The pro version is widely used by industry professionals, but there's a free version that has is still very fully featured and yet still relatively intuitive to use. One to get use to I think, but quite effective.ĭavinci Resolve - For the first version of this article, I had discounted this product because I'd read it was powerful but also memory hungry, Encouraged by the comments, I thought I would give it a go, and I am glad that I did. However, there’s also a way to add fades to the clip itself which made a nice effect. You can drag transitions onto the timeline, but they just didn’t work as they should for me. A slightly more friendly design, though still a little counter intuitive in parts. Openshot – Free, open source and award winning video editor. Overall, seems well featured and did a decent job without requiring a paid for version. That filter however, allows the audio to be keyframed meaning it’s easy to fade it up and down if you need to – a feature I struggled to find on the others (though no doubt it’s there somewhere). Relatively easy to use but some quirks that took a while to get used to (transitions aren’t that easy to work out, and the audio tools struggled to balance the background music until I found an additional filter to apply). Kdenlive – Fully featured open source video editor. Can’t export without buying it, and it’s around £70. A bit fiddly with the fades, and I’ve not got the hang of zooming in and out. VideoPad – This is the one that was advertised on the Video Pix site and is not that bad. I gave up after trying for about 10 minutes to apply the to actions (which are confusingly called transparencies) - fade in and fade out to the clips. Even with just 5 mins of video, trying to apply a fade to a clip kept switching context and zooming out to the whole 5 mins, meaning I had to zoom back in to see the 2s I was trying to work with. VSDC – Looked promising with the kinds of timelines ands layers I’d expect but despite the familiar layout I really struggled with this one. I couldn’t even get it to work with two clips at once! Doesn’t help that their website os full of an ad for a different video editor that looks far better. I’m very far from being in love with this awful piece of software. Videopix Movie Maker – ‘Fall in love with Video and Photo Editor’. Wondershare Filmora 12 – Couldn’t export to YouTube the first time (said no internet when there was internet), but exports to file OK (with watermark without paying). Has some potential but so poorly executed that it can’t be trusted. Worked OK first time, didn’t load second time, couldn’t load sound clips. The AnalysisĬlipChamp – bundled with Microsoft and touted as a replacement for their Video Editor. As a backup, I liked Kdenlive and Oneshot (both free) too. Nothing is perfect, but the free version of Davinci Resolve is pretty close. My test was: create a video for upload to YouTube that has a static intro and outro screen fading into a single clip recorded with OBS Studio. So, I did some hunting around and thought I would share my findings. Microsoft pretends to have the answer, but their bundled ClipChamp is awful - plain didn't work more than once. I thought that would be the hard bit - that turning it into a video with some backing music and an intro and exit card would be easy! I'm used to a Mac, where iMovie is brilliant and simple. I've been really impressed with OBS Studio to record, including the ability to mix between different scenes and to easily share windows. I have been playing around with video recording in preparation for an exciting new project.
