Generally I don’t suggest Avid Media Composer to anyone because it’s such a high-end product, however, recently the company has released a free version of their video editor called the “Avid Media Composer | First” and it’s a great news for all the budding video editors out there. For that reason alone, I recommend Premier Pro over any other video software in the world. Rather, you are entering an ecosystem which gives you access to some of the best creative tools out there. When you are buying the Premiere Pro, you are not just buying a video editor. Whether you are using Photoshop for photos, After Effects for animations, or Adobe Audition for audio editing, everything plays nicely with the Premiere Pro. However, the best thing about using Adobe Premiere Pro is the ecosystem that it supports.Įvery other tool that Adobe offers you connects seamlessly with Premiere Pro. The editor is not only powerful but also has a clean and familiar interface. Think of a feature, any feature that you might need in a video software, and I will bet that Premiere Pro has it. When it comes to video editing software, Adobe Premiere Pro is the first one that you will hear and that too for good reasons. Price: (Starts at $54.95/year, Lifetime plan costs $79.95)īest Video Editing Software For Professionals 1. If you are serious about video editing, you should start with this one. It also comes with all the horsepower that you will need as a beginner. In addition, you get to see a sleek interface alongside a natural and intuitive editing environment. Much like iMovie helps you get the basics right to make your transitioning to Final Cut Pro easier, Adobe Premiere Elements does the same for Premiere Pro.

Those looking for a free alternative should go for Shotcut, which I’ll talk about later on.

However, I still think that it is good for beginners who are willing to spend a little money.

I know at $99.99, it is not exactly cheap. If you are a Windows user and looking for a good video editing software which is capable yet beginner friendly, Adobe Premiere Elements is to the software to go for. Great in-built special effects to choose from Lacks advanced features like motion tracking, mulitcam editing and more Helps in getting video editing basics right
