Magisto Video Editor For Android Review
Magisto is a renowned quick video creation app available for both iOS and Android. Unlike all other apps, it has a fully featured web version too.
In this review, you are going to find out how to use the Magisto app on Android.

You can get this app on Android Play Store. Search for Magisto and, there you go!
After the installation, you will be asked to log in. If you don’t want to give your details to a new app, you can skip the step and remain as a guest.
Understanding the Interface
A guest screen will welcome. If you choose to sign in, you’ll see your Avatar and details.
The app screen is divided into four tabs. The first one is the home screen where you see popular movies created using the app. you can follow video creators and receive notifications when new videos are uploaded. The second tab gives you featured channels and collections. The third one displays your albums and the fourth is your profile.
On the guest tab, you’ll can see a “Find Friends” button – this will connect you to your Facebook friends who use Magisto.
Taking Hold of the Settings Panel
Every option on the Settings panel is easy to navigate and understand.
The options are divided into different categories: Account Info, Social Settings, Notifications (limited in free version), Video Settings, About, Settings and Application Info.
Apart from the usual video editing stuff, I found Save to Google Drive, Guest Mode, and Surprise Me features to be interesting. If you enable the latter, you will be surprised by the automatic video creation of Magisto using the photos and videos available in your gallery.

Step 1: You’ll find a ‘+’ icon on each tab of the app. Tapping it to begin creating a video.

Unlike any other mobile video editor, Magisto has a web version where you can carry out the same (if not more advanced) tasks like a cakewalk.

Soon after you log in, every link will become usable, and you can use it as the Android application.
