1. CapCut (free): the best free mobile editor, period. Auto-captions, 9:16 templates, direct TikTok export. No AI moment-finding, but everything else is there. 2. VN Video Editor (free): multi-track timeline with keyframing, no watermark. For creators who outgrew auto-tools. 3. YouCut (free): simple trim, captions, and 9:16 export without a watermark on the base tier. 4. Opus Clip (web app): runs fine in a mobile browser. Upload the podcast, get AI-ranked clips, download them. 5. Captions (freemium): AI captions and talking-head reframing built for vertical video. Sources: FFmpeg, HandBrake The honest Android workflow: let Opus Clip or Vizard find the moments on desktop web, then polish in CapCut on your phone. Or skip the app juggling entirely: ReelCut is a done-for-you clipping service at $9.99 one-time per video. Upload the podcast, get finished Shorts back.
