The best thing is that even the free version has the HD option and no watermark, unlike in other apps. The only app where you can trim, do volume control, crop, and add effects all in one sitting. Not stopping there, after you add it to the timeline, you are able to trim and position it in relation to the video. A must-have for any YouTubers or creative folk out there looking to cut, split, and add music to their videos. Effects, sounds, and also the ability to add words with the choice to enlarge or reduce as required.

The library of effects, filters, and transitions is impressive, and all of these are modern-looking, not the PowerPoint-style animations. And it allows you to embed music, or text, and images wherever you want in the current segments. You've got the best editing bit, that animation in which the photo or video gets zoomed from a tiny size and vice versa. Packed with useful features and impressive effects, some of which may be more relevant to kids on Instagram, or whatever.

There are many beautiful animations and special effects in Vivacut, and there are all kinds of stickers. Even though you need to pay for some transitions, it's got all the transitions you need anyway. One of the best things is that you can control the volume of the video or music added to make it louder or not. You can zoom into the video for trimming, add extra sound effects, simultaneously play different clips on the same screen, and what not. Like changing the bass in between the music so it gives that cinematic feel to the B-Rolls. Application of the overlay video speed with the optical flow interpolation clashes when exporting the video.

The major plus point is that there is no watermark, even for the free version. The UI is very intuitive; everything you need is easy to access. You can cut up and join clips, reorder, and add text, and much more. Well-designed with output quality options and practical tools including split, crop, filters, and transitions. It was easy and streamlined; there was a lot of music to choose from that won't get you in copyright infractions. Splice has great music and sound selection, text-adding software, and, of course, easy editing tricks.
