Hey everyone, this is your amusing and charming
YouTube expert, Derral Eves. Now you’re
looking to edit some YouTube videos, you’re
trying to figure out what to buy. Or maybe,
just maybe you’re looking to upgrade your
video editing software to give power and more
features. Well I get asked all the time by
my subscribers and different people on what
video editing software that I actually use
and recommend. Now whether you're just starting
out new or you’re looking to step it up
a little bit and add some new features, this
is your video. Why? Because I’m going to
give you my picks for the best free solutions
and the best paid solutions for video editing
software for both windows and Mac users. Stay
tuned. derraleves.com. Now if you’re just
starting out editing videos and want to do
some minor editing on your videos, I’d recommend
starting with a few free applications. Alright
my first pic is Windows movie maker. Now this
is made by Microsoft and it’s free for all
you Windows users. Now this is a really simple
program and it lets you edit movies and even
make slide shows and it’s done semi-professionally.
You’re able to create you know some titles,
some transitions and some effects and even
add a few sound effects and music. Now the
pro is, it’s free. The con is you get what
you pay for. So don’t expect for this to
be some amazing program that you can do all
these different things, all these different
effects. This is just a simple application.
Now for the free editing software for you
Mac users. Now what I would recommend is iMovie.
Now iMovie is great. It’s really, really
simple. Honestly my mom has edited a few videos
and she’s doing it like a pro. Now all you
do is just select your clip, you chop it down
a little bit and you can kind of insert it
into the timeline. You can put in titles and
effects plus Apple actually gives you a lot
of free things like they give you royalty
free music, some sound effects to use. You
can have some fun options to even create movie
trailers, kind of like Hollywood. Now there
are 29 different types of trailers to pick
from. From adventure, to super hero, to travel,
whatever it may be. Pretty, pretty fun stuff.
Now iMovie makes it really easy to share your
movies with the ability to upload automatically
to YouTube right from the application. Now
this is a really great feature to get your
feet wet for video editing so I definitely
recommend iMovie. Now let’s switch gears
a little. Let’s focus on some good paid
video editing software. The first one for
Mac and Windows users is Camtasia. Now if
you watched my other video on the best screen
recording software out there. That was one
of my pics too. Now besides recording your
screen, Camtasia’s great for other types
of video editing. There are also some great
ways to animate content. You can call outs,
make your text fly across the screen, images
can bounce up and down. Text can scroll and
more. So big thumbs up for Camtasia. It’s
one that is a great screen recording software
but also good video editing solution. Next
is ScreenFlow. This little baby, this little
software, literally can do everything. I do
a lot of editing on ScreenFlow. All my screen
shot tutorials are there. But you can also
do everything that Camstasia does plus is
has some really, really cool effects that
Camtasia doesn’t. Now the thing that I really
love about ScreenFlow is that its really easy
to do transitions. You can actually just drag
clips together and it just combines. You don’t
have to throw in an effect, it automatically
does it and then you can select that effect.
I really love using it for my light editing
for my screen recording for all my tutorials.
Let’s go ahead and take it up a notch. My
next recommendation is Sony Vegas Pro. Now
Vegas has been around for a while and we are
not talking about the city here. You know
they have some great things that really can
really speed up your work flow. I really really
like the ability that you’re able to expand
the edit mode and see the timeline in detail,
both your A-roll and your B-roll. It’s pretty
cool. I found that the image stabilization
is really good and they also support 4K and
have a great library of effects. However the
masking feature is really really weak. But
all in all, this is a very solid product.
Now for my last two favorite. Now you might
have been using Camtasia or another multi-track
editor. The natural upgrade for a multi track
editor would be my pick, Adobe Premier Pro.
There are a lot of amazing videos that you
actually see on YouTube and they were actually
created with Adobe Premier and let me tell
you that Premier really really rocks. It’s
extremely powerful and you can do some fast
editing for big projects. With Adobe Premier
there are way too many features to list. It
would literally take me an hour to explain
everything that you can actually use in this
software. What separates Premier Pro from
the rest of the crowd is how they use their
features and how they come together. Adobe
understands that every editor in the world
and every project has unique needs and they
created the application to really customize
it to fit those needs. Personally I love the
way that it actually manages files and they
way that they use proxy files. Okay I realize
that I’m really geeking out over here but
this is a really amazing application to edit
all different types of video projects and
a lot of big projects that my company actually
does, we do on Premier. Why? Because Premier
works beautifully with Adobe After Effects
to create those really amazing effects that
can really draw in an audience plus using
Premier I find myself saying, man I didn’t
know that it could do this, or I didn’t
know that it could do that. It’s cool. So
super big two thumbs up for Adobe Premier.
Now for the application that I use on every
single one of my YouTube videos for my channel
and the reason that I love it is because it’s
lightening fast to edit and it’s Final Cut
Pro X. Now if you’re using ScreenFlow or
iMovie, the natural progressions is to upgrade
to Final Cut Pro. Now I just love Final Cut
and why do I actually love it? Well the media
management with library’s and how it organizes
everything, it also can detect media. People
detection, shot detection. Think about that
for a second, you can literally find a shot
that you like and it will detect other shots
like that, it can pull it all together and
the great thing is, is some automatic tagging
that it does with keywords and site structure
off of your people and media detection. Now
the reason why I love it so much is that it’s
lightening fast. Super fast to edit. You can
actually put clips together and pull together
like this and it has a magnetic thing that
literally stops it so you’re not colliding
the clips and having things go out of sync.
The multi cam feature is simply amazing. It
allows you to select videos and photos and
the multi clip you can automatically sync
them by angles by time of the day, time code,
markers, audio wave form. Literally list goes
on. What I love about it is when we do music
videos, we can have several different videos
going at the same time. We have maybe 16 different
shots and we’re able to switch just on the
fly and see what things look before it actually
renders. It’s super fast. I love it. This
is just a great application, I just really
it. Super huge thumbs up, super huge thumbs
up for Final Cut Pro X. Don’t forget to
subscribe. In fact why don’t you become
a Super Subscriber! Just hit the subscribe
button and you’ll see little gear there.
Hit it and click the button that says send
me updates and YouTube will literally notify
you when I release my videos every week. I
would love to to hear what you think of my
picks in the comments below and I know that
I left a lot of video editing software out
there. Tell me what your favorite video editing
software is and why you would actually recommend
it. I want to know what features you actually
use in that software. Now I’ve made a few
videos in my day and some really good about
teaching you all the ins and outs of YouTube
and video Marketing and so much more so take
a minute and watch a video or two and you
can even do the binge. You can do the YouTube
binge. Just don’t purge that would be gross.
Thanks guys!
