My Journey With Video Apps: Vidlab

Developer: Vidlab

Cost: Free (in app purchases)

App Overview (from iTunes): VidLab is a multi-track, multi-clip video editor that allows you to easily create beautiful, fun videos & photo stories by adding text, artwork, music, video, sound effects, overlays, voice-overs & more to your videos (and photos)!

What I Like: I really like the ability to edit your clips prior to input. I also like how they automatically conform a vertical video to a horizontal video by adding a blurred background to it. That’s a nice touch. The ability to fine tune sound editing and transitions.

What I Don’t Like: No discernible speed ramping features. Does not save projects, have to complete project in one sitting. Filters are limited. Text is hard to manipulate with a touch screen. No music selection, everything comes from your iTunes/music library. iOS Only. Options without in app purchases are extremely limited. So much so, it’s not even worth using the free stuff. The watermark.

What I Think is Special About the App: The ability to choose to do a video, a collage or a slideshow is a nice touch and offers variety.

 

My Journey With Video Apps: Oringe Inc’s Videohance

Developer: Oringe Inc.

Cost: $3.99

App Overview (from iTunes): Videohance is the ultimate video look editor.

What I Like: You can choose to add effects to one clip or all in one click. Wide variety of styles to choose from. Two types of export options. Easy to move items in an order you like.

What I Don’t Like: Can’t add transitions in the edit itself, have to wait on export. Can’t change the duration of stills as a whole, when importing you have to change duration then. iOS only. A bit pricey for a very limited app.

What I Think is Special About the App: I like how in the import phase you can reframe your pics and videos. That is a nice touch.
