Hi guys!!

I am new to the world of video editing and i wish to get more insights into what program do y'all use for video editing? Thank you!

Adobe Premiere and Final Cut (Apple Only) are the most popular. But Davinci Resolve has been the new most talked about editing software.

If you're starting you can try Davinci Resolve. Its free and getting popular even among the industry professionals.

Final Cut Pro

This is correct..

LumaFusion/FX

Sony Vegas Pro 15

Adobe Premiere, just because.

Adobe Premier

Davinci Resolve is free to a certain extent. If you want to use the denoise function you need to pay. Although it is top notch quality, it is also incredibly expensive. You can't get it pirated either.
Adobe Premiere is the better choice for beginners.

The cheapest would be final cut, then sony vegas and for adobe premier need to pay monthly fee.

I prefer Final Cut Pro

Adobe Premier Pro CS6. Good enough for beginners, but if you want more advanced stuff. After effects is your answer

started out with davinci resolve.. but then, as beginner, I had trouble finding a certain transition templates. All templates that I wanted, all were for adobe premier. So, due to that, I jumped ship to adobe premiere pro..

VideoProc

Reasons:
First of all, it is very easy for beginners.
Secondly, it can recognize all videos I throw into it.
And, it works very fast.

Thanks for the intro

Sony Vegas Pro 15...not the easiest way to start; steep learning curve, so are the other programs. Thinking of jumping to Adobe Premier or Final Cut.

i'm cheap, i use davinci resolve because it's free
not sure is my problem or not, i find it quite hard to use

previously i just filmora

after effect & imovie

I am using FinalCut. I have not met the editor better.
Before buying a MacBook, I edited a video at PinacleStudio. This is a good editor, but much less color correction. Maybe this is not particularly important for a beginner, but in the future it is better to master color correction to make the video more atmospheric.

Another free option Hit Film.

Initially I wanted to try on free Hitfilm Express which is great for special effect.

Before I began to learn it, I changed my mind and adopted Davinci Resolve (v.15). Which ended up pretty worth it.

Latest one is v.16 which has a slightly easier quick edit page.

What I like about Davinci: Its free! And very powerful. It focuses a lot on Colour correction and mod. Just learn about 30-40% of its function will be sufficient to make a decent home video. (I am using it just for home video actually).

What I don't like : Its actually quite hard to learn for a beginner. However there are tonnes of youtube video from the pro to teach beginners in many various aspect of video editing on Davinci.

It took me about a few months for me to finish editing my own travel home video. Time also included the learning phase that I need to go through amidst my busy work schedule and family time. But this is one free editing software that if you learn it, it will be the sky's the limit. Its well worth the time and effort.

can use with windows PC?

yes

Sorry I need to add that Davinci Resolve needs a fast computer with good amount of memory to make it effective. I actually have to upgrade my existing i3 intel chip to a used i7 before I can embark on the project. My Ram stays at 8GB. For colour correction, it helps to have a relatively good monitor with accurate colour reproduction.

All that for a home video.

Hit Film or iMovie

I saw this blog post sometime ago and forgot where i saved it.
Now that i have found them.
Here's a few list of video editing from paid/monthly subscription to free
with their views on advantage/disadvantage

*i personally had been from Premiere to FCP , back to premiere and pair with Resolve just for color grading.
And now on Davinci Resolve exclusively

parking

go to Davinci Resolve

no people use powerdirector?

Window Movie Maker 🙂

hahhaa i miss this...
use this alot during high school

put bunch of transition & animation to make it cool

Is there an alternative to davinci reslove? Free to use and as good as that?

with as many function and as good?...no
next alternative will be adobe premiere already which need to pay

That will be hitfilm express, which has free version as well. Both require quite a considerable learning curve.

I used to use Windows Movie maker as well when it was free. Its no longer available now in free form unfortunately.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Btw what none cloud software is good for info media that is similar to powtoon etc?

Basically combining movie and texts in a video.

TIA

Wondershare Filmora is a nice step-up from Windows Movie Maker. It has all the more advanced cut and paste options, and some cool texts, effects & transitions to add to your video.

Im using it for fast video editing. If you need a software that super simple to learn then go for powedirector. Sometimes it will be on sales through Steam. I purchased. For advance editing It's not a versatile software.

I use it even for advanced one. What software do you use for it?
