Read full description

Useful Video Editor is a simple video editing app that lets you import multiple videos, keep only the parts you need, and export them as one finished video. Import videos from Photos or Files, preview them, and adjust the start point and the length you want to use. You can trim unwanted parts from the beginning or end, split a video at a chosen point, or delete clips you do not need before merging. It is useful when you want to combine short videos, remove unwanted parts from a recording, or rearrange several clips into one video. In addition to the full preview, each video and each clip has its own individual preview. You can check each part in place while editing without scrolling through the whole project to find it. Clip order can be changed with the up and down buttons. You can also save the current editing state, load it later, and continue from where you left off. When editing is finished, export the merged video and save it to Photos.
