Favorite Video Editor?

[ALH]

What is everyone's favorite (free) lightweight video editor? My niece and nephews want to learn to edit some of the videos we make, they are going to start with game videos. But their PCs aren't that powerful. I personally use Davinci Resolve and I know it is killer on the system, so we didn't even try that. I downloaded openshot but it seemed too limited, like I couldn't even dim the sound.

Hey, @ALH !
From my knowledge, Da Vinci Resolve is free! Looking forward to see the videos edited by your niece.

Well, that is the one I use, but they need a lightweight editor. Davinci is really processor/GPU intensive.

thanks for sharing the Da Vinci Resolve! Never heard of it. I will try it as well.

Davinci Resolve is great. If you need to learn it I'm currently taking a course in it on udemy. It has been very helpful, I was editing things really the hard and long way. It's a flood of info and that software is a beast, but just learning some basics has already paid off in time. I can share the link to the udemy class if you want, it was really cheap.

When looking for a free, lightweight video editor for less powerful PCs, there are a few great options to consider that strike a balance between usability and features for beginners:

1. Shotcut: A free, open-source video editor that works well on low-spec systems. It has features like audio editing, filters, and basic transitions, making it perfect for beginners.
2. HitFilm Express: While a bit more resource-heavy than Shotcut, it's still lighter than DaVinci Resolve. It's feature-rich and great for those wanting to get into more advanced editing over time.
3. VSDC Free Video Editor: A fantastic lightweight option with tools for video and audio editing. It supports a variety of formats and is well-optimized for low-end PCs.
4. Kdenlive: A powerful yet lightweight editor with a customizable interface. It's beginner-friendly but also offers advanced features for more experienced editors.

You’re right about OpenShot feeling limited it’s good for quick edits but lacks flexibility for detailed work like audio adjustments. Any of the above options should work well for your niece and nephews' gaming videos.

Also, if you’re into creative projects like video editing, you might enjoy checking out Lightroom Mod APK for enhancing photos with professional-level tools for free. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to level up their visual content!
