You can barely scroll through Instagram without seeing videos used in either entertainment, tutoring or advertisements. Videos are an integral part of what social media has become today.
Most of those videos are recorded with mobile smartphones. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it requires little or no effort to make these videos on a good camera smartphone.
However, to upload these catchy videos on said social media however, one must have the right kind of applications/tools to make the video magic first before
The Inshot Video Editor is a simple photo and video editor which works across iOS and Android. This app is especially made to improve the quality of the final result for any video you decide to upload on your Instagram. You can also save these videos to your phone memory when done editing.
The developers of the app (Instashot by name), know that people make a lot of videos these days for several purposes and that's why this app was created. It is said to be one of the best photo and video editors for iPhone.
It literally makes your videos look super dope on social media. I think that is great because people are more interested in designs, pictures, videos when they are aesthetically pleasing.
