What's the best editing software? I've been using Final Cut for ten years, but I usually only edit small personal projects. I've been hearing a lot about premiere lately. Is it as great as people are making it out to be? I'm planning to shoot some short films this year, and I'm really interested in its color grading features and stuff like that.

Windows Movie Maker

No! 3D Movie Maker!

McZee! Fuck, I loved this game as a kid.

I've always used premiere because adobe creative suite and because it's not an Apple product, making it more versatile

I was looking at the deal earlier. Is it worth the $50/a month or is the $20/a month one fine?

The 50 is if you're using multiple apps. If you just want premiere go for the 20.

You're giving this board too much credit. Unironically, take that question to reddit.

AVID is the industry standard

I haven't touched AVID since college and it was shit back then. Is it better now?

I use premier but I'm far from being a pro. I use it to make basic edits for family and friends videos and occasionally for webms here. In all seriousness this don't bother with Sup Forums either

da Vinci resolve

Is it anymore? I abandoned Avid for Premiere a few years ago.

>be AVID
>crash

>Is it worth the $50/a month
I hate this era of having to pay monthly instead of owning something outright. I pirate Premiere and After Effects CS6 as a result. Not sure if it's possible to pirate CC, but I've never really needed to as CS6 generally covers my needs.

>my fault. I didn't tell him not to.

That's avid.

I use Cyberlink Powerdirector 16, seems to be able to handle every file except webm

Film / Video guy here. Just use premiere / after effects. You can learn Avid if you like to be ultra pro but honestly half the movies these days use premiere. (Which my more hardcore editor friend hates)

Colorgrading use DaVinci Resolve

>I hate this era of having to pay monthly instead of owning something outright.
Same, it's maddening with the new creative cloud shit because theyre constantly upgrading it and changing shit that doesn't need changing, so then if you're editing on multiple comps you sometimes get errors with version numbers

yeah you can but I jsut went with CS6

Alright so here's the real deal.

Final Cut Pro 10 is great if you're going to be pumping out videos because the film renders while you edit which is amazing. The only problem I have is when you set the audio and video you can't lock anything. So when you try to insert a clip in the beginning of your timeline it shifts the rest of the timeline (at least for me). Plus FCPX always auto saves your project.

Premiere is the best for output settings. Want something on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn etc? There's a setting for it. You can do custom settings and you never lose quality. It's crazy how many output settings Premiere has. Works seamlessly with Adobe Media Encoder.

Here's the issue. Premiere WILL CRASH. Not IF its when so if you're not Cntrl or Cmd S'ng your project every 10 seconds you're fucked.

I'd edit on Final Cut and export with Premiere that's what I do and works out well.

Hoped this helped

Yeah from my own experience using Premiere I'd say it's your best bet. Overall it has way more features than Final Cut Pro X, especially if you're into colour grading. I've used both and really prefer Premiere. I've used it to edit a bunch of college projects and a short film I made.

In Premiere go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts then select Final Cut 7. Congrats, you now know how to use Premiere.

I've used Premiere for years. Works great most of the time.

Edit each frame in paint, copy the image to Powerpoint and click really fast. This is the most precise way to edit.

much better if you work with multi-cam shoots or with a huge catalogue of clips

Premiere is still really good though

What's everyone's opinion on DaVinci Resolve? If I'm a poorfag just looking to make decent short films could I get everything done with just that?

>Premiere WILL CRASH
download more ram

try Blender, it's free.

I mean you can get it free user...

Desolve is nearly industry standard for color correcting at this point. It's a bitch to learn but really powerful.

Just use Premiere, resolve is a grading program

Resolve is also a video editor and sound post-production application.

...and it's free for everyone to download and use, including Linux users.

I'd rather shoot myself

Holy fuck only dabbled with Primere and never knew this shit thank you

Does it handle mkv?

Technically. It's dying though, everyone's moving to davinci or pp

I almost switched over until I learnt that its audio editor doesn't have in built noise reduction software. That's like 99% of all audio correction that I do

use filmora, its what all the youtube pros use and has sick wipes

They've been saying AVID is dying continuously for at least 10 years.

Vegas Pro is €20 on humble bundle

Moving from to Avid to Davinci? I thought davinci still only prefered to color grade

Legit surprised nobody is on Nuke.

been using vegas, but im 100% sure I can make this youtu.be/V7P7-IN4nco and other stuff easier in any other editing software

Well I cut on avid but I work in tv and can't imagine using an NLE without their bin management system so the cutting tools barely factor into it for me.

It is hard as fuck for me to use Premiere after years of Avid though but I really need to learn it.

I can't imagine an NLE ever actually accepting mkv natively

>tfw stuck in reality tv for the rest of your life

Shit at this point a science doc would be a dream gig

Powerdirector does, too bad it seems quite barebones and simplistic compared to the others in this thread.

Yeah I'd have to imagine they know mkvs are a privacy format so I doubt you'll ever see the big 3 able to use it.

It'd save me a ton of time running shit through freemake to get mp4s.

Piracy format.

Premiere's user interface is more modern and easier to use but Avid is more stable

I feel like Avid is easier if you're used to MMOs since they're both hot key heavy

What computer and software did they use to do the effects for the cgi looking aliens in SW a new hope? Editing software didn't even exist back then
