Video editing program recommendation
« on: May 11, 2021, 02:20:55 pm »
What’s a free program that’s easy to use?

I got Blender but it’s so freaking hard to figure out and properly use. Big headache.

I asked and heard about Gom Mix and Pot Encoder. Anyone with experience on those?

What do you use? What would you recommend?

Seconding Davinki. Pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it and a decent amount of features for a free program.

I use Filmora. You can use it for free or I paid $50 once and have it for life without the watermark on my videos. It's not perfect, there's some little things I've noticed that aren't as user-friendly as other basic editing softwares, but now I'm used to it.

I use VSDC. Great for adding animated objects, green screening, composite videos, etc, and also does all the basic stuff as well.

The free version has limitations on features (most notable for me: no masking) and stuff, but the annual sub is pretty inexpensive.

I use Movavi. Free to try, but not expensive either if you choose to buy (50,000 won). Good amount of features with a fairly intuitive interface that is both friendly to amateurs and sophisticated enough for intermediate editors.

Having said that, there are definitely limitations that industry professionals would find irritating. But for making a simple video, documentary, or even a music video (just be forewarned that you can't collage clips super creatively), I've found it to be functional enough.

Adobe Premiere (for editing) alongside After Effects if you need to do any animating.
Hella easy for beginners and it's what pretty much all smaller production studios used when I was working in my field as a video editor.
