Beginner

7. Windows Movie Maker (Not in Windows 10)

This is my first application when I was having fun editing videos, but my PC/laptop was still very slow. Windows Movie Maker is a free application that comes with Microsoft Windows. The features are very simple, you can cut videos, give text, and some transitions and animations that have been provided. Very suitable for those of you who are first learning video editing and know what can be done from video editing applications. But keep in mind, this application does not exist in Windows 10 because Microsoft has stopped its support. So, if you find a site that provides it, don’t believe it because many people claim that Windows Movie Maker for Windows 10 it actually brings bad luck.

6. Avidemux Video Editor

Well, if you missed it, try a video editing application Windows Movie Maker because you already use Windows 10, you can use it Avidemux Video Editor. The features are practically the same as the default Windows video editing application. Moreover, the simple tools such as trimming, encoding, and filtering make it really easy for you to edit videos without having to read the manual.

5. Camtasia Studio

Camtasia is an application that is very suitable for those of you who really want to make tutorials on a PC. This application comes with a screen recorder application that you can use to record tutorials and video games. But I don’t recommend recording video games because it will require extraordinary PC resources and is quite heavy. While the editing application is quite comparable to other beginner editing applications with several existing presets.

4. Pinnacle Studio

The first time I got to know this application, I immediately fell in love because of the many editing presets. Pinnacle Studio can spur the creative features in my brain to a higher level. It gives you the ability to edit videos like a pro but not complicated. Just paste, give effect, done. Many of its features include masking in the latest version. I recommend this video editing application for those of you who want to find an easy one with lots of presets that are not messy.

3. Corel VideoStudio

Just like some of the previous apps, Corel Video Studio This is probably one of the video editing applications that is probably closest to a professional video editing application. It comes with a number of easy, no-fuss presets complete with incredibly rich templates. In fact, this video editing application can make a transparent background video with just a few clicks, which would be a bit complicated if you did it in a professional video editing application. He also has masks that are very easy to implement, complete with color grading that will make you look like a professional video editor. Nobody knows if you actually use an application that is very easy to manipulate.

2. Cyberlink Power Director

In fact Cyberlink Power Director This is the application that I tried after trying all the applications above. The thing that made me continue to use it when I was in college was that this video editing application has a simple, lightweight appearance, and the edits can also be compared to professionals. On the other hand, my potato laptop is very accepting of the presence of this application even though it used to have a bluescreen after rendering. Just like other applications, it also has various presets. It’s just that, all the edited videos go back to your own creativity, considering that there aren’t so many presets that they provide.

1. Wondershare Filmora

Actually, this free video editing application has two types: for beginners and professionals. Those of you who don’t want to be bothered can activate the feature Easy Mode in Wondershare Filmora let the advanced features hide. The convenience is like an ordinary video editing application, complete with several effects that will be easy to implement. Integration into YouTube or Facebook makes the videos you edit can be directly uploaded to both platforms. Unfortunately, you need to pay for the application if you want to save your files to your PC.

Professional

4. Sony Vegas Pro (Now Vegas Pro)

This is the first most complicated application I’ve ever tried after feeling pro with Windows Movie Maker. From here I know the difference between video editing applications for professionals and beginners. In fact though Sony Vegas Pro this is my gateway to the realm of professional video editing. This app has a lot of freedom. The application currently named Vegas Pro only because it has been licensed by MAGIX. The software has a lot of real-time multitrack video and audio that allows you to stack more than 5 videos and audio at once. The effects provided are also for professionals. It allows you to create various effects from one or two of the provided effects. Yes, this application is an alternative for those of you who are not strong with Adobe subscriptions.

3. HitFilm Express

HitFilm Express This is a video editing application that can be said to be your introduction to a professional video editing application. Why? Because he has a free and paid version with the name HitFilm Pro. It has basic editing features such as trimming (cut), and audio editing. This application is designed for those of you who want to look pro in visual effects or VFX with approximately 180 special effects that have been provided. You can also add animations or 3D models to your videos.

2. DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve this is very superior color grading that he has. Unlike other professional video editing applications, it has very immersive in-depth color grading. You can cut video and audio, to add 2D or 3D animation. Its very rich features with a very intuitive interface might make you fall in love with this one video editing application. Unfortunately, not all tutorials available for this application are free, although there are some on YouTube.

1. Adobe Premiere Pro

Well, this is the video editing application that I have used until now, including when I edited all Gamebrott videos, both Weekly CASE, Game Recommended Videos, and other Gamebrott videos. If you are too familiar with Adobe applications, then you will be very easy to understand and know the shortcuts used. This is because almost all shortcuts have buttons that are more or less the same. Just like other professional video editing applications, Adobe Premiere Pro give you the freedom to be creative. All the effects provided are very standard but you can make new transitions of your own style, mask videos, and even create your own opening animation.

This application can also be combined with several other Adobe applications, such as After Effects namely the video composition application that I usually use to make opening animations, the text that often appears in Gamebrott videos, to the outro, audition edit the audio so that the noise disappears and give effects like radio sound, etc., until Photoshop/Illustrator. It sounds practical and easy at first glance, but if you can’t master some of its features, you have to experiment with new effects for this app often. Or simply, just go to YouTube for tutorials. Lots of free tutorials for Adobe Premiere Pro. Unfortunately, this application is heavy and requires a capable PC for editing high-resolution videos.

So, how is it? Have you decided which app is right for you? Or maybe you have other application recommendations? You can choose one of the applications above. Good or bad videos don’t depend on the application you use, but how creative you are to make something grand, interesting, or entertaining a lot of people or certain circles. Choose an application that is also suitable, if you are comfortable with it Filmora yes, keep using it.
