Video Toolbox is another online video editor on the cloud. It has free and paid services. The free users get 600 MB online space to upload and process video files. It supports most of the commonly used video formats to work with.

On Video Toolbox website, you can also record and upload your own clips through the service. The website offers tools to download remote video files using URLs.

While Video Toolbox does not offer a big deal of file storage, still you may find it handy because, unlike WeVideo and some other similar sites, Video Toolbox did not limit the length of monthly video output till I used the tool.

Magisto

Pros

  • Uses artificial intelligence to analyze videos to command emotional response
  • Supports video, image and audio file uploads
  • Offers mobile apps for iOS and Android

Cons

  • Downloading exported clips is only available to paid users
  • Output videos can be significantly shorter because of auto editing by its so called artificial intelligence technology

Magisto uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze your uploaded contents and then suggests video edits to get the most sensible clip. You can use its free version to process total 15 minutes of videos (up to 10 clips totaling maximum 500MB, 10 photos). The output result will be shorter because the Magisto system will ‘analyze’ the contents and retain only the most emotional/important parts.

Just upload your videos and photos, select a style for the output clip, upload/choose a soundtrack from Magisto and finally give it a title before saving. You can watch them from ‘My Movies’ or ‘My Albums’ sections.
