Editing Software

[gbola]

so i have started filming this year, and I have mainly been editing with imovie cause its free and easy to you. looking to take editing to the next step. looking for a more advanced software than imovie thats rather cheap and pretty easy to use because im still a beginer. and what is the best way to learn to use a new software?

Davinci Resolve...... It's free, there is a version of it you pay for but you are just missing out on a few different things, some effects and noise reduction but the free version is very good and the cross over between other software isn't that drastic.

I use premiere mainly because of my job but I color correct/grade in Resolve.

Premiere is the top of the line software, the whole suite that comes with lightroom, photoshop, after effects, premiere, exct. costs me like 20$ a month (college student) and its just an epic software package. It has a decent learning curve but way worth it.

Final Cut Pro is pretty good as well, I tried it for a while but like premiere better..haven't used it in a few years maybe its better now who knows?

hard no, final cut is barely a step up from imovie at this point

I will say again especially since they just updated it.....

DAVINCI RESOLVE 14 beta, the full version is now only 300 bucks as well. It's smooth when editing anything 1080 but struggles a bit with 4K footage but for being either free or 300 bucks it can't be beat. Blackmagic is stepping up their game and if you are looking for a very good free software this is it.

currently trying davinci resolve free version, totally love it and very advanced for being free, a little more oriented towards color grading than editing bu still worth giving a try before you pay for something else.

You can easily download a lot of editing software for free safely. Just look up "How to download *insert software here* for free" on YouTube, click the one with the highest amount of views/likes, and follow the steps.

My personal favorite is Sony Vegas Pro, mostly because I find it generally easy to use, and has nice controls/shortcuts, but I think that's because I'm used to it. Adobe Premiere is nice because After Effects and such is integrates nicely with it, but when I tried to switch, I couldn't stand the controls and shortcuts (I know you can change shortcuts, but it's just a lil' annoying).
