    I was using a decent basic editor recommended here until it started pushing commercials, then became unusable as it messed aspect ratios up and added mirrored letterboxing. I'd like to get a better program that has all the basic features... aspect ratios, stacked video editing (preferable more than 4 videos at a time), hue/saturation/chroma editing, titling and subtitling, and a decent file browser.

    i was really annoyed that the useable for basic music videos program I was using would never let me rotate my tablet to landscape mode and with my headphones coming out on the left instead of in my stomach in portrait. i hated that the program wouldn't let me trim the intros of on songs for music videos, i hated the clunky 1/10th second maximum resolution that required a lot of timeline stretching to get zoomed enough to do basic edits. I'd like both finer control and maybe some kind of marker system so it's easier to synch audio to video when sliding tracks. the trial and error method combined with 4 tracks limit and lousy 1/10th second resolution caused much frustration. I'd like to step up to a serious basic editor that isn't unnecessarily complicated.

    the one I was using was easy enough to figure out, but it lacked a lot of features I wanted and was bloated with ones I didn't use.

    an editor that has CGI titling capabilities would be nice, but not necessary. I'm just looking to get a useable program that covers all the basics well without fighting users like, say, gimp does. an intuitive uncluttered interface would be best, and the ability to make edits and see timelines with an intuitive "zoom/stretch" in landscape mode is essential. I'd like a program that's good enough to get pro quality edits out of and grow with down the road. I'd like a program that under $20 too. I still just tinker with video and mostly just want to be able to upload music videos again for now, but don't want an incomplete clunky toy program.

    thanks for everyone's input in advance. i'll check everyone's suggestions out on my next day off

  2. Use a PC. Trying to do any real video editing on an android device is really disappointing. But that is my opinion and reflects my attempts to edit videos on a Android tablet and Android phones. Maybe some Android expert here may be able to help.

    PCs are NOT an option.

    I'm not looking to produce a hollywood movie, just have a solid editor I can tinker around with.

    For now, ALL of my PC use is at the library, and library PCs don't do software

  4. Then you just may be out of luck. Another find from me: most Android video editing programs that are on play store are not suited for tablets as they display in vertical mode only. Even the good weather apps have that issue.

    that was my problem with inshot.

    there should be a law against portrait mode! I DESPISE IT! ESPECIALLY when people shoot videos in it.

    I hate smart phones... oh do I ever hate them!

    At the risk of being taken out to the virtual back alley and pummeled…Cyberlink PowerDirector has a useable Android editor, multi-track timeline, several aspect ratios, easy to use, just don’t look at the stupid content they seem to think users want.

    rare grooves wants a free or inexpensive editor.

    PowerDirector for Android seems to be advertising-supported freeware.

    right now, I'd be willing to stretch to $20 for a DECENT bread & butter editor with just a little bit finer control than inshot without the limitations that drive me crazy.

    rescaling
    basic trimming & timelines (INCLUDING trimming beginning & end of ANY element) with finer precision than just 1:10th/sec
    color correction
    titling (effects would be cool)
    copy & paste
    time stretching
    import and mix audio in wav, mp3 & mp4 formats
    16x9 720p output
    import images
    WORK IN LANDSCAPE MODE!
    GOOD VIDEO BROWSER!!! (ugh I had to use external file managers to find anything with inshot & hated their random numbered video titles too)

    real basic stuff, but intuitive. a SOLID semi-pro editor I can do essential stuff on until I get REALLY serious. inshot was about 80% to 90% of what I need really. maybe their "pro (paid) version" fixes some of my pet peeves, but I bet it doesn't do landscape. portait mode can burn in heck along with pinterest
