Editing

Editing- preps and puts together a scene by tweaking it using different effects.

There are 3 editing softwares that could be used to edit : climpchamp.com, hitfilmexpress.com, and openshot.com

Clipchamp

  • Its a free, easy accessible editing website with a lot to offer. You can combine multiple video/clips, mess with the audio on them, add images and effects, etc. Since it is web based, you can use it on windows, mac os, and different types of computers. Plus, you can get an app for it if anything. Its also good for collaboration, so if you and a partner needs to work together or change a few things, it'll be easy to do so. However, there are issues with saving clips and projects when finishing. The quality doesn't do to its fullest extent an you do have to pay if you want certain things.
Hitfilm Express
  • Its also free, and used pro quality for beginners. You can access of the internet, more so pcs and desktops, but its not an app. The support and customer service is amazing, so if there are any issues, you'll be able to figure it out with help. Voiceover does work and is good for versatile audio options, as well as moving/tweaking with audio. On this website, is is fairly easy to lay tracks onto one another and masking is a fast process. Still, a good amount of needed features are limited and you would have to pay for them. Plus, it does take a little while to get familiar to and is a bit more intricate then other softwares.
Openshot
  • Its great for video editing and putting clips together, and is popular on effects. This software in affordable and has an overall good performance. It can be used across a vide variety of applications and devices. You can extract audio and sound from any clip chosen, and can be done with a quick drag and drop. Plus, its fitting for laying tracks on one another. Nevertheless, it does run slow sometimes and isn't as smooth and other softwares.




Personally, I choose Clipchamp, because I am more familiar with it and I find it better. Even though it is a free version, you can do so much from it. Even for beginners and non pros, it is very easy to use.
