Software for video editing

[Brian Gimbli]

Which video editing software would you recommend? Struggling to find the one, not for all money. Any experience, mates?

You may be interested in this article Best free video editing software 2020. I don't do much in the way of video editing. I downloaded the first one, HitFilm Express, which seemed to work ok for me. VLC also has video and audio conversion capabilities.

Thanks!) I hope in this six free programs I will find a one for me.

Finding a video editor is a very personal process. Professionals use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos all the time, but those are commercial solutions in the $2K price range. On the lower/free end, I can only suggest checking a good website for alternatives https://wave.video. I use it permanently now.

For beginning you can go out with Vegas Pro. It will help you with all the basic matters.
If you want something more advanced you should try Premiere Pro.
Good luck

I currently use 90-day free trail of Final Cut Pro. If you have a mac and just need to use video editors recently, it deserves you to give it a try.
Otherwise, you may try to use what James suggested: Hitfilm, VSDC, iMovie, Davinci Resolve, VideoPad and Shotcut. Among the six, iMovie (mac) is the easiest tool, and Davinci Resolve is the hardest.
For windows user, you can use Windows Movie Maker or Openshot. Windows Movie Maker is Windows built in app which has similar functions as iMovie. Openshot is weaker than Shotcut, but more customizable than iMovie or WMM.
The editing logic of VSDC is a bit different from ordinary NLE editors, but they use well designed icon which is friendly enough for newbibs.
I never used VideoPad, so can't share my experience with it. Another post of top 6 free editing editors I found may also help you choose the best bet.
Last I want to share a youtuber, Jack cole, he made many practical review on freewares, like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgqMwiLw8ms&t=293s
You can take a reference.
