Apps like iMovie for Android and iPhone

Apps like iMovie for Android and iPhone

Apple's iMovie is part of the iLife apps group that is a signature feature of iOS — iPhoto (now integrated __with the Photo app), Garage Band, and iMovie allow users to create quality artistic projects __with minimal effort. There's nothing cooler than feeding your clips and pictures in an app, dragging things around a user-friendly interface, and coming up with a pretty clip in less than an hour.

With simplicity, however, come some restrictions. So, you might want to look at different apps to compile parts of your videos, without them being necessarily more complicated or harder to use than iMovie. Or, if you happen to be on Android, you may still be on the lookout for similar apps. Well, we got 5 for you that are worth checking out!

Price: free (Premium segments)
Android | iOS

FilmoraGo makes it super-easy to put a video together from a bunch of clips and photos in your album. Adding transitions between clips is easy and you've got themes that do the fancy title placement for you. The app starts out pretty bare bones in terms of themes, overlays, music, and transitions, but has a built-in store for you to buy more (or download free ones). There's no pesky watermark to remove, so you can use the app for no money.

Price: free (Premium subscription)
Android | iOS

WeVideo is super-simple — almost too simple. Just pick out your clips, trim them and arrange them. Then, pick a theme and punch in the video's title. The app will do the rest, transitions included. Well, you can cherry-pick the soundtrack, add voiceover, and balance sound sources if you dig a bit deeper. Unfortunately, the free version is kind of barebones and slaps a watermark on your final video. To unlock everything, you need to go Premium for $3.99 per year.

Kinemaster's UI is a bit heavier, and may look a bit too complicated at first. In fact, however, using the app's basic features — arranging clips and slapping a theme with title and transitions over them is quite easy. From then on, if you desire to go into sound effects and layers, it's a matter of spending a bit of time to get used to the app's kind of weird layout, which actually happens to work great with a smartphone's touch input. Again, the app is pretty barebones on download and will add a watermark. Its store has some free content, but most is locked behind a Premium subscription, which is a bit hefty — $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.

Price: free

Alive is super-light on transitions and themes... as in – it offers none. However, you can still stitch clips together, and you can plaster moving animations on top of them, which has its special appliance for some videos. No watermarks or anything, so you can download this one for free and keep it on your phone for when you want to add an animated explosion to your personal action clip.

Magisto is pretty cool since it uses an AI script to slice up and arrange your clips and photos into an automatically-currated video. That's the most “set it and forget it” app out there — just pick a theme and a music, use a slider to tell it how long the final video should be, and let it do it's thing in the background. On the free version, you are a bit limited in length and amount of photos you can add, and a Premium subscription costs $4.99 per month or $9.99 per year.
