DavidCore89 7,402 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah, as the title says, I'm looking for a noob-friendly video editing software. Just for some basic editing. A lot of the free software doesn't allow exporting, and if they do, it's super low quality. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 DC, I think im on the same boat. I've been looking at Premiere or DaVinci but really havent dug deep enough to give you solid advice. I'm buying a green screen cause I want to try something I think could be fun. @Smurf do you have any experience with VES?

I've been playing with VSDC, easy to use, but I wanted to check out other options before buying a licence. Green screens and all that is probably way beyond what I'm looking to do, which is simply placing 1 image and 1 audio file together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf 947 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) WonderShare Filmora is a good easy to use video editing software for noobs. The only issue I saw was when editing created text, the size would not change, but they probably patched that seeing I haven't used it in a while. You can also learn some shortcut key presses & tutorials etc.... on youtube, doubt you need it though. You can export in multiple ways & formats. Uploading to youtube from the app, you can change resolution, fps, audio bit rate etc. Edited October 22, 2020 by Smurf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I’ve done all of my editing with Cyberlink Power director. I’m a complete amateur with no editing training or prior experience before I started playing around making GTA videos. It does have a chroma key feature so you can do green screen work. Might be cheaper software available that’s more suitable for what you need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumi6581 833 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I just started with Lightworks because I had to edit a video for my daughters birthday. The free version allows exports in 720p... I don't think it's noob friendly but I got it to work for me after a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the software I used at first would only allow 192kbps. Wouldn't matter on a regular video I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free version only allows H.264 / MP4 video at a maximum of 720p and 60fps. I don't see the audio specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatManDoza 3,473 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I use premier pro 2015, tricky at first, but many a youtube video and I self taught myself the basics. Drop me a PM, I may have something that may tickle your fancy 1 Quote 50% Cat 50% Man 110% Bellend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have paid the paid version Adobe CC (one of the only plus points of returning to education) and do the little bits and pieces I do in that mostly, it's also really good in that you can pull Illustrator and Photoshop content straight into it as well and retain links back for editing etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuniorChubb 3,359 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I use Davinci Resolve... don’t know if it’s any good but it’s free! https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwu6M042K7QIVFp7VCh3VpQnCEAAYASAAEgLmk_D_BwE Quote Can you smell what the Stone is cooking?
