CarolineJensen Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I am actually making video mockups for print on demand products. That means I need to crop the video to meet the requirements of place the product is going to be listed...eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. I want a basic editor that isn't complicated. I have Premiere pro, but it tends to be overkill for ten second videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LensBrew Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Video Newbie here too. I tried PremierPro but I didn't like it. I also tried Apple's Final Cut Pro, which felt better. But the most recommended I've seen on youtube and they have a really great free version is Da Vinci Resolve. I haven't tried it yet, but once I immerse myself into video editing I will go for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LensBrew Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I was thinking about DaVinci too. I think Sony has their own basic editor too. Sony make amazing imaging tools, but so much for post-processing softwares. They ,right be good for basic works, but the bar for "basic" very high now.

Drew_Geraci Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Davinci Resolve is probably the best all-around NLE for both simplistic and advanced edits. Their social media settings (for resolutions) is also super helpful. Render times are quite fast too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMakai Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I've been a full time video creator + photographer for the past 4 years. I started out with Final Cut and moved over to Premiere. My thinking was that Premiere was more powerful. It does do many things better, like stabilization and audio mixing. But, when first getting the Sony A7SIII, Premiere would crash my entire (Mac) computer when editing the 10-bit footage. I had similar issues with Premiere on Windows. So, I tried Final Cut again. After doing many projects in Premiere, I realized the strengths in Final Cut. It's far faster than any other NLE for basic editing, which is 95% of what I do as a solo creator.I later bought Resolve and found it to be far and away the best for color correction and grading. But, again, it's no where near as fast as Final Cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey-Austin Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I used LumaFusion on iPad pro, iPhone and Mac, very easy and can handle 4K 4.2.2, now using Davinci resolve and it's as complicated as Premier Pro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pm-r Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 After years of struggling with Premiere, I made the switch fo Final Cut and really love it. I would also look at Black Magic's free version of DaVinci Resolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
