So what video editing applications will help you? Here are the 10 best video editing applications for PCs and laptops in 2021. Keep in mind, we also include one application that can only be accessed on Mac/Apple Devices, so it’s not completely PC for Windows.

10. Sony Vegas Pro (Vegas Pro Only)

Sony Vegas Pro is not a new name in the world of video editing. The application which has been named Vegas Pro only because the license has been purchased. MAGIX This software is a professional video editing application with multi-track video and audio. You can stack more than 5 videos and audio in Vegas Pro. Not using the subscription or subscription feature is one of its advantages, although on the other hand, MAGIX Software also offers this feature for those of you who don’t want to pay $400 to buy the software.

9. Pinnacle Studio

Pinnacle Studio has a variety of editing presets. You can edit videos like a professional video editor in a very easy way, just paste it and it’s done. 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. Especially for those of you who are just learning.

8. Cyberlink PowerDirector

The second application that made me fall in love more personally with the world of video editing after Windows Movie Maker (I didn’t include it because it wasn’t in Windows 10). Although the edits do depend on the sense of each editor, Cyberlink PowerDirector has a variety of features that you need in video editing. Convenience is one of the keys with the templates they have provided.

7. Lightworks

Lightworks is a video editing application that is also very commonly used in most Hollywood films. Interestingly, the free version offered has almost all the features it has. The limitation given to the free version of Lightworks is the export of video files that are only web-compatible in 720p resolution. The subscription fee is also not that big of a wallet at around $30 including tax. Unfortunately there are no price adjustments and packages for other regions. But for those of you who want to buy it permanently, it looks like you have to prepare around 7-8 million rupiah. The difference if you buy a permanent one is that there are no major updates that they implement.

6. Apple Final Cut Pro X (Mac Only)

You Apple users obviously don’t know Final Cut Pro X. This application is widely used by professional video editors with just one purchase, unlike Adobe Premiere Pro, which requires a subscription. Unfortunately it is only available on Apple/Mac only. Its Magnetic Timeline features, grouping tools, and various effects make it the easiest to conquer the hearts of video editors. It does not include integration features with other Apple applications, one of which is iTunes.

5. DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve has the advantage of color grading with very immersive in-depth color grading. You can trim video and audio, add 2D or 3D animation, and other effects. It has very rich features with a very intuitive interface. Makes it clear that you will automatically fall in love with this one video editing application.

4. Wondershare Filmora

Wondershare Filmora is divided into two types: beginners and professionals. Those of you who want convenience can activate the Easy Mode feature. The convenience is like an ordinary video editing application, complete with several effects that will be easy to implement. It also has direct integration into YouTube or Facebook so you can upload directly to both platforms. Unfortunately, you need to pay for the application if you want to save your files to your PC.

3. Corel Video Studio

The application that is closest to a professional video editing application. Corel Video Studio comes with some easy presets with its incredibly rich templates. It can also create transparent background video effects with a few clicks. With easy masking, no one will realize that you are actually using an application that is very easy to manipulate.

2. Hitfilm Express

A video editing application that can be said to be your introduction to a professional video editing application. Hitfilm Express has basic editing features such as trimming (cut), and audio editing with visual effects / VFX that will encourage you to learn more about it. It is teased with approximately 180 VFX provided. Those of you who want to enjoy more features can buy the pro version.

1. Adobe Premiere Pro

Personally, Adobe Premiere Pro is the application I use until now for video editing. Indeed, at first glance it seems difficult to use because this video editing application is designed for professionals. But if you’re used to operating Photoshop, it doesn’t seem like it will take you long to learn this application. It has a lot of manual customization with a variety of effects that can be applied. You can even create new effects from the combination of effects provided. Creativity is your ninja way when using this application.

Those are our 10 best video editing apps for PCs and laptops in 2021. We hope that you can use it as a reference to express your creative ideas. Of course, all video results will be determined by the editor, not the application. Because video editing applications are not magic that can change them in an instant. Just like using Unreal Engine 4, the graphics of the game are definitely good, no, that’s not the concept. All back to holding.
