How to find the best video editing software for the home system? Your home movies will benefit from using the best video editing software available. Artistic expression is amplified by the editing programs that you choose to use. It is my contention that the best video editing software is the the software that you feel most comfortable with! Most of the software programs for video editing do, at worst, an poor job, at best, a great job of providing the tools for editing video.
It is up to the individual editor to find the program that best suits his, or her, needs as an editor. As long as the software you run is stable, easy to learn and performs the functions that you want it to, you are well on your way to finding the best video software, for you.
In my career of 28 years in the motion picture industry I used whatever video system the producing company had contracted to use. In the early days as television and film transitioned from film, to tape and finally to digital editing, it seemed like every year I would be working on new and different system.
The new editing systems did not change my editing style, but rather they offered me more tools with which to advance it. As the evolution in editing systems continued Avid and Final Cut Pro rose to the top and ended up being the dominant systems. I worked on and liked Avid the most, so when it came time to select a video system for my home computer I gravitated towards Pinnacle Studio Plus because it is owned by Avid. Pinnacle Studio Plus is the best editing software for me because it is stable, easy to use, can do what I need it to do and is relatively inexpensive, between $80 and $120, depending on the package that you purchase.
Those four things are important in finding the best home editing software for you. Stability, ease of use, adequate tools and cost should be the main things that you look into before purchasing home video editing software. This is not rocket science, it should be the litmus test for choosing video editing software suite. You would not choose a program that could not do dissolves if you plan on doing montages, nor should you spend $1,200 for a program when a program for $150 will do everything that you need.
If you are just starting out in editing video, it would be wise to use some of the free video editing software until you establish what your video editing needs are before you buy a a program. Once you know what your needs are, be sure to do as much research as you can on the various editing programs that are available until you find one that meets your requirements. If you do your home work, you will end up being happy with the result, having found the best video editing software for you.
