4 Editing Apps For Creating Great Social Media Stories
It’s time to up your stories game
Everyone is a content creator in their own right on social media. On channels like Facebook and (mainly) Instagram, the story format is what really allows for flexing creative muscle with the intent of, well, telling a story: the places you’ve been, the people you’ve spent time with, the moments and the point of view that you’d like to share with friends and followers. It’s here where editing apps come in handy, giving users video editing, effects, collaging capabilities, filters and more right at their fingertips—no extensive editing know-how necessary. Storytelling can really be made your own.
Ahead, four editing apps that are easy to use yet produce high-impact stories to get you started.
InShot
InShot is an app that can pretty much do it all for social media content editing: photo, video and collage. Plus, you get a library of stickers and effects that can make storytelling fun, adding an extra layer of customization. The beauty of the app, however, lies in its comprehensive offering of video editing tools that pretty much mirrors video editing software. Create sequences. Add music. Add audio effects. Incorporate picture-in-picture. InShot is the app for those serious about creating captivating videos for stories and more.
