We needed a free iPad video editor for a project in 7th grade.  Most iPad video editors say "free", but require fees to unlock necessary features or to support videos over a minute long.  Cute CUT is a full featured video editor.  The free version has a small Cute Cut watermark in the bottom right-hand corner (very tasteful and unobtrusive).  You can get rid of the watermark if you upgrade to the Pro version.  Click on the image the the right for a full description:
