Adobe Express Video Alternatives

Adobe Express Video has an Android app and web editor for making videos with templates, stock media, trimming, effects, collaboration and social publishing. On the free tier, videos can run for up to 30 minutes; Premium extends the maximum to two hours. These alternatives take different approaches. Some focus on AI-generated video, slideshows, transcript-based audio editing, poster creation or simple exports rather than Adobe Express's broad content and social tools.
