CyberGuy lists the best video editing apps for iPhone and Android.
You may not be Steven Spielberg, but your friends and family may think so after you tap into any of these super easy ways to make a movie on your phone. I was inspired to write this article after recently receiving a great question from Jeff from Lady Lake, Fla.
Here's what he asks:
Hi Kurt
My wife is thinking of doing some short videos (5 - 8 minutes) and will probably post on YT and/or Rumble. She plans on using her phone (Android system on MOTO G) to do this. My question is, what are the best free video apps to install?
Thanks!
