And believe me I've virtually tried them all, or at least the best of the bunch.

You get users who praise apps that really only trim video files, and add very basic effects. No, I'm talking about a proper video editing apps with a scrolling 'timeline', with realtime rendered playback preview of effects, texts and transitions.

The only one's that come remotely close are 'VideoPad Pro' and 'Clesh', Clesh is a great cloud editing system but it's a little basic but I'm sure this will improve. VideoPad feels the closest to a PC type UI, but seems to struggle slightly playing back in realtime on what is a powerful Sony flagship phone, 'TrakAx MovieExpress' is a known PC editing suit, but it's Android UI clunky, and not intuitive, also realtime playback is really bad.

The Android original 4.3 version 'Video editor' is also not a smooth candidate, but it has a few effects, transitions and a basic text feature.

Basically they all suffer very limiting 'title' and 'text' functions, some allowing a single font style, some with no text manipulation at all.

So those video editing software developers out there, come on, start producing something in the realms on iOS I Movie, and Reel Director, Android phones should well be able support apps of this quality.

Just needed to have this moan..... After all. it is Christmas.

Happy Christmas
