InShot: the video editor most people actually use
2.48 million ratings at 4.8 — the largest audience of any editor here. Fast for short vertical video, limited once projects get complex.
2,481,874 ratings at 4.8. No other editor in this category is close, and the reason is not features — it is that InShot gets a clip cut, captioned and exported before rivals finish loading.
What it is good at
Speed on short video. Trim, split, add text and music, export vertical. The whole loop takes minutes.
Predictable output. Aspect ratios for every platform are presets, not settings you configure.
What it costs
A watermark on the free tier, plus ads. The subscription removes both, and almost everyone posting regularly ends up paying.
251 MB.
Where it stops
Multi-track work, precise audio, colour. InShot has layers but not the kind of control that a ten-minute edit needs. At that point people move to VN or LumaFusion, and the move is worth making rather than fighting the tool.
