For a mobile app that works on phones and tables and that is essentially free, it packs quite a punch. Most mobile video editing apps attempt to simplify the creation process by limiting the number of available options. Kinemaster mod apk seems to have successfully turned this expectation on its head, and has provided a simplified interface with quite a lot of advanced features crammed in.
Being able to create and edit videos on the go is one of those things that don’t surprise us anymore. What does surprise us though, is the range of tools that let you do it well. Video is a large part of digital marketing and no business of any size can get around it. Video is simply a necessity. That’s why today we’ll explore one of the best options available. It’s the Kinemaster pro Mod Apk video editor.
Interface
The first thing you notice is that like other mobile video editors, Kinemaster mod apk doesn’t have a media section that lists a project’s available clips. Instead, it relies on your device’s camera roll. This means that you need to import the clips you want to use as you’re using them. It’s not the most ideal of solutions because you can’t preview your footage, and set in and out points for the portion you’d like to use; you have to do that after having inserted the clips in your project. This seems to be a universal limitation of working with mobile devices, but it doesn’t stop experienced editors from being frustrated by it.
The working interface is cleverly designed. To the left is the Action Bar whose tools change depending on what’s selected in the Timeline.
The Timeline itself is at the bottom - although if you’re used to editing in other apps and on other platforms, be advised that the convention is reversed: if you want a clip to overlap another, you must make sure the former is placed underneath the latter. This takes a bit of getting used to.
The Media Panel is the large circle to the right, where you can import media, record a voice over, create new layers for various types of overlays, delete a selected clip, or access the Kinemaster diamond Asset Store.
Selecting a clip not only alters the Action menu, it also replaces the Media Panel with contextual tools. For instance, tap on some video footage in your timeline to get editing tools, or choose a text layer to gain access to the font selection, colour and formatting tools. It’s a very intuitive process which allows you to pack a lot of power in the small phone screen.
If you like transitions, adding them to your project is incredibly easy, although this can be done solely on the Primary Timeline. Once two clips are next to each other, a large ‘+’ appears where they join. Tap on it to reveal the list of available transitions, organised by categories. You don’t appear to be able to alter a transition’s duration however.
Effects (like animation and gaussian blur which are installed by default) are applied via the Media Panel and are placed under other layers in the Timeline. Should you be on the lookout for additional effects, you can find them through the KineMaster Asset Store.
Pricing
Once you’ve finished your project, it’s time to export it. Kinemaster pro apk offers you a choice of resolutions from 360P to 4K. Set the Frame Rate and the Quality you’re after, and tap on Export. You’ll find that top right of your completed video features a small “Made with KINEMASTER” watermark. That’s the price you pay for having access to all these tools for free.
There are two ways you can get rid of this watermark. Only Android owners can take advantage of the first option: make sure you use one of Muserk’s audio tracks somewhere in your video (you can access them via the Media Panel’s Audio section), and the watermark’s gone. Sadly, this doesn’t apply to iOS owners, so they’re left with the second option: to purchase a subscription. $6.41 (£4.99) a month (or $50 (£38.99) a year) not only removes that watermark, it also grants you access to all the premium effects in the Asset Store, with new ones being added monthly.
The editing interface looks similar to many other video editing software. Let’s take a deeper look at the controls.
Control Bar. On the left of the interface is the control bar. There are buttons for undo and redo. A capture button to add an image to your project with the help of the device camera. Project settings with lots of available adjustments for the audio, video, and adjustment. There is also a button that opens up the timeline when it’s too crowded at the bottom. The android
The Video Window. The video window is in the center like most video editing software. But if you click on the timeline toggle in the control bar, the video window moves over to the left of the screen.
Media Circle. The media circle is on the top right of the screen. From the media bar, you add new media, music, effects, and layers. The red circle inside the media circle is a capture button. Meaning you can capture video on your phone right from the app. You can also record audio with your microphone.
Advanced Settings. When a video or audio clip is selected, the advanced editing tools appear in place of the media circle. The number of editing options is quite impressive for a mobile app.
Timeline. The timeline is at the bottom of the screen unless you click on the timeline button on the control bar which will put the timeline in a larger area to the right, pushing the video window to the left. On the timeline, you can organize layers with effects, titles, b-roll clips, and audio tracks. The first and topmost layer is the main clip layer. The clips in this layer are always adjacent to each other and there are never any gaps. In the layers below, you can adjust when new clips come into the scene by moving the clips around.
Assets Marketplace. Inside the assets marketplace, you’ll find lots of effects, transitions, and title slides. These are all available when you have a subscription but have a cost per effect when you are just using the free subscription.
Export and Share. When you’re done with the video it’s time to export it. To share it on YouTube and social media you have to export it first. If the video is long it might take a while to export completely.
All in all, the Kinemaster pro mobile video editor is a pretty decent video editing app. It’s not expensive if you are constantly creating videos, especially if you are doing it from your handheld device. You can get Kinemaster in the App Store and on Google Play. You can find an extensive and detailed user guide on the Kinemaster website which helps understand every working detail of the app.
Final verdict
KineMaster Mod Apk is a surprisingly powerful video editing app for your mobile device and you can find yourself creating complex projects with ease. The interface is simple yet stores a lot of tools, and as it’s free (as long as you don’t mind the watermarking), it’s definitely worth checking out.
