Having incredible photos and videos is crucial to a booming social media account. Luckily for you, it’s never been easier to create stunning content like a pro (without being one).
Here are our top four user-friendly photo and video editing apps.
Photos:
The ultimate software that allows you to edit, manage and share your photos securely. Lightroom by Adobe offers tutorials and a large bandwidth of storage space. Offering a free week’s trial, you can get a feel for the software before locking it in for a monthly or yearly subscription. Lightroom encourages users to upload their purchased or downloaded colour presets to completely transform photos.
VSCO is a creative channel which provides users with the tools to edit their photos, as well as a whole range of beautiful filters for your photos. The platform duals as a part-social media platform, where people share and express their creativity through sharing their images with the VSCO public. Only downloadable from the app store, the app is free for the public to use basic features. We recommend purchasing the yearly subscription for $19.99 per year, which unlocks more filters, editing options and the opportunity to run your videos through your favourite filters.
On. Brand. Content.
Calling all e-commerce businesses! 📣 Placeit is perfect for businesses with products; t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, tote bags, hats, packaging and more. Mock-up your garments in different scenarios, with different models or people, placed in different settings. For $29 monthly, you can download an unlimited number of customised images.
Another highly rated photo editing app available for both iOS and Android. Afterlight is as powerful or simple as you want it to be. Perfect for beginners, Afterlight allows for you to choose between available filters and export to your camera roll. Once you get the hang of it, create and save a custom filter yourself to go back and use each time it’s time for an edit!
Videos:
The alpha-editing tool. Adobe Premiere Pro is fairly intuitive – though likely the most complex of the batch. Timeline based; the app is geared towards more professional work. If you know how to use it, Premiere can fulfil almost any video requirement. Offering a free 7-day trial, you can learn your way around the software and see if it’s something you’d continue to use. Single memberships for Premiere Pro cost $29.99/mo.
Extremely similar to Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro is the Apple-exclusive video editing software. When it comes to render time, Final Cut Pro comes out on top with an arguably easier to use interface. If you are a mac operator, this software is compatibly designed – meaning things will run kindly on the battery life.
If you are a beginner at video editing, this is the tool for you. Super user-friendly, iMovie isn’t cluttered with fancy features and tools and language you don’t understand. Allowing you to be creative still, you are able to import a mix of videos, photos, music alongside their database of free-to-use sound effects. iMovie is free for those using apple products; available for iPhones and as a computer software.
A simple, user-friendly and powerful app that allows users to “splice” together their video clips and export it as a video. Splice features text overlays, transitions and music to be added to the clips. It’s simple, but effective.
