Android gets shafted in app roundups, so here is one just for you. Real workflows, not benchmarks.

- CapCut: free, deep caption tools, runs fine on midrange Android phones. - InShot: the basics, trimming, captions, vertical export, no learning curve. - VN: a real multi-track timeline on a phone, the moment clips need more than one layer. - KineMaster: the veteran, worth comparing for keyframe-level control. - YouTube Studio: not an editor, but shows how your shorts actually perform. That is the point.

Three traps: watermarks sitting exactly where your captions go, aggressive compression that ruins text legibility, and apps that crash on two-hour recordings. Test with your actual episode length. If the DIY route gets old, ReelCut turns your episodes into finished clips for $4.99 a video.
