Paid Video Editors
Pinnacle Studio $12.99
This is my favorite video editing app. "Pinnacle Studio for iPad gives you the power to do more than any other video-editing app. Easily access all the media on your device—or external devices via the iPad Camera Connection Kit. Capture video and photos from within the app. Enjoy the
most precise control—from frame-by-frame trimming and flexible audio editing, to customizing motion graphics and picture-in-picture effects."
Web Site http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Pinnacle+Studio+for+iPad.html
*Tips: Triple click a video clip to separate the video from the audio. Always save your titling for the last because it requires rendering.
iMovie $4.99
I love the movie trailer function in this cleanly designed iPad app. "Make beautiful HD movies anywhere with iMovie, the fast and fun moviemaking app that puts everything you need to tell your story at your fingertips. Browse and play projects in the Marquee view. Create spectacular trailers and thrilling home movies in minutes.* And share your finished projects with the world — right from iMovie"

Free Video Editors

Turn the clips you shoot with your iOS device into videos that look and sound incredible. Then, share them on your favorite social channels, or sync them to Adobe Creative Cloud to take them further in Premiere Pro CC. This is an easy to use video editor with a handful of unique features. I love the fact that you can start by building storycards to plan your project and then shoot from that plan. But the coolest feature is the fact that when you logon with your Adobe ID your videos live in the cloud. This allows you to shoot with any iOS device and then edit your footage on the larger iPad. Just think of the collaborative video projects we could do across the country or even around the world!
Vimeo FREE (you will need to setup an account at www.vimeo.com to upload your videos to their hosting service)
