iMovie
The obvious choice for any iPhone user should be the video editing app made precisely for that phone. If you’ve got your head around apps and basic editing this will be a doddle for you to use, making trimming your clips and adding captions, music and effects as easy as pie. It gives you more freedom than some of the more basic apps on the market and has the ability to save to your phone’s camera roll making it easier to view and share your masterpiece.
Magisto
If you have lots of footage to sift through and need a quick edit in a hurry then this app might just help you out. It magically picks out the most interesting parts of your clips and sorts them out into a nice little movie. Simply pick your theme and soundtrack to add filters and music if you like that sort of thing.

Montaj
If you’re completely new to the idea of making and editing videos then this is a great place to start. You can only shoot clips up to five seconds long and the app will then allow you to edit and rearrange those clips into a collection with a soundtrack and filter. It gives you little to no room for creativity due to the timeframe of clips but is good for experimenting at home before you plan a more elaborate video.
Splice
For basic edits, transitions and free soundtracks this is an easy to use app which is perfect for home movies, documenting work projects or creating exciting presentations. You can add titles and narration to your film by recording your own voice, as well as synchronise sound effects to match what’s happening on screen.
