Which Editing Software do you use?

[Bella]

Hello Instructors!

We know that everyone has their own style of video creation because we’ve already seen your different audio & visual setups. But for this discussion, we’d love to know which software you are using to pull it all together?

Which editing software do you use and why do you use it?

I used to use TechSmith Capture , it had quite some options that was before I started using Camtasia it serve my requirements quite well

This thread is very old, you should start a new one.

It's interesting how many people here started with Camtasia many years ago, when it didn't cost so much as today. And many complain today about its limitations. I know, I tried it.

There are also many other free alternatives today, not bad at all. Some older guys on the platform may disagree and give some bad advice. But in just 3-4 months I created 6 video courses with just PowerPoint and ...Clipchamp. My first was about Clipchamp, which still brings me something.

There are limitations, it's true, but you should rather know where and learn to avoid them.

Capcut is coming strong today, they innovate like crazy.

And lately I looked into OBS. Which, with something like DaVinci Resolve, could be a winning free solution.

I've used CapCut for quite long period and add my customized intro / outro clips to make different videos in similar style.

I come from a streaming background so OBS and Adobe Premier is my normal pipeline. Any voice over work done within Audacity.

The new adobe products have some great AI transcript built right into to help streamline the transcript game!

Final Cut Pro

Let me add a little to my previous reply. Currently I use Final Cut Pro as I mentioned. Mainly. However, at times I also use CapCut. It's very good. LumaFusion is brilliant.  I started out years ago with iMovie. Not as basic as it first looks because you can push it a long way. Then it's time to move to FCP. But, as I say. There are times when I use LumaFusion or CapCut. I also use any number of other apps to develop other parts. 

LumaFusion is a very good editor. It's so like FCP that it can export packages to FCP and the workflow is very similar. LumaFusion is a lot less cost than FCP, and runs on the Mac and iPad... and the iPhone. It's brilliant.

For pure Audio work when I need it Audacity is the goto. Although I don't use it for Lessons much, as FCP has a very good VoiceOver facility, as does LumaFusion. Audacity is my favourite for AudioBooks.

I'm a great believer in if the program does what you need, then it's the best. I never get into "mine is better than yours" discussions. That sort of argument is pointless. If all you can afford is iMovie - it comes with all Macs - then use it. It' brilliant. I used to use Windows, but the hardware began to get in the way, so I moved to Macs. But I still have both. I can't remember what editor I used on Windows, but Davinci Resolve is ver good. I also use that from time to time on the Mac. And... DaVinci Resolve is free. You don't need the Studio version believe me. Not unless you plan on making an Epic Space Adventure... which you won't be doing on Udemy.

I use Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher for all graphics work. It's brilliant software and as cheap as chips. 8 cups of coffee from Starbucks is about the current cost. It's way better than anything Adobe is still fiddling with, and NO subscription. Also runs on Apple, PC and iPad all with one license.

Well that's about what I use. And also why I use it. I'm also happy to answer any questions from anyone about anything you want to know. Except the meaning of life. That's 46.
