Videoshop - Video Editor Reviews

by Snotty Lawyer Stoner

I used to love Videoshop a lot but then they changed like all of the features to be like for the pro and also they raised the price went from I don’t even know what it was before but it was pretty cheap my sister got it and then they changed the price which I did not like it like for the pro version they changed the price and I just think that’s really stupid because I feel like everybody loved it before also they used to have so much music that you could just like do you whatever you wanted like all of it most of it was free and then recently they changed it you have to like have the subscription in order to do the music and you could only do a clip of the music if you didn’t have a subscription but I think it’s really stupid so i’m right now looking for a new editing app because this is just like not I don’t like it anymore so please unless you were willing to pay for Videoshop I wouldn’t suggest getting this also please fix this I know it’s not a glitch but just like don’t can you remove this feature please because it’s just kind of annoying and I loved it much better when it was when most of it was free I feel like you’re gonna keep losing people wanting to try your app because you have to pay $90 if you want a subscription for eternity which I think is very stupid it’s too much so yeah please.

After using the free version of Videoshop for a while, I decided to purchase the monthly subscription. I was excited to be able to use the simple features like motion text. However, was disappointed to discover there seems to be no way to use the “effects” in text along with “motion” text. It’s an either or situation. At least, not that I’ve been able to figure out. Which brings me to my other point, maybe there is a way but there’s also no instructions or tutorials anywhere of how to use the features.
Also, when adding a backdrop to a video, if I want to impose a video on top of the background...so you know the background is IN THE BACKGROUND, it defaults for me to choose it from my camera roll instead of letting me take a clip I’ve already edited and added text, stickers etc to and placing it on the background.
I’m glad the first three days are free...will probably cancel before free trial ends because I’m not sure what my $4 a month is getting me.
If I’m not doing something correctly, please someone enlighten me. I really want to like Videoshop. It seems very user friendly; but it’s just falling short right now.

I’ve been using this app for several years now. I even paid for “coins” several years ago that allowed me to buy clips and sound effects. I was having issues with Videoshop not importing my videos so I could edit them so I deleted Videoshop and re-downloaded it. I lost all of the clips that I had paid for and can’t even access that area of Videoshop anymore. It has said it’s “under construction” for more than a year.

I have tried to reach out to the developer by email at least 4 times and have never received a response. Videoshop is also glitchy. Several times my videos have failed to save to my camera roll saying there “isn’t enough space” when my ipad has more than half of its memory available. Additionally, it will often fail to import videos which is what led me to delete and re-install Videoshop in the first place.

For basic editing it’s fine, but they have severely increased the price in recent years. It would be nice if they would keep basic functionality for Videoshop for those who have been loyal users for years... or at least respond to emails.

This is my first time ever writing a review on an app but Videoshop is just too good. The editing is not complicated, it’s actually very easy and fast. Videoshop is also super easy to navigate through. Though Videoshop has various desirable assets though, I do have a few concerns about what is given to you by Videoshop . I understand that you can use music you have already purchased from iTunes and etc, but I would like a more wide range of free music. The big reason behind this is because when I looked to the music shop via Videoshop , I tried buying music but because of no testing option to test it on my video instead of just simply hearing it, I was thrown off if it would be good or not for my format. I bought two songs and to my disappointment, I didn’t like them. Another reason why is because I know of many famous royalty free songs that I think should be offered, for example, let’s take a popular song played in many videos, Wii Music, it would be awesome to see that on Videoshop . I understand why this could be complicated to initiate but I hope you take this into consideration. Thank you if you’re reading this!

I like Videoshop but, I keeps deleting my progress and all my creations and won’t stop talking about storage and it’s about to delete my 1 to 2 hour project it like that long to make it and if I edit it will soon be deleted as long If I keep editing it, and I can’t make it again because “storage” so, I can duplicate entire projects why can’t I add one second videos? I literally can’t even speed things up even though it removes storage space I might as well just ignore it I like Videoshop it just doesn’t make sense sometimes now please help and remove space limits and actually check how much more my iPad can inhale, please. also, this was written by the account owners son, so I am a kid and I wrote all of this well typed it, again please fix also I leave the 4 star rating because it would be impossible for me to really do anything on it ok um again please fix also I know it’s for like space but I don’t to go around on my iPad deleting everything for this one app, again please fix, um would it be better if I said please delete or reinstall space function um ok just do something that might help ok?

Update: My issues were fixed in the recent update.

I don’t use Videoshop often but my VideoMall sign-ins cause Videoshop to crash. If I don’t sign in then functionality is reduced. I understand the developers need to earn revenue to support the continued maintenance of Videoshop . I think it’s unreasonable for those who paid $5 a decade ago to expect it be free for life. That isn’t a sustainable business model and without one Videoshop becomes abandonware. That said, I am one of the grandfathered people and would like some direction from the devs on what steps to take. Best practice would be to discontinue upgrades to the existing app and start a subscription model on a new version and give people the option to remain or upgrade. Again, there’s no free ride in life. At ones workplace when we update projects our employees don’t expect (nor would we) do the task without pay. I suspect the devs are trying to create a long-term biz model to make Videoshop viable. Remember folks, when we purchased Videoshop the devs only got 70% of every dollar. The rest goes to Apple.

I purchased this app back in 2015 and have used Videoshop religiously as my only video editor (it’s way better than the current version of iMovie) throughout the years Videoshop has grew into quite a remarkable resource and tool for me, every update adding something new, fixing bugs, and improving a already near perfect app for me. During the pandemic in 2020 I found myself using this app A LOT to keep myself productive and creative.
However after one particular update I found myself logged out and restoring my purchases wasn’t working. I quickly emailed this app Support of my situation and they honored my original 2015 purchase (when Videoshop was under $5) and have Grandfathered me into the Pro Features for life! I’m so happy with their understanding and quick actions to get back to editing my home videos! Best video editor on iPhone period! (Seriously though why is iMovie sooo underwhelming and bear bones?? this app is a 3rd party company outshining Apple’s own video application!)

10/10!!

I have been a user of Videoshop since late 2016 and I gotta say!! There has not been any other app like this one ☝️ the abilities and easy format makes my social video look like I did them on a program like Final Cut Pro! In fact they have been done through Videoshop my little secret...!

recently I had a issue I purchased a new phone I had to transfer all my old apps to my new phone and this one is one of my favorites I had a issue with my account and thought I lost my pro account I reached out to the admin by e-mail and boom!! I got a response quick and fast 💨 I could not believe how fast not only did they fixed my issue they also we’re easy to communicate! You don’t get this courtesy from developers! I’m very happy with app period!!

User if you are looking to be creative and want to do a quick video with music and transition and upload to your other social media accounts this is your app! Trust me I tried others and this one is by far the best experience I had love it Thank you for making this awesome app!

by JustinCredibleTime

While looking through different apps to use as my main editing program a friend told me about this app many years ago, and I took the chance of paying the premium price for the features. I’ve told many people about Videoshop after many of my edits, but recently had my iPhone due on me and while restoring my phone to another, I was SHOCKED to find out I was asked to PAY FULL PRICE for another membership?!?! I was already locked into a lifetime membership and now I’m being forced to pay again?! It then asked me to sign in. Previously I never had to have an account to sign in. I am very disappointed and don’t believe it’s good business to require a customer to have to pay another lifetime membership $90 if I’ve already done so in the past. I think the functions of Videoshop are great but I now have a great disrespect for a company that can’t honor a previous, loyal, referring customer. I resorted to pay for short term access because I need to continue editing a few projects, but please make this right!!
UPDATE:
They responded back same day when I emailed their “bug” department and restored my account. Even though I already paid for an additional year, it’s well worth supporting a company that makes things right when there’s an issue and stands by quality!! 👍🏼

There are many animation apps available, but free or paid, subscription or one time cost, new or old, I've yet to find one able to import more than one frame (picture) from photos at a time. So if you use a dedicated app to create each of your frames (a must for complex animation images, as all in-app drawing and editing tools for all animation apps fall far short) then you must import them one at a time. At 30 frames a second, that can mean thousands of imports...one by one. It's excruciating, and a huge waste of time. this app, however, lets you import dozens, even hundreds of frames ALL AT ONCE. By reducing the play speed of all frames to a tenth of a second, exporting the video, reimporting it, then accelerating it to 3X...boom, it plays perfectly! Discovering this has already saved hours. Now if the devs would just publish the pixel size of each of the three available screen configurations, and add an option to reduce play rate down to 1/3 of a second, it would be awesome. But even as-is, this has been a huge help!

I have been using this app since the very early days. It’s been at least 4 years, and I love Videoshop. It has the easiest interface and it has so many possibilities in the creation of video projects. However, I have a few inquiries concerning the newest update. I was thrilled as I read through it’s description, but I’m failing to understand the “pro” aspect. I am most certainly an “Old user”, but I don’t see anything about the pro-status within the actual app. I was also unable to find a place where I could purchase the pro-status if I didn’t have it. I’m confused as to what I’m now able to access, and I also don’t understand whether or not my pro-status will stay forever, or if I will have to buy something, which is undesirable as I have been a loyal user for years and I paid the original price of five dollars in the early days. It seems as if another purchase won’t be necessary from me, according to the description, but I am still unsure. Thank you for your time, and please keep up the good work and helpful updates. I love Videoshop and I will never stop using it.

I am incredibly let down. I loved Videoshop for YEARS AND YEARS (coming up on 4 now) and have loved all of the editing tools that came with it. I was nervous to buy it at first because it was more than a dollar and therefore out of my 12-year-old comfort zone but was immediately so glad I made the decision to buy. I used it constantly for years onward. Flash forward to now, when I bought a new phone and lost a few apps. I redownloaded it and was immediately shocked by the fact that I had to pay $90 once in order to use all of my old favorites? I am so disappointed because this is the only software I have been able to use to create videos for school and for pleasure. Making videos is a passion and major stress-reliever for me, and God knows I needed it this year. I also had not made a Videomall account in the past because, as previously hinted at, I didn’t purchase much. However I just made one and am hoping I will be able to be “grandfathered” as the other lucky long-time users have. I can send you proof of how long I’ve been using Videoshop if necessary. I hope you wonderful people at this app won’t disappoint.

UPDATE!!! The wonderful people at this app have listened and given back all the wonderful things I previously had access to. I love Videoshop and the people who make it. Thank you all.

I love this app. I’ve been using it for four years, give or take. I bought it back when it was five bucks and have never once been disappointed with it. Any bugs or crashes have always been fixed and Videoshop just kept getting more and more advanced, which made me extremely happy. But.. recently I had a mishap with my Apple ID, it was a whole ordeal and I ended up losing that entire account and needing to reset my whole phone, therefore losing everything I had with Videoshop. I’ve re-downloaded it only to discover I have to pay to get my feathers back. I’m a student who uses Videoshop for just about everything, there’s nothing it can’t do for me. So, you could imagine my frustration. However, I still love this editor and could never find another one like it. Once I got used to the layout, I was obsessed, and started making projects out of random things on the daily. It’s a tad upsetting, and I’m very strongly thinking of reaching out to the wonderful developers to see what they can do for me. Other than my unfortunate mishap, you will NOT regret downloading Videoshop.

I use Videoshop all the time. You can make mini films with added sound effects with music or you can make your own sound with the sound recorder or choose your own music through iTunes. You can also just add multiple videos together if your not too big on editing. Videoshop simplifies everything making your work flow easy, smooth and quick. I’ve been using Videoshop for about 7 year only using the free addition at that. But every time I stop using it and go back to it, Videoshop never disappoints. Import, export to your iPhone camera roll or sent it through text, mail or straight to your social media. If I had one complaint it would be the 5 second tag that this app puts on the top corner of your video when it start. Of coarse there are loop holes to get around the tag if it really bothers you, if not you can just keep the tag on your video. Other then that amazing app. If your looking to make quick films and put multiple videos together on your iPhone don’t look any further everything you need is right here.

I’m willing to pay for apps that include excellent content, but video shop includes everything for free. I have a premium membership that allows me to download my videos in 4K, but you can download your videos in 1080 P for free. Using a lot of the other high rated apps is a bunch of baloney most of the time because they want to charge you for every little thing that video shop offers for free. You can do so much with it like easily cut, split, and change speed of video. Uploading and knitting together video is extremely easy, I like the video quality of the finished product because it doesn’t lose any of the quality. You can add stickers to your videos, do voice recordings, but my only wish is that the music and soundtrack menu would come out more quickly, and that there was more variety in the noises categories. You can also change the display settings of your videos like saturation, brightness, pretty much like you can with photos. I am very pleased with it and it’s the only video editing app I have used for many years so far.

Well i have used Videoshop for years i have videos from freshman year in my photos from when i originally bought Videoshop i loved it its perfect for the smaller things i do on my phone i was here before ken burns and buying clips and even some of the older features and then one day an update came and i lost access to the features i used regularly i was almost unphased because i thought they wouldn’t make me repay the original price of 5$ i payed but of course this was not the case i hope to find another one and done payment for an app that does something similar to Videoshop but i doubt it Videoshop was great for sure and is great for those who don’t mind paying monthly
Sincerely
-One of the oldies

Wow well came back from my little video escapade to find that the developer still has love for the people still around and downloading it back again and using all the features i have to say this is hands down something you should buy the premium version of 60$ a year that’s well worth what your getting love Videoshop love the developer i wish i could recommend more then 5 stars

I really can’t say anything bad about Videoshop. I’ve tried coming up with something, and I can’t. The interface is intuitive and easy to learn, the options you get as a free user are robust for quick and simple video editing, Videoshop runs fast and stable, and ads/watermarks on the free version aren’t terribly intrusive or obnoxious.

I originally downloaded this app along with a bunch of other video editing apps just to make one short arts/crafts video tutorial/timelapse with subtitles without having to move my iPhone recordings to desktop AfterEffects. this app’s free features gave me ALL the tools I needed and more; it made the job so easy that I’m motivated to do more! What can I say, it’s just the best free iPhone video editing app if you’re not doing anything super intensive.

The extra Pro features ARE pretty great though, and I can definitely see myself getting a Pro subscription very soon, as I definitely plan on recording more now that this app has shown me how easy editing on a phone can be. Many thanks to the devs for their hard work at making a great quality app that is convenient and accessible. Keep up the great work!

The new update organizes everything well, and there’s new audio tracks which are always helpful too! I’ve used this app since its very beginning, and it has always been my number one choice for video editing. I use this app because it is VERY user friendly, and it has a lot of capabilities, which are two things that I have never been able to find together in other software. There are, however, certain limitations to this software that I would like to see change in the future. What I mean by this is mainly special effects. Videoshop has a wide range of sound effects, but little to know special effects besides filters. I believe that this app has the potential of becoming a software that is capable creating/adding in a wide range of muzzle flashes, lightsaber blades, explosions, etc! It would be nice if this could become a reality, as I currently have to use multiple apps to create an action short film. I also think that this app could one day become an application for Macs/PCs. If this were to happen, I would be the first to use it, because I need quality and user friendly software that is capable of creating longer videos. Thanks! And keep up the good work.

I don’t even remember how long I been using Videoshop, but I gotta say it’s the best one I’ve ever tried. Once I got used to it an learned how to at least complete a video then it was just a matter of time before I stepped up my quality an now I’m making videos that even impress myself lol, and I still don’t know how to do everything. I wish there was a video that teaches you how to use every feature on this high quality app. But right now it’s the best one I’ve ever used and I knew that the day I got my free trial. You would think you couldn’t make that many videos and you wouldn’t use it that much but I use it ALL the time and like I said, I’m impressed every time! Thank You for such a great app!

I wrote that almost 2 years ago give or take a year... it’s still the most user friendly out of all others out their and I’m still making before and after vids of my companies work, not to mention I’m working on a full length movie just to push myself into other things. Videoshop is worth every bit of change it cost to own it... I can’t say enough good things. One thing an I’m sure it’s on me, I can’t seam to get in their little store/mall thing it has. But I’m sure it’s very cool!

So, I haven’t had this for a year yet, but I bought the monthly subscription because it was an amazing app! So a few days ago I deleted Videoshop for space. I downloaded it again. The pro was still there so I was very happy about that right? But, the main reason I bought it was for the moveable screens. When I went into the game I looked to make sure there were no updates or anything. And either there was an update, or a glitch. I don’t think that there would be a glitch as soon as I downloaded it. So I thought it was an update. I went out of my room crying because I was devastated that my mom wasted her money on something that would not last. My mom said if I liked it, I could buy the yearly one when the monthly one finished. I did really like it, but now,I don’t know anymore. Thank you for reading.

Next part if for the Developer!

If the person who made this is reading this, please tell me if it’s a glitch, or if you did update it please. If you did update it, try to fix it, or I will regret buying the pro, and want my money back. Thank you.

I love Videoshop hands down, it’s been the best for quick video with decent quality editing. In April 2018 when I last made a video noticed that things hadn’t changed yet, I loved Videoshop and the font, type, and effects feature. But when I updated, there’s no more options for effects for fonts. It just says “ Outline or Fade” when it use to have so many options! There’s fade transitions for the words appearing and disappearing, but I no longer can make the words have shadows, add gradients, different outline thickness, opacity for borders or shadows of the letters, different colors for shadows and boarders, time the fade ins/outs the amount when it comes to those effects- just really specific stuff I could do to the words I was typing into the video slides, and those options were awesome! Is there an update to bring that old feature back? It was the same for the longest time, I’ve been using Videoshop for two-three years and I miss the options.

by Savvy_official

I have been using Videoshop for around 3.5 years. It offered so much at the time in terms of freedoms, super advanced. The cut and split options really blew my mind. During that time I never felt the need to use the community options and never made an account. (But I was grandfathered in with Pro with new updates.)
Nevertheless I love this app.
I have to cheat on Videoshop with a few other editing apps for things such as green screen masking, more text transitions, and some other small capabilities. But other than that Videoshop is stupendous. It was worth every cent I paid so long ago (what I remember being < ~$5). However, seeing the drastic price change (really $80!?) makes me sad and a bit nervous.
I’ve transferred phones before and worried about my main video editing app being changed. But all worked out, pro features were still available but if I delete Videoshop will my privileges be revoked? If I make an account right now on this app will I still be pro or...?
I really hope I hear word back... Please keep up the good work!

this app is by far the best video editor app I’v ever used. I have but only a few minor flaws with Videoshop . 1. I think they should add more music tracks like maybe cinematic music or movie trailer music because I’m really in to making those. 2. Make the store for this app bigger. There are a lot of memes that still haven’t been added there yet that we could use. 3. Maybe add some special effect into Videoshop . Think about it. You can add explosions, aliens, monsters, lighting, power beams, anything that you can just put in there that can make your video or movie more exciting. We already have the sound affects now add the special. Maybe people that work for Videoshop can possibly see this review and slip this suggested stuff into their amazing app to make it even better. Other than that I love everything else in this app the way it is. If your reading this review and you have iPhone the $1.99 is definitely worth it for Videoshop. I have changed my review to 5 stars after thinking about how good this app is.

by The Huge Big Fat Update

Videoshop is extremely good for editing videos, but there are a few things that they really need to add, for example; the biggest thing I think should be added is the ability for the videos you make to be automatically in iCloud storage and not on your iPhone anymore because whenever I make a video with it and try to save it, it fails a lot of times because I don’t have enough storage mostly because the video is already using up storage on my phone from the this app app. and since it has to save it to the phone’s storage again, it’s using two times as much and since my iPhone has 32 GB it fails to save a lot and I have to delete a ton of stuff. also a nice feature would be when you do the picture in picture tool (or whatever it’s called) there should be the option to make the picture in the picture transparent.
another super annoying thing is that it doesn’t warn you when you’re saving a video and then it’s going to fail, the only thing it does is says that you have low disc space and then you have to wait so long just to fail

This is surely, truly, the best if not the greatest app to edit or record videos. Love it and I'm sure others will too

The message above was an old message I posted and that feeling hasn’t changed, although, much like one user had wrote, I too had the pro access before this upgrade. I understand ever since I downloaded the company has been without a doubt tremendously growing and that is without a surprise. With the amazing features and accessibility, and simple usage is remarkable, yet despite all that, paying for something I already had since day is something I will not do. If there’s anyway I can maintain full access to all features, I would very much appreciate that. Otherwise thank you guys at this app for developing this amazing and enjoyable app for all editors. It has helped me accomplish a lot of videos throughout my school years and I am sure many more will have the same experience I’ve had with this app. For those who are reading this, IT IS WORTH IT!!
