Many of them are free and you can simply tap on their download button to get them. That store grants you access to additional effects. If you need more effects, filters, transitions, etc, you can grab them all from the KineMaster Asset Store (most become free with a subscription - with new ones added every week) (Image credit: KineMaster) The creation of them is remarkably easy and you can tell the developers have worked hard on every facet of this editing application to offer powerful features in an intuitive and compact way. You’ve got a slider to control the speed of any given clip.Īny clip not on the Primary Timeline can be altered with the use of keyframes. You have access to a good number of tools, like colour filters, cropping, rotation, opacity, and there’s even a chroma key tool. The Secondary Timelines don’t have this restriction and you can add anything there wherever you need it - as long as it’s over a Primary Timeline clip.ĭo note that the Primary Timeline sets the project’s duration - playback will stop once the playhead reaches the end of the last clip on that layer irrespective of whether there is more footage on other layers beyond that. This is useful and allows you to build an edit fast. The first layer is known as the Primary Timeline and KineMaster doesn’t allow gaps in it: delete one clip and any others to its right move to the left until they join with the rest of the edit. Overlays (like text and stickers for instance) are less computationally intensive and KineMaster appears to let you have as many of those as you need.

Editingĭepending on the power of your device, KineMaster allows you to work on multiple layers of video. It’s a very intuitive process which allows you to pack a lot of power in the small phone screen. For instance, tap on some video footage in your timeline to get editing tools, or choose a text layer to gain access to the font selection, colour and formatting tools. Selecting a clip not only alters the Action menu, it also replaces that Media Panel with contextual tools.

There is a good range of options for creating and animating titles on your screen (Image credit: KineMaster)
