Lomotif Music Video Editor is a photo and video app that allows kids to create videos and image slideshows, share them via their feed, or download and share on other social media platforms such as Instagram or Snapchat. The app requires access to the device's photos and camera to allow kids to create personalized clips. The “scene” feature lets kids search through a collection of GIFs that they can add to their clips. They can also search for songs and add them to their creation. Kids can share their clips directly with the Lomotif community and/or other social media platforms (including Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter). When sharing with the Lomotif community, children's video clips will be publicly displayed and searchable unless they check the privacy box before sharing each clip.
The “featured” feed presents users with random clips that are trending, while the “following” feed narrows down the clips to those shared by members that kids have chosen to follow. Like other social media platforms, children will be able to like and comment on material. Sexual content, profanity, and substance use frequently appear in clips or comments. Please read the developer's privacy policy for details about how your (or your children's) information is collected, used and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service change frequently .
LOMOTIF-Music Video Editor is a social media platform where kids can use the app's video editing tools, music collection, GIF and effects to create video clips or image editing. There are tutorials on how to use Lomotif in settings. This guide explains how to drag the slider to trim video, how to pinch and zoom when editing, and how to delete or copy clips. Animated stickers, text and filters are just some of the options kids can choose from when editing clips. The scratch function lets kids edit the video to mimic the sound of scratching a record. To create custom content, the app needs access to the device's photos and camera. Kids can choose to select material from the camera roll or material directly from the app.
They can also share their camera rolls with friends for them to use in videos, and vice versa. Linking Facebook, Instagram or Twitter accounts in settings allows children to get materials directly from these social media resources. All work is saved to the user's profile and can be downloaded to the device or shared.
When sharing, kids can add captions to their work and can choose to make it private by checking the “For my eyes only” box. Otherwise, the music video will be shared publicly, appear in the follower's feed, and be searchable based on the title hashtag. In the community component, kids can watch other members' video clips, find and follow friends, and share content. The synopsis presented is a reel of continuous video clips representing various materials. Kids can sort clips using hashtags, or they can type in the search box to get videos that match their interests. They can also like and comment on other people's videos, just as members can publicly like and comment on any material they post. The app does not currently provide a way to report inappropriate or offensive material.
This solid and interesting video editor has a lot of cool features that teenagers will love, but it also has a lot of adult content. Teenagers who enjoy creating content will find that Lomotif-Music Video Editor is an interesting platform full of cool ways to edit material to create original clips. It provides a very comprehensive collection of GIFs, animated stickers, filters and other editing effects. The music collection is also very important.

Popular music is listed and songs are organized by genre and theme, making it easy to filter a wide collection. Kids can play with videos or compile images to create content, which gives them more options. The scratch editing function is very interesting and can create video clips with strange movements and rhythms. The app definitely offers enough options to keep users entertained and creative. “Resource” feeds, “Follow” feeds, and the ability to search for content using hashtags also allow kids to continue to be exposed to other creative thoughts.
Sharing through Lomotif has pros and cons, depending on how comfortable the family is with social media and sharing features. The app gives kids the option to share their camera roll with friends so they can create content together, or their friends can use the material to create clips. Families' surveillance of children openly sharing their camera rolls with others makes sense, and vice versa.
Sharing to other platforms so easily can also cause some concerns for families. This is an open platform where people can express themselves freely, but some content is too risky for children or teenagers. Some clips celebrate alcohol or drug use, or are very sexy. There are no filters or oversight on comments. Profanity and hostile and/or provocative language often appear in comments. Additionally, there is no clear way to report inappropriate or related material. Overall, Lomotif-Music Video Editor is an excellent tool for creating content and playing images, but the community component is best suited for mature users who can filter out all risky material.
