🎬 5 BEST FREE Video Editing Software

description
In this step-by-step tutorial, learn about the best 5 free video editors. First, I show you how to use a video editor that comes for free with Windows 10. The Windows 10 free video editor is a basic editor that can produce nice videos. However, there are some drawbacks. Next, we look at the OpenShot video editor. OpenShot is easy to use, quick to learn, and a surprisingly powerful video editor. Next, we review ShotCut video editor. Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor for Windows, Mac and Linux. We then look at Kdenlive, another free and open-source video editor that's easy to use. Lastly, we look at the video editor that I personally use, DaVinci Resolve 17. DaVinci Resolve is divided into "pages," each of which gives you a dedicated workspace and tools for a specific task. Editing is done on the cut and edit pages, visual effects and motion graphics on the Fusion page, color correction on the color page, audio on the Fairlight page, and media organization and output on the media and deliver pages. At the end, we also take a quick look at a few other noteworthy mentions, including VSDC Video Editor, HitFilm Express, and VideoPad. 📚 LINKS TO VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE - OpenShot: https://www.openshot.org/ - ShotCut: https://www.shotcut.org/ - Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/en/ - DaVinci Resolve: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ - VSDC Editor: http://www.videosoftdev.com/ - HitFilm Express: https://fxhome.com/product/hitfilm-express - VideoPad: https://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/index.html 🏫 TUTORIALS ON VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE - Windows 10 Free Video Editor: https://youtu.be/t6yQwLuoO3w - OpenShot: https://youtu.be/rLWXlc1BW-I - Shotcut: https://youtu.be/PCMcyYAtRzw - DaVinci Resolve: https://youtu.be/UguJiz9AYM8 ⌚ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 00:49 Windows 10 Free Video Editor 03:54 OpenShot Video Editor 06:10 ShotCut Video Editor 08:46 Kdenlive Video Editor 11:21 DaVinci Resolve 14:58 Other noteworthy mentions 16:02 Wrap up 📺 RELATED VIDEOS - Playlist with all my videos on Video Editing: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlKpQrBME6xLya9ITLp53bfo4SBn0g-Au 📩 NEWSLETTER - Get the latest high-quality tutorial and tips and tricks videos emailed to your inbox each week: https://kevinstratvert.com/newsletter/ 🔽 CONNECT WITH ME - Official web site: http://www.kevinstratvert.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstratvert/ - Discord: https://discord.gg/kHuujY2pZf - Twitter: https://twitter.com/kevstrat - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Kevin-Stratvert-101912218227818 - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kevinstratvert - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevinstratvert/ 🎒 MY COURSES - Excel for Beginners in under 2 hours: https://kevinstratvert.thinkific.com/ 🙏 REQUEST VIDEOS https://forms.gle/BDrTNUoxheEoMLGt5 🔔 SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kevlers?sub_confirmation=1 #stratvert
