VN: Photo & Video Editor

The app is an amazing editor. I love how much flexibility there is, even on just the mobile version. The one problem I have sometimes is that, after I close my work, I’ll open the project later and the work is gone. When this happens, which is rarely, I’ve found that if I hit undo and then redo a few times, the missing work comes back. The difficulty about that is it’s created a question mark that looms over any work I’m doing, because I’ve dreaded the instance in which my undo/redo trick finally doesn’t seem to bring back the lost material and effort. And, that finally did happen this morning unfortunately, or so it seems anyway, unless someone knows a fix —undo/redo is not bringing back some stuff that was missing when I reopened one of my project files, so I guess the work might be lost. My appreciation of the app is not lost, however, as I do feel that, all things considered, it’s still really pretty great and overall I’ve made really good use of it. But I do wish I could restore this work I’ve lost this morning, and that I could know how to avoid this hiccup for future projects.

I came to this app from using CapCut for a while now, and I think it’s a decently good app. It’s mostly free, and you don’t have to pay for a lot of the different stickers and things like that. Just one issue: I mainly use video editing software for making edits with fancy transitions, altering the music in the background, and a bunch of other techniques, and I found that this app doesn’t exactly have a lot of options regarding that type of work. A few recommendations would be to add more ways to edit the audio, like filters and different ways you could change the sound, as well as transitions for the stickers themselves instead of just an abrupt cut of them off the screen. It would also be nice to have more ways to change the videos or pictures in a project, like for example, the way that CapCut allows you to add little bursts of fire or starbursts to introduce a new clip. The transitions between the clips right now are okay, but if you could make them in a way where you can move them around the project as if it were a sticker, that would be helpful. Also, I’d really like to have a drawing tool of some sort, I keep having to switch between apps just to get a drawing tool, and it’s really annoying. A drawing tool would improve this app drastically. There’s another thing, more animated stickers and animated frames. I feel that more moving parts to add to projects would really make this app great.

So, I really do feel as if this app could be really good. After CapCut being banned, I turned to this. The only real complaint that I have is that I can’t find the effects. If the jitter and filters are supposed to be effects, then it really won’t be adequate enough for edits that I want to do. Could you please tell me if there are actual effects? Update: After a little bit of usage with VN, I have made multiple edits with this. This app does NOT make up for CapCut, and I am beginning to miss CapCut a lot. There are no effects, and I use VLLO to add all the effects- and with its limited supply of effects, all my edits look the exact same. What may slightly make up for CapCut would be offering the option of a “Flow 2”-like graph or offering custom graphs. What I mean by Flow 2, is that, let’s say that there are 6 beats, divided into 3 layers of zoom. 1 zoom is normal photo size, 2 is medium above average, and 3 is high. Beat 1, 1 zoom. Beat 2, 3, 4, and 5, 2 zoom. Beat 6, 3 zoom. I have been forced to use Circ graph and it does not flow as smoothly. If VN can make normal effects as such, I believe that they can add other effects originally from CapCup, like Jumpy Film, Flow 2, Play Pendulum, or Rebound Swing. This app is not as good as CapCut, and you will honestly not find a good replacement for it.
