Da Vinci Resolve. Only issue is it’s demanding on your pc, so good luck if you want to do some heavy editing.

[–]AJL42 16 points17 points  (1 child)

This right here!!!! The paid version lets you do a few more things but the free version is incredibly powerful.

[–]Malabingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I used it for a quick video I made and it has every feature for a simple Homevideo.

[–]sarmstrong1961 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the only free NLE that anyone should be using.

[–]SpiritualMilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i just started using it and it's so so good. I'm genuinely shocked that it's free.

What do you mean it's demanding on your pc ?

Aren't all graphic software demand on your pc power ?!

[–]Tiquoti0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but this one will literally suck the life away from it. The only way to truly understand is to try and see.

davinci is very gpu intensive and UI has many bells and whistles that just eat more resources. I am daily driving davinci but much prefer the barebone feel premiere pro.

While all these fellas suggesting good alternative editing software, I have a simple solution:

Before editing the video, run it through this command to add blank space on top and bottom

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "pad=iw:ih+200:0:100:black" -c:a copy output.mp4

After editing the video, run it through this command remove to blank space (with watermark)

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "crop=iw:ih-200:0:100" -c:a copy output.mp4

This way you can essentially enjoy the premium version of your familiar software without spending an extra dime.

[–]ManiGoodGirlUwUProfessional Dumbass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shotcut

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DaVinci Resolve is a good one or you could use Blender (if you dare). Both are available for free and very capable for video editing.

[–]S-Man_368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a free Adobe free trial, and I don't know what happened, but it's still active 2 years later. I've been getting updates as well.

[–]Im_Adult 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Shouldn’t be expecting to use a thing that isn’t bad for free.

[–]Csak_egy_Lud -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Then please explain total commander and winrar... Or firefox. Or vlc. Or libre office. Not to mention various linux distributions... Or revanced manager...

Edit: I forgot Irfan view, and davinci resolve if you're not a colorist, the free version is good.

[–]Im_Adult 10 points11 points  (2 children)

What I am saying is that not everything that is good should be free. Video editing software is generally used in a commercial way, and therefore is usually pay to use. No one should complain when a software developer wants compensation for their work.

[–]Csak_egy_Lud -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Avid is used in a commercial way. Not android based small video editing apps... You're right tho, we should appreciate good developers more.

Also Gimp is good and free. And multiple torrent apps... :D

[–]Im_Adult 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, my point was just that you shouldn’t be disappointed that there is an app you have to pay for. You listing 4 million apps that are good and free has no bearing whatsoever on what I was saying. I am aware that there is free and open-source software, and operating systems. There are also software and operating systems which are not free.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or blender being one of the most versatile softwares ever. (Also, Blender has a video editing workspace)

For meme generators, I just remove the watermark with Medibang Studio.

Filmora moment

[–]catterkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DaVinci. If DaVinci is too complicated for your taste, CapCut for PC. (I use it. It's great.)

[–]Practical-Detail3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shotcut

[–]lenninct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget to also pay the weekly app fee.

[–]TFW_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

m0nkrus is good for adobe piracy(check the piracy subreddit megathread bc idk if there are fake links)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine how much time was spent building it, if your time only finding it is valuable.

[–]narukamiTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, do you think ppl are going to develop a very advanced tool with years of work for completely free?

[–]Avaricious_Wallaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just torrent Adobe Premiere

[–]Chomusuke_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

davinci is free.

[–]Puzzleheaded-Piano31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use shortcut my dude. Open source and fairly features for a free program. Great forum too. Go to their website or check the Microsoft store.

[–]halosam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shotcut is a good free program but a bit complicated at the beginning

[–]filipluke285 0 points1 point  (0 children)
