Free Video Editing Software?

<< < (2/2)

Amazing responses !! THANK YOU. I've decided to try my hand at all these suggestions and see if one works better with my (limited) brain and (limited) video skills. So far the first suggestion, ShotCut, is really impressive.  I also found one from NCH that is free to home users, and I use to use their WavPad program a lot for audio, but this one felt a little "clumsy" (for lack of better words) to me.

For those using REAPER for audio there's a useful video editing capability included these days.

I've done blog posts on both Shotcut http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2017/08/06/can-shotcut-cut-a-lampg-video/ and Hitfilm http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2017/09/06/lampg-video-in-hitfilm-express-2017/ and both programs have been enhanced since my look at them.

^ Thanks for the suggestion on Hitfilm.

I already have Resolve which I love, but it's overkill for some work.

This looks really nice for simple edits where I don't need to color grade (maybe it does it, but I'd still use Resolve for that)...but the big thing is it looks like it does 360 video, which Resolve doesn't do.

The only thing I've found that does 360 is Premiere and I'd prefer not to buy any software since I don't do a ton of video.

Hitfilm looks like it will run on a lower grade machine too. I think that is probably the best option if you don't have a $400+ video card and are just doing basic edits.

On Mac, I have yet to exhaust the possibilities in the included iMovie - but I like to keep things simple and not clutter my computer and brain - others may feel it is limited.
Only time I deviate is to create my graphics in Keynote (to export them as movies with transparent background for use as overlay in the video)

GREAT IDEA! THANK YOU!

Hey everyone! I totally get the struggle of finding good free video editing software. One option that I've found pretty awesome is Hit Film Express. It's got a lot of powerful features and a user-friendly interface, which makes it great for beginners. Besides Hit Film Express, there are a few other options worth checking out. One is Shotcut, which is known for its simplicity and wide range of features. Another popular choice is OpenShot, which offers a user-friendly interface and supports multiple platforms. For those who prefer a cloud-based solution, WeVideo is a great option with its intuitive editing tools. Choose a video editor based on your preferences and needs.
