Best Video Making Software of 2017 Videos are scattered all over the world these days, especially in the tech community. Whether it’s a simple advertisement for a detergent or a trailer for the new upcoming Avengers movie, videos can be found everywhere and therefore, their importance cannot be overlooked at all. Especially, in today’s world, where technology reigns supreme, things as simple as video-making are pretty crucial to propagate an opinion in the best way possible. But, what is a video without its editing? Proper video editing is what sets a video apart from other videos and makes it stand out and look truly amazing. If you’re about to make your own video, then stick around, because this blog will be very important to you. Here, I’ll be telling you about the best video making software of 2017. Let’s go! Edit Your Videos on Your PC Digital video tools get more powerful and easier to use every year, and that’s especially true when it comes to the video editing software that targets nonprofessional enthusiasts. Every year, new formats, new techniques, and new capabilities trickle down from professional-level software. That’s a good thing, because higher-quality video content produced by nonprofessionals is exploding in volume. Phones that record in 4K, DSLRs, 360-degree VR video cameras, and action cams all contribute to this explosion in video content. Given how cheap storage media is, the only limit on how much you can shoot is how tolerant your subjects are and how much time you have for both shooting and editing. Video editing software ranges from free versions that are pretty bare-bones to featurepacked prosumer versions. Indeed, they vary as much as the reasons why people take up video editing—whether to make home videos, to become YouTube stars, to create VR experiences, and more. Most video editing software for consumers and mainstream users is best used for one or another of these specific functions, but there are a few generalists out there, too. You can look at the full spectrum: Free video editing software; paid consumer video editing programs that cost $80 or less; and “prosumer” versions that offer deeper feature sets, though usually for high purchase prices.

What Features to Look for in a Video Editing Software THese are the features you should consider while choosing the best video editing software before creating your video: – The Basics. When you shop for video editing software, keep these fundamentals in mind. All the video editors we’ve reviewed can do standard functions like creating clips, transitions, titles, and some effects, though they vary in quality of execution and ease of use. There are so many different video formats out there, and one device may capture in a different format than another. Furthermore, different devices and platforms need specific file formats for playback—and those formats may be different than what your camera captures! That means you’ll want software that can import from a variety of sources and that will support many file formats for export. Exporting Videos to Social Media, DVD, or Blu-ray.


That’s assuming you’re just exporting files. You may want to burn a DVD or Blu-ray disc, or upload your videos directly to YouTube or Facebook. Each of these comes with its own set of necessary features that some apps have and others don’t. For disc burning, you need not only support for the right formats, but DVD menu authoring tools so viewers can navigate what you’re presenting. On the social side, it’s much easier if the application syncs up directly with your account online and allows you to enter metadata like a description, tags, and privacy settings. Expanding into VR, 4K, and 3D. You may want to expand into specialty and high-end features like stop-motion video, multi-camera editing, 3D 360 VR, and support for the official Ultra HD 4K format used by most Blu-ray players. You’ll generally find that the most expensive consumer video editors support these features well, and the cheaper ones either don’t support them or produce lackluster results. Speed and stability. Finally, stability and speed matter—although speed may not be as important if you’re not a professional. Nothing is worse than losing your work when the program crashes to your desktop, so we’ve tested software in a variety of conditions on a typical Windows setup to assess stability. The Best Video Editing Softwares Coming to the matter at hand, these are the best video editing software’s you can try out for editing your video: – 1) Overall Best Video Editor: Adobe Premiere Elements 2018 Adobe Premiere Elements 2018 offers most of the same basic video editing features you’d find in other consumer packages, but it separates itself from the pack with tutorials and automatic curation and content creation features that very nearly (but not quite) do all the work for you, as long as you don’t mind if your videos look generic. It’s this easy access that makes Adobe Premiere Elements our top-rated consumer paid video editor. 2) Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X10.5 At $80, Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X10.5 combines an elegant and professionalfeeling interface with high-end specialty features like 3D and 4K Ultra HD, making it one of the most satisfying and versatile consumer-level video editors on the market. It


also has an elegant, modern-looking user interface, and can export to YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, and Vimeo with all the options you’d expect. It’s versatile, efficient, and top of its class. 3) Best Budget Video Editor: Nero Video 2017 Nero Video 2017 is slightly cheaper at $50 than many competing video editing suites, but it offers most of the same features, including Ultra HD 4K support and intelligent curation features for your media library. And with H.265 format support for mobile devices and the handy ability to switch between a basic and advanced editing mode, Nero will please a wide range of users. It’s mostly intended for burning physical media, and doesn’t have good social exporting options. But even if you’re not planning to do DVDs, Nero is worth a look if you want a budget option for video editing software. 4) Best Free Video Editor: Shotcut Shotcut has been around for more than 10 years, but it has been steadily updated by open source developers who have been dedicated to the mission of providing a prosumer-level video editing suite at no cost. This program supports most audio and video formats you’d need, it allows you to carefully craft most aspects of your video with powerful filters, and it has a highly customizable user interface that can scale based on your needs from the basic to the advanced. It doesn’t provide as much guidance as some other software, but curious editors can venture to YouTube and elsewhere on the web for support from a still-active community of enthusiasts. If you’re willing to spend a few hours cracking the eggs, you’ll be rewarded with a video editing program that is every bit as useful as others for which you’d spend $100. 5) Best Prosumer Video Editor: CyberLink PowerDirector 16 Ultra Cyberlink PowerDirector 16 Ultra is a prosumer video editor that aims to bring every feature under the sun to a video editor that is accessible and affordable. There’s nothing else in this price range that brings you this many well-implemented features, especially in 360 video. Complexity is its one challenge: The user interface is not always selfexplanatory, and the inclusion of so many features means it can be difficult to find what you want. 360-degree VR video cameras, Best video making software of 2017, corporate film makers, video editing, video making
