Adobe Premiere Clip: FREE
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! Student Project Page

This is my favorite free collage app because it is easy to use and includes text, stickers (great for behind text), and you can get photos from the camera, your photo library, and the web!
