I used to make videos for YouTube but it's been a while. I used to use vsdc video editor. I think it's one of the best. So, you might wanna try that out. And that is a bit rude I guess.
He was asking us to compare different softwares for him but didn't include the options that he was looking at. If he can clarify that, I would be happy to give my take.
-If you want a Premier competitive, known for colour grading but specialised in video editing integrated with motion graphics feature, then go for Dvincie Resolve -Easy to use can be Openshot, Kdenlive, Windows movie maker.
I use windows movie maker - so simple. They discontunied it a few years ago though so you have to get it from a 3rd party website rather than microsoft directly.
I'm not sure that is what he meant. I think he meant which one is the best of the ones that are out there.
Davinci Resolve. There's a paid version that's a little under $300, but there's also a free version, and it's really not very limited. I've been editing with Premiere for years, but recently tried out the free version of Davinci Resolve, and I've discovered I can basically do everything I did with Premiere, but for free.
I use windows movie maker, which is free and really really easy to use. It can't do everything some other programs can do though, so it depends on what kind of stuff you are planning to do with it. Works well for my purposes.
Free video editors you can try out: https://portableapps.com/apps/music_video The portable app version makes it easy to try it out & delete later (skips PC installation). Hope that helps.
Video editing is my new hobby, I used a windows movie maker but now I would like to add more unique effects, I wanted to make a VHS effect for my videos.
As for me, movie maker is already outdated, you can try a more modern video editor such as Movavi https://www.movavi.com/ ,you can do any video manipulation as well as the effects you need.
