In this top 5 list I'm going to focus on the best programs based on how useful and versatile for an average or low budget video maker who wants the ability (or tools) to make professional looking videos.
1 - Final Cut Studio
I chose Final Cut Studio as number 1, despite being available only on Macintosh computers, there's plenty of consumer friendly versions and options for Final Cut, and a lot of power. Final Cut Studio is thename of a whole package that comes with Motion, a special effects editing program, LiveType, a program of animated text and more.
Let's investigate what is the difference between Final Cut Studio Pro, etc. Express Final Cut Express is the cheapest version of Final Cut and is an excellent choice for those who only want to change the video, with a power much more editing software that came with their computer. Final Cut Pro is the best choice and is also useful for the more serious video editors and editing services also in the studio.
2. Adobe Creative Suite
Like Final Cut, Adobe should be a winner because it has many programs and must have several packages, which are all available on both Mac and Windows. The video editing application we're going to talk here is Adobe Premiere. Comes with some of the CS (Creative Suite) package or you can also buy standalone. Adobe Premiere has all the tools needed tobasic video editor> and depending on which package you get CS, you have the power of other tools available such as Photoshop, After Effects and more.
3 - Avid Media Composer
Avid has long been considered one of the leading video editing applications worldwide professional and is still used somewhere around 50% of all the major studios. Avid needs to have a place in this list because the video editor is more precise when it comes to database managementtools for the organization, precision control of the structure, maintaining levels of color and transmission standards, etc.
It 'may be too expensive and too difficult for the average user to make videos that can compete with what other average users can do with Final Cut Studio or Premiere After + animation effects. An average user can put together really cool stuff with these animated models, and he probably only basic text by the designation limited if used Avid.
This isbecause those programs are the most in this list, and you can see how difficult it can be to their rank. From the professional point of view, a broadcasting company is the # 1 combination could be more After Effects editors do the special effects while editing an editor Avid FX puts together all those clips with the media and prepare for the broadcast.
If we compare two editors soloist and also with limited computer skills, both with equal artistic and beautiful to see who can do better after halfyears of practice - if one of them on Final Cut Studio and learn all the software, while another one has the Avid professional and trying to learn After Effects, as well - I can guarantee the guy would learn to Final Cut Final make awesome animations with LiveType and Motion. While the other guy could not do basic things with Avid + After Effects, because he has not yet learned.
Number 4 and 5 on this list are being
economic alternatives: Forreasons for this list is about usability and accessibility
4 - iMovie is an editor for Mac only, and is a basic editing program that usually comes with most packages Mac and is very good compared to Windows Movie Maker (although I have not seen the latest versions of Windows Movie Maker) and some other non-free applications. It should not surprise me because Apple makes its video editing software and other things with Final CutStudy.
5 - Windows Movie Maker comes with windows and has some basic editing functions, you can change several shots together, shorten the time of each shot and add music. That's about it. You save the file as a wmv file with very little options. This program is only available on Windows PC
