Davinci Resolve was my first editing software and been using it for like 10 months, I caught on fast and is very powerful. If you never done editing, don't be intimidated by it's power.
To everyone reading this especially to those who are working so hard to be better everyday, you can do it and everyone you rock for truing so hard like me..GOOD LUCK AND wish for all the best..!!!
I am using Camtasia. It is straightforward and has a very simple interface. I only do 1080p basic videos. I don't have to memorize 1000 commands to get something useful out. I am 71 years young, and just don't have the mental bandwidth for the Da Vinci and Adobe products. Also, changing every year would just about do me in. Doing good video is very difficult, very complex with video/audio/composition/light issues and challenges. I don't need a complex video editor to top all of that. Thanks.
I also love Camtasia's powerful simplicity. My teenage son started a YT channel, and I suggested he use Camtasia since it's extremely intuitive and completely sufficient for his needs. I prefer Filmora for my channel since it offers more color and audio adjustments. To each his own. :)
So well said. I could not agree more. The whole process from figuring out settings on the gopro to the shot choice, the script, the organizing the footage, the editing, etc...Very complicated. Sometimes...less is more!
Like others, I use Vegas Pro. Years ago I moved from audio tape editing studio, to DAW. The best was Sony Acid Pro. I use another DAW now, but, Moving ahead to digital video editing, I started using Windows Movie Maker many years ago. Pre Windows Vista. I soon discovered the limitations of that, so I went with Sony Movie Studio Platinum. It's interface was almost identical with Acid Pro. So, it just made sense, and was easy to get into. Since then, I've upgraded to (now) Magix Vegas Pro. Like many Vegas Pro users, we find it very simply laid out. Familiar feel. And yet as deep as you can get. Jumping ship now, would be like learning a new language. The output is the Art that is on display. Not the video editing software you use to get there.
Not sure why a lot of video reviewers don't bother to mention Vegas Pro for Windows, as I have used it for 10 years (and I have tried Final Cut and Premiere). Vegas Pro has most of the advanced features of these programs and you can buy it as a one time license like Final Cut. Vegas also offers monthly subscription if you want access to its video stock library. Premiere and Final Cut may be more popular, but for Pro users, I think Vegas Pro ranks third in popularity for a full featured video editor (in the same league as Premiere and Final Cut) at a reasonable one time price. The program has been updated many times now in version 19, and easy to learn. They offer yearly upgrades, but don't need upgrades often as it is already robust.
I’ve used FCP, FCP X, Davinci, Filmora, and now the Adobe CS. I like the Adobe Suite for functionality and ease of use. I am most familiar with Final Cut but it isn’t for windows and my new setup went from MacBook Pro to a high end gaming and editing PC. I’d say your recommendations are spot on. What you use is what is most intuitive for your skill level with the option of adding more pro features in the future as you grow.
I also use final cut so which do you reccomend for windows that is similar for windows. I love final cut but the windows pc i have now is a beast for the price.
Just watched this and jumped straight into DaVinci 17. At first I thought the interface would be difficult to understand but it's actually quite easy to use. Easier than the adobe apps for sure. Thanks man +1 sub
I've been using so many Vegas for many years, and I find it very intuitive and easy to use. It is a little buggy, but aside from crashes which you can easily recover from, it's great software and rendering is pretty fast. But it integrates so well with all the special effects, cropping, and many other things. I use it for most of my work. Why don't you like it?
Thank you Mister! I now finally got the gut to start my UA-cam channel. The fear man🤣 but i cant throw this time away and procrastinate. Im gonna go with DaVince Resolve. Even though I’m kinda a beginner for editing, but I catch on fast to technology. Not to mention, learning is best💞
I used WeVideo early on but after upgrading my laptop I switched to DaVinci Resolve. Steep learning curve but a game changer in terms of features and output quality. Great review!
Difficult to compare the paid options as there's subscription based (Adobe, filmora), one time payment (Resolve studio), pay in pieces (hitfilm) and completely free (Resolve, VSDC, and other completely free software). Then there's differences what features are included. Resolve has colour, VFX and audio built in. Adobe does not, it's extra on top of the plain video editor. So would Resolve be 2nd when after 2 years you have paid at least 6 times more using Adobe and continue to do that. Also I'm using Resolve so I'm probably biased, but I did not find Resolve difficult or un-intuitive to use, after using Powerdirector and Vegas. It's more about what you have learned already or if you are a beginner or pro/semi pro seasoned user. Also the easiest to get into speed using a software, isn't necessarily the best option. If you need to use complex features, you need to learn them. If your program does not have them or you grow out of them quickly that is learning wasted when if you have to use something else in the end anyway.
Why is it Sony Vegas is often skipped in these reviews? I used it and thought it was the most versitle and never caused memory issues with my PC. Thanks for adding it to your review!!
Hitfilm Express user here. Finding the timeline interface buggy, slow and lacking in basic functionality such as being able to splice clips or nudge them forwards / backwards using the keyboard. Some nice controls, effects and features though. Not sure if my i7 laptop with onboard graphics is the issue, but the preview window is pretty unusable once a few tracks/effects are applied. Might give DaVinci Resolve a shot, and possibly it looks like a laptop upgrade is required.
I've been on Powerdirector for several years and I've really enjoyed it. That being said, I'm beginning to move from editing personal projects into editing for a living. When I update my PC, I'm planning on giving Resolve a shot.
Hello Justin , i’m learning a lot from your videos please could you make a video on how to stand in front of a camera and be confident or how be more energetic
Justin - you hit the nail on the head for all of us choosing a software in 2021: choose what works best for your style. I had been trialing Filmora X, but ended up going back to Filmora Pro because for my way of working, and for the type of videos I present, it is actually the more enjoyable to use. When I started using X I found I just hated doing editing work at all, and that was simply unsustainable. Enjoying both the end product, and the process of making a video each time, are arguably the most important factors for any of us doing this more than just once. Filmora Pro just makes it fun, without being too over the top with features and 'needy' in the workflow. The interface is slick, easy to figure out, and likes lower spec computers so you won't get freezing on even 5 year old hardware. It has ended up being my go-to solution (after trialing, and eventually ditching, the even lower specced MOVAVI). Great video as usual - cheers.
Thank you for the video. However a video editor that should be considered on this list for Windows is Vegas Pro, which has most of the functionality of Premiere or Final Cut and is a professional video software.
First off, I'm a huge fan and follow you guys all the time and apply a lot of it. I was surprised that you didn't mention the Descript Video Editor. It transcribes your video and allows you to edit the video by editing the text, which has saved me about a jillion hours.... In addition it makes an AI template of your voice and allows you to type in missing words or sentences allowing you to make corrections while editing without having to reshoot. I would love to get your impressions of it. Thank you for all the hard work that you do I stand in awe of your ability to crank out great videos!!!
Just spent a few hours learning to use VSDC only to find that you can only use it once. Had Justin told us that in the first place I would not have bothered. Are any of the other "free" progs really free?
Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro and occasionally a DaVincj Resolve user, if your cutting and doing it professionally that's what you need to know and maybe FCPX if you're on Mac.
I tried DaVinci but even with my liquid-cooled PC (albeit some 5-6 years old) it was like wading through treacle. It just worked soooo slowly it was frankly unusable. I'm on the verge of switching from Vegas Movie Studio which I've used for years, to Filmora X.
Would you please make a video showing how a dance workout can be created where the same song the instructor used to film the video is overplayed into the final video (for better music quality), in a way where the beat of that music is synched with the beat to which the instructor is dancing to. Sorry that was so complicated to say. Would be so amazing if you could do this tutorial! Thanks so much for all of your amazing content!
I really hate that Adobe went to subscription only. I got Premiere Elements a few years ago and it still works amazing! The one year of subscription is about what I paid for lifetime access to my current program. Now I'm stuck with never upgrading because they cost too much.
What do you think of Vegas pro 18. I am complaining new to this stuff and am in need of just gaming clips. Montages. Simple slow down and speed up. What do you recommend for someone not tech savvy lol as I am not.
Premier Pro is not a stand alone piece of software if you want all the other features that Davinci has, so you would have to purchase has most expensive monthly subscription. The free version of Davinci easily competes with PP without the strangle hold of the subscription.
after using VSDC for a few years, I found it extremely slow when handling large projects with over a hundred individual clips or video over 4X speed, time to switch
Which one is the best for making videos without showing your face? I mean the one with the best features for thumbnails, intros, banners and incorporating clips, etc...easy for beginners
Installed right now on my PC I have Davinci Resolve and Camtasia, I use to use Adobe Premier. My goto is still Davinci Resolve, I just find it better to use than any other. Camtasia I use for screen recording as find it easier and quicker to use than OBS.
I am currently using Filmora X as I was fortunate to be given a Lifetime license and training. I find it adequate to what I need and very easy to use. Recently I was given training on DaVinci Resolve which I found too complex for what I need & needed consistent use to learn what I needed to. Before I was able to use it, I had to upgrade my computer. I am currently teaching Photo App that comes with windows 10 on a voluntary basis to older people as a starter, but looking for a free version app that will do a little more without getting too complex and something that any computer will run. Thank you for your suggestions I will check the free ones out.
Still rocking Magix Movie Edit pro 2015 sadly. Which I've known for years. I know I need to upgrade but I always think that the time I spend learning new software is time I could be editing with something I know. I've done it over and over.
The videos I make are like yours, mostly only me talking and teaching. I'm currently using Davinci 17 but as I am a beginner, to say the least, I could really use some help with skin tone lighting and sound adjustments for having crisper audio. If you have any videos that might help the 10's of thousands of people that are just teaching without a lot of animation or without various clips, please direct me there. This was a great review. Thanks again
Hey 👋 We have a complete Davinci Resolve tutorial that should be able to help you with that: ua-cam.com/video/63Ln33O4p4c/v-deo.html Good luck with your editing!
so i bought filmora pro instead of filmora. i'm starting to think i should have went with filmora X. i didn't realize they were 2 totally different products. are all of your filmora comments more centered around filmora X vs pro? thank you
Hi Justin, thanks a lot for your expertise. I'm currently using Vegas Pro 14. It's done the job for years but I want something a bit more modern. I want something that'll let me do clean, modern subtitle animations suitable for UA-cam in 2021 (Vegas text on screen is pretty dated). And modern animations and effects like screen wipes. With support for vst audio plugins ideally, like Vegas. Will Davinci do this for me? Or is there a better option? I'm on PC.
Yes is the answer. You can do animations in the Fusion page of Resolve and it happily works with third party VST 2 plug-ins, though not VST3 as yet. There are plenty of tutorials on UA-cam.
Davinci Resolve may be good... But they really need to work on their website... I sometime can't even scroll on it ans I just can download the software It opens a from that I need to enter my info, but the Country box doesn't showcase any contrry (and I can even close this form without reloading all of the page)
Still using Camtasia. I do not like their "upgrade" policy. Other companies have a free "small upgrade" policy, and a reasonable price for a full new upgrade.
Great information. I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Thanks to you, I installed VN on my phone and made dozens of videos. Keep up the great work.
This is a very informarive video.In teality am not editing my videos in my laptop am using my mobile.However this time i will test one of the free softwares you suggested"Davinci Resolve" and experience the magic in professional editing.Thank you so much for your efforts to share with us this amzing peice of work.Good luck to you
I dont use Kdenlive i have tried it a lot on Windows and in my opinion i think its one of the best free video editors out there way it's no on the lint is so sad. Its 100% free and has everything for any video editor might need.
I'm a free user, I've tried Lightworks free, OpenShot, and the trial version of Filmora (leaves a watermark on your video). I really liked Filmora, but can't justify the cost at the moment. While Lightworks seems to be very powerful, the interface is not as intuitive as OpenShot. I'm going to give Davinci Resolve a go and see what I think. Thanks for the info.
@@PrimalVideo After a quick play with Davinci Resolve. I think I have found my software. I also watched your tutorial video on Davinci resolve, and I think this will make my workflow much more... flowy. :)
Can anyone suggest what's the best way to go when starting out? Price isn't an issue more ease of use to begin with. MAC or PC and what software for each?
Im amazed you dont rate Powerdirector 365. £60 a year, easy peasy, with Audiodirector, Photodirector and Colordirector included. They also throw in access to 200K Shutterstock items too. No brainer.
I have serious question and i wish to know the answer before i start up my video editing career im looking forward to start new job recording videos of events and wedding stuff with DJi drones and for that im thinking to buy laptop in order to start my new job so my question is if i record a video with 4k resolution in order to edit my videos and save as 4k the laptop that i should buy should have 4k vga supported or thats related to software and if its software only issue does davinci resolve do the job free and paid version btw im not professional in any of what im asking so think of me as rookie with no experience in this thanks
Sitting and wondering why i get warning about unable to create frames and out of memory warnings when running PPro, i have 128 gig ram :) No Corel Videostudio? it seems ok but on my computer the render movie performance is well slow, what takes 2 minutes PPro, will take 3 hours in Corels option.
It changes year to year with software updating so much and this year it just didn't make the shortlist but still a good option if it works well for you! 👍
@@SingYourselfWell I'm a musician as well and I use ShotCut too. Another good tutorial out there is by Luke McHale who is also a musician. Justin's videos are so excellent, aren't they?
I have a slightly unique skillset- little to no (let's just say no lol) video editing experience.... but 15+ years of working in DAWs. I have been in Reason and Cubase for the past 12 years or so. So I have a good handle on some things I do believe will have crossover. With that said, should I still look at this the same or even consider my music making experience? Thanks, a fantastic video!
I see everybody on here saying the Davinci resolve is great when I can't even get my videos to show. I've looked at so many videos on how to fix the problem still nothing
I could never get my videos to have smooth playback while editing I tried so many tips from youtube and none of them helped the problem so I just installed it after trying for weeks
Davinci Resolve was my first editing software and been using it for like 10 months, I caught on fast and is very powerful. If you never done editing, don't be intimidated by it's power.
Cool 😎
does it produce high quality videos? like there must be drawbacks. I need like 4k 1080p super clear does it do that from what you know?

My goto is still Davinci Resolve, I just find it better to use than any other.
Camtasia I use for screen recording as find it easier and quicker to use than OBS.
Appreciate you sharing your experience 👍
I am currently using Filmora X as I was fortunate to be given a Lifetime license and training. I find it adequate to what I need and very easy to use. Recently I was given training on DaVinci Resolve which I found too complex for what I need & needed consistent use to learn what I needed to. Before I was able to use it, I had to upgrade my computer. I am currently teaching Photo App that comes with windows 10 on a voluntary basis to older people as a starter, but looking for a free version app that will do a little more without getting too complex and something that any computer will run. Thank you for your suggestions I will check the free ones out.
Great, you're welcome!
I use Camtasia 2021. I own premier pro license and never use it. Camtasia is just super easy to crank out simple UA-cam videos.
Still rocking Magix Movie Edit pro 2015 sadly. Which I've known for years. I know I need to upgrade but I always think that the time I spend learning new software is time I could be editing with something I know. I've done it over and over.
That's fine if your comfortable using it and you are contented with its results 😊
The videos I make are like yours, mostly only me talking and teaching. I'm currently using Davinci 17 but as I am a beginner, to say the least, I could really use some help with skin tone lighting and sound adjustments for having crisper audio. If you have any videos that might help the 10's of thousands of people that are just teaching without a lot of animation or without various clips, please direct me there. This was a great review.
Thanks again
Hey 👋 We have a complete Davinci Resolve tutorial that should be able to help you with that: ua-cam.com/video/63Ln33O4p4c/v-deo.html Good luck with your editing!
Awesome video,i use vsdc and davinci even though davinci is crushing on me all time
thanks mate computer gone(: gotta get a new one thank you so much this is so cool(:
I use Camtasia 2020
Great upload Justin 👏
Thanks! 😊
so i bought filmora pro instead of filmora. i'm starting to think i should have went with filmora X. i didn't realize they were 2 totally different products. are all of your filmora comments more centered around filmora X vs pro?
thank you
Hi Justin, thanks a lot for your expertise.
I'm currently using Vegas Pro 14. It's done the job for years but I want something a bit more modern. I want something that'll let me do clean, modern subtitle animations suitable for UA-cam in 2021 (Vegas text on screen is pretty dated). And modern animations and effects like screen wipes. With support for vst audio plugins ideally, like Vegas. Will Davinci do this for me? Or is there a better option? I'm on PC.
Yes is the answer. You can do animations in the Fusion page of Resolve and it happily works with third party VST 2 plug-ins, though not VST3 as yet. There are plenty of tutorials on UA-cam.
just love this guys voice man and the video...#THANKS FOR THE ADVICES
Awesome, no problem 👍
Davinci Resolve may be good... But they really need to work on their website...
I sometime can't even scroll on it ans I just can download the software
It opens a from that I need to enter my info, but the Country box doesn't showcase any contrry
(and I can even close this form without reloading all of the page)
Still using Camtasia. I do not like their "upgrade" policy. Other companies have a free "small upgrade" policy, and a reasonable price for a full new upgrade.
I’ve been using iMovie on my iPad and iPhone for editing but I want a windows computer what is just as simple and effective as iMovie
Great information. I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Thanks to you, I installed VN on my phone and made dozens of videos. Keep up the great work.
Awesome to hear that! All the best! 👍
This is a very informarive video.In teality am not editing my videos in my laptop am using my mobile.However this time i will test one of the free softwares you suggested"Davinci Resolve" and experience the magic in professional editing.Thank you so much for your efforts to share with us this amzing peice of work.Good luck to you
You're welcome! Hope the editing goes well!
@@PrimalVideo It will for sure!
I dont use Kdenlive i have tried it a lot on Windows and in my opinion i think its one of the best free video editors out there way it's no on the lint is so sad. Its 100% free and has everything for any video editor might need.
Kdenlive is also one of the best please review it
I'm a free user, I've tried Lightworks free, OpenShot, and the trial version of Filmora (leaves a watermark on your video).
I really liked Filmora, but can't justify the cost at the moment. While Lightworks seems to be very powerful, the interface is not as intuitive as OpenShot.
I'm going to give Davinci Resolve a go and see what I think.
Thanks for the info.
No problem 👍
@@PrimalVideo After a quick play with Davinci Resolve. I think I have found my software. I also watched your tutorial video on Davinci resolve, and I think this will make my workflow much more... flowy. :)
Can anyone suggest what's the best way to go when starting out? Price isn't an issue more ease of use to begin with. MAC or PC and what software for each?
Im amazed you dont rate Powerdirector 365. £60 a year, easy peasy, with Audiodirector, Photodirector and Colordirector included.
They also throw in access to 200K Shutterstock items too.
No brainer.
Was getting ready to make the same post....fishy.
Much awaited video, thanks a lot for uploading
Awesome! Thanks for waiting and watching too! 😀
thanks for the great info, which one is best for editing fitness videos?
Am just dreaming of davinci . Its awesome Programm and works well. No watermark
the best channel for anyone who wants to start a youtube channel, thank you so much Justin!
So awesome to hear it, Samer! Thanks! 😊
So much info! Thanks.
Nice, you're welcome 👍
Been really wanting to get into editing and design so thanks for the recommendations
You're welcome - all the best 👍
MY FAVORITE IS Shotcut its a really good editor without any watermark
👍
I have serious question and i wish to know the answer before i start up my video editing career im looking forward to start new job recording videos of events and wedding stuff with DJi drones and for that im thinking to buy laptop in order to start my new job so my question is if i record a video with 4k resolution in order to edit my videos and save as 4k the laptop that i should buy should have 4k vga supported or thats related to software and if its software only issue does davinci resolve do the job free and paid version btw im not professional in any of what im asking so think of me as rookie with no experience in this thanks
Can you give please examples when you mentioned about the powerful spec computer ?
Magix video is simply the best. Easy to learn as well and lots of editing features. Also great for multicam or 360 cameras.
How stable is it?
@@NuttnButKungfu to me it never crashed. Next a backup from your project is made about every 10 minutes automatically
Sitting and wondering why i get warning about unable to create frames and out of memory warnings when running PPro, i have 128 gig ram :)
No Corel Videostudio? it seems ok but on my computer the render movie performance is well slow, what takes 2 minutes PPro, will take 3 hours in Corels option.
I use FCPx on my Macbook - cost was $300 USD. But I really like Filmora Wondershare for $65 USD. I hate adobe premiere pro
I switch in between Hitfilm Pro and Premiere Pro depending on what I am doing.
Wwwaaaahhh, what happened to you liking shotcut? I'm FINALLY following your tutorial for that one. Help, Justin, please.
It changes year to year with software updating so much and this year it just didn't make the shortlist but still a good option if it works well for you! 👍
@@PrimalVideo thanks Justin. Still following your shotcut tutorial. As an artist this kind of tech stuff seems to take me for frigginever, haha.
@@SingYourselfWell I'm a musician as well and I use ShotCut too. Another good tutorial out there is by Luke McHale who is also a musician. Justin's videos are so excellent, aren't they?
@@MiaHessMusic thank you! Great to know! ✨
You’re my hero brother this was so frkn clear thanks
You're welcome - glad you liked it.
Cool! New stuff for free, thanks! 👍
Nice, no problem 👍
@@PrimalVideo What software would be a good choice to make a short video loop for hours?
I have a slightly unique skillset- little to no (let's just say no lol) video editing experience.... but 15+ years of working in DAWs. I have been in Reason and Cubase for the past 12 years or so. So I have a good handle on some things I do believe will have crossover. With that said, should I still look at this the same or even consider my music making experience? Thanks, a fantastic video!
I see everybody on here saying the Davinci resolve is great when I can't even get my videos to show. I've looked at so many videos on how to fix the problem still nothing
I could never get my videos to have smooth playback while editing I tried so many tips from youtube and none of them helped the problem so I just installed it after trying for weeks
