Review Qditor - best video editor
Make a slideshow of photos, videos and background music
Author: Tariq Abdulla
Date: 05 May 2017, tested on HTC One S
Interesting functionality, functions quickly, simple interface
Requires an in-app purchase to be useful
Qditor for Android is a video editor that you can use to combine your videos and photos together with some background music or narration. You can adjust volume levels, add animated text boxes, and play around with transitions. It's quite ambitious to try and make this kind of app for mobile devices. Unfortunately, Qditor shoots itself in the foot by letting you splice together your whole slideshow. Only, when you try to save it, you find out that you need pay a few bucks if you want to save videos longer than 30 seconds.
That's a tad scammy, especially considering they don't mention it upfront on the Play Store. Offering a Pro version, and explaining the limitations of the free version, would be more honest.
But let's try to judge Qditor on its merits. For me, I couldn't get it to open reliably. It could be that my phone isn't rocking enough power these days. But I suspect it has more to do with bugginess and the ad that pops up on opening the the app. You also need to remember to save your project before looking at something else on your device, or you could lose your work. But at least it has the ability to save projects, and Qditor is stable once you successfully launch it.
The interface is good once you get the hang of it. They have managed to turn an inevitably fiddly task into a usable app, even on smaller screens. There are buttons for photos videos and music. You tap these to see the ones Qditor has found for you, and hold it to open a folders view for hunting more down. I'm not particularly impressed with the automatic file-fetching. It didn't find files that I had downladed from dropbox, for example, so I had to go and tediously hunt for them.
Overall, Qditor for Android can do most of the things you can do with desktop software such as Movie Maker. If you have photos and videos on your gizmo that you want to turn into a musical slideshow, and you don't have time to sit down at a computer, this could be the app for you. But be aware that you will need to pay for it.
