  • App offers a variety of transition timing and effects including dissolve, random, fade, slide and wipe.
  • Easily share videos directly to social media accounts.
  • Try premium effects before unlocking the feature. This novel approach lets the user experience premium features without an upgrade but won’t actually be applied in the free version of the app.
  • Upgrade to Vixer premium ($39.99/year) for unlimited access to all music, filters, frames, adjustments and fonts, and to merge multiple videos as well as export 4K videos.

Cons

  • Vixer is only available on iOS at the time of this review.
  • Fonts, adjustments and editing features are very limited in the free app (for example, only three fonts in the free version).
  • Though not as sleek, there are less expensive video editing options on the market.

Bottom Line: Vixer offers a fast and smooth editing experience with lots of options in the premium version. Worth the upgrade if you’ll be editing lots of photos for social media, Vixer offers an excellent user experience.
