What is InShot Video Editor?
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.
FEATURES
The Inshot Video Editor app contains features which can be easily referred to as tools that help to improve your videos before you upload them. Below are the most notable ones as you may still discover new features while you use it.
For instance in the video editing section, if a video has been made in vertical style, you can decide to zoom in and enlarge the image or create a pretty blur effect behind the image. Also, you can add filters, text, emojis, and even music.
As promised, below are some features you'd love using the app.
1. Video Editing
- Trim video
- Cut/Delete middle part of a video
- Merge videos
- Adjust video speed
2. Instagram
- Blur border for photo and video. Make it square ready for Instagram.
- Colored border to make it square ready.
- Move video/photo inside the square.
3. Music, Effects & Voice-overs
- Add your own music to video, like mp3 files and other format.
- Lots of fun sound effects.
- Add voice-overs.
- Easy to sync sound and video, with timeline features.
- Volume control for both original video sound and mp3 songs.

Inshot Video Editor allows you to edit videos either shot on your phone or brought in from other devices. You can edit individually or combine.
Another awesomeness of this app is that InShot makes it easy for you to change the shape of the video, for different Social Media without having to re-edit. This is somewhat an issue with other video editors.

Great easy to use However....
By BeautifulDisasters (Pcmac user)
This app is very amazing almost perfect....
I am learning new things i this one. I do love that I can put in text and add what I need this has made it easy... if you could maybe add a feature ( I may not have figured this out yet) to only add music for a section of the edited part that would be super awesome! This app is easy to use to so beginners who have no idea would definitely be able to figure it out Great job on the Easy Interface!
I personally feel that there could be a couple more color effect ..... the yellow look and blue doesn’t do it for me. Just an example seafoam twilight ivory those kind of color nothing to high class but just more color effects not quite so yellow♥️
I also don’t like the fact that if your editing something and you get a call or text and answer, when you go back you have to start all over again.... yes if you save before you leave your fine but I did notice this not a fan.... other then this I love the App the small bugs are just that and once that’s done really nothing to blink an eye about😉 Thank you for a great app much appreciated❣️

Best Video Editor App Ever!! BUT...
By Brina$$$ (Pcmac user)
This is by far the best video editor app I’ve ever used. I’m a new vlogger and i get the most vlog-like videos using it. It allows me to speed up or slow down my videos, add filters/ adjust brightness, contrast, saturation etc, I can also add pictures to my videos and record voice clippings in the app. There’s also a feature for adding text to the screen.
However, my biggest problem is the saving process. I make >4 minutes videos and it takes like half an hour to save videos. Sometimes after I’ve waited that long it goes off to say that ‘save failed’ and I have to do it all over again! Very frustrating. Next thing is I can only save one draft at a time so I can’t edit 2 vlogs at once or else the other one will be deleted. I also don’t like it that sometimes if I pause my editing and go do something on other apps, when I re-enter the app, all my editing has been lost. I would like to be able to use actual songs instead of just tracks and sound effects.
Lastly, it would be nice if the app noted me that I need a little more storage space BEFORE I wait almost an hour for a video to process and then I have to try clear some space and go back in the app only to find that my editing has been lost and I have to do it all over again.
Other than these things, editing my videos for my new vlog is easiest using InShot. I would recommend it to anyone.

I love this app but...
By Person 😝 (Pcmac user)
I think this is one of the best, most useful apps, I have used for editing. I love making edits so this has made it easier. I think that if you guys could probably make it so we could use our own sound, from our own other videos, like Video Star, it would make it so much easier. I also think that it would make it so much easier to edit and a whole lot less annoying if you could put a transition wherever you want. Of course, some people might not like having that so you could make it so you can turn it off when you please. I can tell you I would not like to have the “new option” all the time.I would also like more options to make your videos/edits better. I think a great idea would be adding options to click and hold on to add an effect whenever and where ever you like, like Musically. Lastly, the most annoying thing ever on this app, is that when adding a transition it messes with the sound and time. Couldn’t you add the transition in without messing with the time or sound? I, also, absolutely, HATE the fact that there is no freaking back arrow. It takes about 10 times as slow as it should be taking because I make one small mistake and have to start all over. Thank you for the time, I absolutely love this app and would definitely request this to anyone looking for an editing app.

Seems a little sneaky
By Lyzzie K. (Pcmac user)
I have used this app for years and recently decided to try some of the new filter packs and effects they offer within the app. While they present it to you as if you’re buying the packs individually at $1.99 and move the aforementioned packs to the top of line when you go to filters to add to videos.......making it appear as if you’ve purchased, and can freely use said filter pack. However, I found out today when looking at my Apple transaction history for the month, that they actually charge you (without a second authorization of the “purchase”) EACH TIME you use a filter from the pack that you had been led to believe you had purchased in full. Not criminal, but a little too sneaky. Although the app has always worked well for my videos, this seems too strange an issue to continue using the app and hope they find a way not to confuse or trick their customers into spending two dollars at a time in the future. Or perhaps, Developer, you could add a feature where the user continues to have to authorize said purchases; every other app I have for every other purchase I make through them requires a fingerprint or at least a “YES” before the transaction can be completed. No more sneaky transactions! This happened 3x before I called Apple Support and they explained to me what the app was doing with my money. Be careful!
