Feature description
I think it would be nice if we could do some basic video editing, like trimming start and end (maybe even without re-encoding), rescale to reduce size, maybe add watermark or text, etc.
Why do you want this feature?
When I open a video in Gallery, I am given the option to edit it. But when I try to do so, I am told there is no valid app to do that.
Additional information
I think it should be possible to find a free video editing library that would make it relatively simple to add this editing feature. ffmpeg comes to mind, but there might be other and maybe better alternatives.
@lianergoist Why have you closed that feature request? It's not a duplicate of what I've linked above, it was just a discussion about reverting video and image editors.
Trim and crop and the only things I would need, as it can be useful with screen recordings. Having this capability built-in would be better than having to find a third-party app. The ability to reduce size can also be useful if you need to send videos by email.
Yes, we need a video editor! Nothing too complicated. Just trimming, cropping, maybe even text and filters. That sort of thing.
In the meantime, you can use Open Source Video Editor for simple edits on Android here : https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.devhyper.openvideoeditor/
