What are the best video editing softwares?

video editing software at best buy image

Sam S

I would like to know what is the best free video editing software and bought software is. I'm in the 100 dollar range. I'm SICK of movie-maker (it's a hunk of junk even when used properly. unless you're making a simple collage or something.) I guess I'm really asking what the best movie making software is. But a video editor (like to crop and cut in images and such) would be great too.

Answer
I asked the same question about a week ago
So far I've tried:
Sony Veags=good but complicated
CyberLink Power Director=excellent still trying
Corel Video Director=excellent but froze up a few times..
Adobe Premier = Excellent but complicated

I've downloaded the free trial of pinnacle and i'm trying that one right now
they all cost under $100 or around
and i've used mostly this site called TopTen Reviews (link below)
All in all I have to say CyberLInk Power Director is pretty impresive although I haven't tried Pinnacle just yet....Hope That help...Ren

What video editing software should I buy?

I bought a GoPro Hero video camera last year and have a bunch of skiing video that I would like to make a short movie out of. This is just for fun, but I don't want the movie to look like crap. Currently all my video clips have been collecting metaphorical dust for a year and I want to make good use of them. I really know nothing about video editing software. Is there anything that is under $80, somewhat easy to use, and has a ton of cool features? Something sort of like iMovie but for a PC.

Answer
When it comes to video editing, "cool features" and "easy to use" are mutually exclusive. If you have one, you're not going to have the other. Keep your eyes on the prize and accept the fact that if you want cool features, you're going to have to spend some time hiking up the old learning curve.

Also, with GoPro videos, keep MPEG StreamClip in mind. It's what those "in the know" use to convert GoPro clips.

Just about all software is on sale right now and will be on sale through December.

Power Director has a number of different editions to choose from.

Corel's Video Studio Pro Ultimate is on sale (for the same price I paid for the upgrade version last summer:-( This is a huge program that includes a number of high-end plugins, including Boris Graffiti that you can use to make 3D animated titles and captions and ProDad's Vitascene, a workspace with a ton of specialized effects with multiple presets and oodles of controls. The program itself comes with a lot of transitions and effects the majority of which can be customized and key framed.

This video shows some of what you can do with Vitascene.

It's being used in Pinnacle Studio Ultimate, another editor you might consider - although it doesn't see to be on sale right now. Check Best Buy online. Best Buy has it in-store and sometimes has it marked down.

And please don't forget that you've got to have a computer that can handle a good video editor. All editors work best with at least 6 Gbs of RAM and a multi-core processor and a hard drive that can speedily move large amounts of data around without studdering and lagging. Most computers can handle the graphics - phew!
