YouCut review

YouCut is a straightforward editor for Android phones from the same developer as InShot. Its Google Play listing describes it as free with no watermark and lists auto captions, background removal, smooth slow motion, a multi-layer timeline with chroma key, a video merger that combines clips without losing quality, a cutter, a slicer and speed control from 0.2x to 100x. It also builds photo slideshows with music. That covers the most common jobs: joining clips from a day out, trimming a long recording, or adding captions to a quick update. The iPhone version exists, with YouCut Pro at $6.99 per month, $25.99 per year or $59.99 lifetime in the US store, but it has fewer documented tools than InShot at a higher price. For layered effects, keyframes or color work, VN and CapCut give more for free.
