If you try to browse the internet, you will notice that there are lots of perks. Nothing comes for free these days but you know what, you can find a lot of freebies online and that includes video editing materials such as editing software programs.
Video editors these days can take advantage of free software programs which allows them to do editing tasks at home. Of course, there are paid software programs (most of them are too complicated for newbies) but why pay for something that you can get free of charge?
Years ago, editors had a difficult time in doing their jobs. In fact, they also need to spend a lot of money in editing a short film. Things have changed much over the years and now, editors can do their work at home as long as they have a powerful computer and useful editing software.
Editing tools are often expensive and complex. A very good example is the Adobe Creative Suite which costs around $1,800. This software offers complex manipulation tools and after effects. Similar to this software is the FCS (Final Cut Studio) which costs about $1,300 but you will need to purchase an Apple computer in order to use the program.
Amateur video editors may be able to afford these expensive software programs but not all of them are willing to spend huge money. Most videographers today work on camcorder footages and they want a cheap alternative to edit the videos. If video editing is your hobby, you can use free software programs instead.
Most of today’s Macs and PCs are equipped with competent and reasonable video editing software like the IMovie and Windows Movie Maker. These tools are very easy to use and you can edit any part of the clips by simply dragging and dropping them for editing. You can even create titles with the program or use dissolves and fades.
For most videographers, the free software programs are already enough to make simple fancy transitions to make an interesting final video for your family occasions. For those who want to use extra free tools, there are other choices online for free.
For Macs, you can also use Hyperengine-AV. With this tool, you won’t get stuck on a certain track when editing. You can randomly place video, audio, effects, and transitions on the timeline. You can also use the links that allow you to use the QuickTime toolset of Apple so you can easily adjust brightness, video color, and make other alterations.
You can also try Blender. This free software offers complex video editing tools. You can use it as a 3D computer and compositing graphics tool. It is functional and complex but it is also easily learned.
The most popular tool used in Hollywood movies is Avid. It is truly expensive but you can also find a free version of Avid Â? the Videospin. It is similar to the software of Pinnacle. With this software, you can directly output your video to YouTube.
Avidemux can work on Linux, Mac, and Windows and it is also free. It is stable and can handle diverse file formats. Then there’s also Jahshaka or T@BZS4 and Wax. Search for them online and download the software program. Now, you can start editing your video clips at home without encountering difficulties.
Create memorable quality videos using the free software programs.
