Although the editing tool hasn’t been around for that long, it has quickly become a go-to app for Instagram Stories video edits.

With more than 100 filters and effects to choose from, film-inspired frames and templates, multi-clip editing and royalty-free audio tracks the possibilities are endless. Plus, if you’re loving the “vintage tech” trend, this is the app for you. In just a few taps you can transform your phone content into a dreamy, old-school footage.

#5: VSCO

VSCO has been a fan-favourite editing app for quite a while now, but some of you might not know that you can also edit your video content in the app as well! A lesser-known feature lets you add any of your favorite VSCO filters to your video content to help you maintain a cohesive aesthetic, no matter what you’re posting. Besides adding filters, you can also make different adjustments such as contrast, brightness, temperature, and more in the video editor.

Video editing in VSCO is an exclusive tool included in the VSCO paid membership, but it may be worth investing in if you’re looking to take your video content to a higher level!
