Video editing on Android: choosing the best apps. Top 10 video editors

Good time everyone!

How rapidly "running" time opens up new opportunities for us:

15-20 years ago, video was the lot of professionals;
~ 10 years ago, video editors for PC appeared (allowing any beginner to make their own films and videos);
now editors are in demand on phones (but why: the power of microprocessors has grown, there is a camera for filming in every smartphone. What else do you need? 👌).

Actually, in this small review I would like to cite several of the most interesting video editors for editing on Android (with the help of which, in general, you can make quite colorful videos (and even if you are almost a beginner in this business)).

And so ... 👇

By the way! For convenient and high-quality video processing, it's good if you had a modern phone with a large screen (6+ inches).
