Free Video Editing Softwares

Video Editing Softwares

Have you ever spent hours editing your videos with a video editing software's, only to export it and have the video turn out like this or this? In this article, we're going to fix that.  Best video editing software that you can use for your next video.We are going to tell you about top 5 video editors.

Each program must be available for both Windows and Mac. There must be absolutely no watermarks. And the program must have all basic functionality available, so you should be able to add a bunch of video clips, trim them, add effects to them, as well as edit the music and text and be able to export it as a full video. And so with that being said, let's get started below. 

1. DaVinci Resolve :

DaVinci Resolve-16  and DaVinci Resolve is one of my favorite editors. It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux and has all of the functionality that you can ask for. You can not only combine clips, edit your video and audio, add transitions and effects, but you can also do some key-frame editing as well as color grading. DaVinci Resolve also has more robust features, such as a frame rate editor, as well as facial recognition, so you can make anything you want within this software. 

You can also easily export videos in a perfect format for YouTube, and there are no limitations on the length of the video. I'm pretty surprised that all of this is available for free within DaVinci Resolve. Now the biggest limitation is that the maximum resolution you can export videos at is 4K. Unfortunately, you can't export videos in 8K with the free version, but I can't see any reason why you'd want to be exporting videos in 8K in the first place. You also don't get all of the facial recognition features and effects in the free version, and you do need a pretty powerful computer, but all in all, with  DaVinci Resolve 16, you can make 99.9% of the YouTube videos you want to with the free version. 

2. Kapwing:

Next,we have kapwing . If you have a less powerful PC and you want something web-based, the web-based video editor I would recommend is Kapwing. Kapwing is one of the only online editors I found that has no watermark.So I'm pretty surprised that all of this is available for free.

The only limitation you have is that within the free version, you can't export videos that are longer than 10  Minutes, but I wouldn't see this as a big restriction. 

3. Shotcut :

 

Shotcut is a really good choice because it is completely free. It is an open-source editor available for Windows, Mac and Linux and you don't need to operate to any pro version to access all of the features because everything is available in the main version at no cost. For this reason, if you're somebody who wants to commit to learning one software that you're going to be using for a long time, I would recommend Shotcut because you're never going to have to upgrade to any pro version, and you have a lot of different things that you can do within the software. 

It has all of the functionality you can ask for. Not only does Shotcut have all of the video editing features you need, but it's probably the most robust audio editor on this list as well. Within Shotcut, you can change the pitch, normalize your audio, change the reverb, as well as the speed, and also remove noise. And so if you're someone who's shooting vlogs or music videos, and you have a lot of different audio inputs and you want to make sure that your videos have consistent audio as well, I would highly recommend Shotcut. 

4. Lightworks :

Lightworks is the fourth program on this list . Lightworks is also available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Lightworks has a variety of different features, including the ability to crop clips, color grade,combine them, add different effects, as well as add a different element, adjust pictures and text, right into your video so you can create a cohesive product. One thing that's cool about Lightworks is that it's optimized for speed. Lightworks ensures that it lags as little as possible, and this is done by having a lot of processes run in the background.

So as you are editing, the videos will automatically be rendering and so everything will be very smooth, fast, and seamless. However,because this is the case, you do need a powerful computer to be able to run Lightworks, similar to DaVinci Resolve, and one of the limitations of Lightworks is that within the free version, you can only export videos up to 720p, which is still fine because that is HD, but if you're someone who wants to, you know, be able to export videos at 1080p or 4K for whatever reason, then I would stay away from Lightworks and use the other four alternatives that I mentioned in this article. 

5. HitFilm Express 4 :

The last program on this list is HitFilm Express 4. Now HitFilm is very similar to DaVinci Resolve where you can not only do basic edits to your video but also do very advanced things, such as key-frame editing and color grading. There are no time restrictions on your video exports and you can export up to 4K in the free version.What makes it very different from DaVinci Resolve is that it doesn't have the option to sync multiple cameras at once. But other than, HitFilm Express is very solid. You can make any YouTube video you want on it. It doesn't have any exporting constraints. You can export videos that are over 20 minutes long and they can be up to 4K, which is perfect for YouTube. And it doesn't require as much processing power as a program such as DaVinci Resolve. So if you have a less powerful computer, HitFilm Express 4 might be the perfect product for you.

6.Conclusion :

All right, so I know there was a lot to take in. But here are my top three tips for editing faster in any software given below- 

1.Tip number one is to try and learn some of the keyboard shortcuts. I can't stress enough how much faster this is going to make your editing. Just pressing a couple of keys on the keyboard is going to save you maybe three or four mouse clicks and mouse movements, which over time is going to speed up your editing dramatically. 

2.Tip number two is to focus on editing down your core story or your core content first, before getting carried away with all of the color grades, and color effects, and those sorts of things. A lot of people jump straight into the stuff to make your video looks pretty first. And all that does is end up slowing down your computer and making your computer process and render everything while you're editing. Save that stuff for last, to focus on the content and the story first. 

3.Tip number three is to take that little bit of time when you're starting a new project to create some folders, or bins, to categorize everything that you're bringing in. So it could be that you're creating a folder for the footage, one for music, one for sound effects, one for any photos or graphics that you're going to use. Also that you can have things in a quick, easy to find the place while you're editing. You don't want to be sorting through a big list of files, trying to find everything, when you're in the middle of editing. It's all about keeping that momentum going. So taking that little bit of time upfront to catalog everything and categorize everything is going to save you a heap of time later in the editing project.
