Mobile editing with stylus. Is it worth it?

[lokatmo4]

I mostly shoot short videos + photos on the go. Some recent phones offer a stylus to improve precision editing.
Does it noticeably improve the workflow (e.g., frame adjustments, masking)? Or is finger touch good enough these days?

WAAAAAY better. Especially on smaller screens. But only the active stylus type, not the 'passive' ones like the foam-tip ones (that basically just emulate your finger).

 

[me just saying]

don't have to worry about fat fingers doing their own thing.

Yeah, totally worth it if you edit regularly. I’ve been using a stylus for mobile video editing and it makes trimming and layering way smoother than using fingers. The learning curve is short but the accuracy is a big win.
