealing the dimensions of the phone has also leaked out, along with some additional information like the device’s rear design and connectivity options.  As per the report, the Motorola G7 Power sports the model number XT1955-4 and it might come equipped with a large 5000mAh battery. This doesn’t seem far-fetched since the company’s recently launched Motorola One Power also features a 5000mAh battery. In terms of dimensions, the device is said to measure 159 mm x 76 mm and 167 mm (6.5-inch) diagonally. While there are no more specifications listed on the FCC website, XDA Developers report that the Motorola G7 Power could be launched running on the Snapdragon 632 SoC, which recently debuted with the Realme U1.  The Snapdragon 632 SoC is fabricated using a 14nm process. It features Kryo 250 semi-custom CPU cores with four Cortex-A73 performance cores and four Cortex-A53 efficiency cores. The smartphone is said to come with up to 4GB RAM, along with up to 64GB of internal storage models. In terms of optics, the handset could come equipped with a single 12MP camera on the rear with f/2.0 aperture and on the front, it is said to feature an 8MP front-facing sensor with f/2.2 aperture. The camera app on the phone might borrow the Cinemagraph mode from Moto Z3 Play, and additionally come with features like spot colouring, bokeh shots with the single rear camera and more. The handset could be launched running on Android 9 Pie, however, unlike the Motorola One Power, it’s not said to be an Android One device.
