InShot review

InShot is the friendliest full editor here for people who want to add music to photos without a learning curve. Its App Store listing names birthday and anniversary videos as core uses and documents music, sound effects, voice-overs and voice effects, plus transitions and effects such as Glitch, Fade and Beats. Trim, split and merge tools, speed control from 0.1x to 100x, keyframe animation and stickers cover the rest, and the collage maker takes up to 20 photos with 500+ layouts if you also want a still image. AI tools add captions, text-to-speech and photo enhancement. Videos save in 4K at 60fps. It holds a 4.8 rating from 2.5 million US ratings. Pricing is flexible: InShot Pro costs $4.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $49.99 for life, though ad removal ($3.99) and some effect packs are sold separately.
