TOP 5 FREE VIDEO EDITOR APPS FOR ANDROID

In today's entertainment world, a major player is video content and products. Virtually everyone today must at one point or the other watch at least two to three videos a day. Two in every three videos are doctored and arranged to suit a certain standard. Doctoring or manipulating videos is what is generally known today as video editing. From movies to television shows, music videos, advertising videos or even documentaries are at one point or the other edited to meet up with a certain standard or external information added to it to vamp up its quality or message. Before the advent of the computer age, video editing was basically cut and join of recorded tapes and it was a grossly tedious affair compared to the ease of using computer software to achieve a perfect editing finish.

There are basically five major types of video editing, namely:

LINEAR VIDEO EDITING:

Linear video editing follows the old way of editing video by using one videotape to record video shots in a particular sequence, all shot records are not touched as they follow a rehearsed pattern of the shoot which most times become the final end product.

VISION MIXING:

This form of editing video has to do with recording live, mostly for television and on-the-go live event streaming or broadcast. This form of video editing relies basically on the vision mixer machine which in real-time processes and edits video capture from a couple of cameras connected to it.

OFFLINE VIDEO EDITING:

This is the extract of raw shots from an original video capture source. This process does not in anyway affect the original copy of the filmed content or rushes. After editing work has been carried out at this stage, it usually or in certain cases does not go through the final process of online video editing.

NON-LINEAR EDITING:

Non-linear editing is what is widely used today as it incorporates computer software to achieve perfect end results. Editing videos non-linearly involve using software to both pieces together and add other information to the video before rendering it for a final copy.

ONLINE VIDEO EDITING:

Online video editing surmises around retouching the resolution quality of an already edited video project. This form of video editing is a professional edge to delivering high-quality HD videos. Big production companies take this part of video production quite seriously as it usually speaks volume about the general picture.

Basically editing video contents involves adding of special effects, streamlining the timing of the footage, adding pre-recorded sound and either speeding up or slowing down the speed of the clips. Being an aspect visual art, every edited video in the hands of a professional carries a message or suits a certain purpose. 

Today, video editing is not just tied to using computer software either on a desktop or a laptop computer; editing video is can now be carried out right from the very palms of our hands everywhere we go.
