Best Video Editing Software

[videobeast]

Hello Guys,
I have initiated the process of learning video editing a few days back and confused between which software to choose as i do not want to spend much right now.
I am referring this article https://beebom.com/15-best-video-editing-software/ for guidance but they mostly suggest complex and expensive applications. Can anyone help me find better alternatives? Please help.
Thanks in advance

This list is BS, each one on that list has it's fair share of culprits and annoyances.
The best software is the one you learn to work with with your imagination and exploration.
You can have the best oven in the world but still you will cook/bake crap unless you explore.
Are you looking into video editing as profession or as hobby, these have totally different state of mind.

Surely for most people the more you pay the better the product should be - just asking which is best without telling us what is your maximum price is a bit like asking what is the best car - obviously you will get answers like Mercedes and Rolls-Royce when the best you can afford is a motorised push bike

as this is the Videostudio forum then most people would say Corel Videostudio which is why we are here - but some members are into more complex editing and also have more expensive programmes how involved do you want to get and what is your max price

VideoStudio is an inexpensive NLE software that may well fit your nebulous requirement. There is a 30 day moneyback guarantee so you could give it a test drive and see if it's for you.

There a few other comments to make on your reference list
- iMovie is for Apple only, won't run on windows. Since you use win10, forget this one.
- Da Vinci resolve is commonly used by professionals in the editing business
- Pinnacle is owned by Corel, as is Video Studio (not on the list). Corel freely admits that the 2 are aimed at different market segments - VS is easier to use for beginners/entry level, whereas Pinnacle has more advanced and probably different/difficult to use features.

There are free and limited-feature editors, thru reasonably priced and border-line professional-functional consumer programs, to the more expensive feature-rich editors like Adobe. It's all going to be constrained by your degree of interest and how much you are willing to pay, and the platform available. Users often ask, what is that? and the best answer is to get the best/fastest gaming machine (focus on the highest cpu clock rate and installed RAM) you can afford - video and gaming are all about imagery and have broadly the same hardware needs, and most PC stores understand gaming hardware better than editing needs.

Most users tend to favour the product they are first introduced to video editing with, so choose wisely. Whilst most editors in the consumer price range have many similar features, how they implement those - the controls the users make to get the feature results - can vary significantly. Many on the forum have several of these programs, but most users have only one.
