Movie Making Made Easy: Best Video Editing Software
This article was provided to TechNewsDaily by our sister site, TopTenREVIEWS.
TopTenREVIEWS has just released a ranked comparison of the best video editing software. TTR looked for practical, professional editing software that is compatible with major file formats and many other less common formats. They also identified which movie editing software was easiest to use for average consumers who don't have experience editing videos.
“Stop watching long, boring home videos," said Lecia Monsen, Managing Editor of TopTenREVIEWS. "Import your video clips and grab out the portions where Davey hits a homerun or little Susan takes her first steps. It's easy to trim the 25 minutes of other people receiving their high school diplomas before Tim arrives on the stage. And it's even easier to add in fun transitions and background music."
The Top 3:
1. CyberLink PowerDirector: TTR's Gold Award winning video editing application comes with 225 transitions, 111 special effects, 162 picture-in-picture objects and 94 particle effects. It also comes with 100 tracks where the user can customize each aspect of the movie.
2. Corel VideoStudio Pro X5: The Silver Award winner can create 3D movies. It comes with 112 special effects and 94 particle effects.
3. Adobe Premiere Elements: The Bronze Award winner provides 107 transitions and 88 special effects, and it supports many file formats. It is also capable of supporting 99 tracks so the user can keep video, audio and effects organized.
