Mobile Videography Editing - Kinemaster

Kinemaster is a powerful videography editing tool for your phone. You can get it for both Android and IOS. There is a free version and paid version of this app. The free version has a watermark on your video and you don’t have access to many of the effects but you can still edit your videos on the fly and get them on your social media platforms.

There are several tutorials on how to use this app on YouTube. Justin Brown with Primal Video (link provided) on how to start using this app. Once you get comfortable with the app, there are others like Ajay Kaja TV (link to his channel provided) who can help you take your mobile video editing to the next level.

I hope this blog post helps. If you are using any other apps on your phone, let me know in the comments below. I would be interested in seeing what others are using. Thanks and have a good one.

There are some excellent tutorials on how to get started with Natron. Here is a playlist from TJ Free on how to use the software. There are others out there but since I am just beginning, the playlist I shared is perfect to start out with.
