The only upside is that there's no ads. Other than that, it's basically just putting one clip after another. Maybe this style works for some Youtubers, but definitely not all of them. You can't even add transparent images as overlay or keyframing. It's a good concept, I think an official Youtube editing software is a great idea, but until it gets more updates, I'm gonna stick to other software.

It's a very nice app, especially for the free captions, and it being 100% free. You can also upload to YouTube without even going on the app itself, making it very useful. Not to mention the wide variety of stickers which are very useful. My one complaint is that for the captions you have to use one of their fonts (a few hundred choices) instead of being able to upload your own.

I've been using this as my primary editing software. But I've recently run into a problem. Every time I make it to a certain spot within my editing. The app freezes and then kicks me out. Causing me to go back in and then get kicked out at the same spot. It worked fine last night, so I don't know what's wrong. I've already edited 4 other videos before this trimming them down from 2 and 3 hours to a more consumable amount. But for some reason,this video, with is only 2ish hours long, keeps dying.
