Which soft do you use for editing videos?

[jason38]

Hi all,
I'm looking for a good software to édit my mavic videos...

I was looking for a freeware, but all freewares I tried are not enought complete, or not easy to use at all...

So, before buying a soft, I wanted to know which soft is better...

I will use it to edit landscape videos, and sometimes editing some sport videos, like cycling or running/skiing...

I need those fonctions:

Transitions,
Slow down or accelerate the video
Multiple output /input formats
High quality output (HD or 4K...)
Add music
Video editing like contrast, brightness, exposure...

Thanks for your feedback!

I have tried a few. Probably the easiest for your needs is shotcut. It is free. Shotcut - Home
I currently use Davinci Resolve which is also free, a bit more complex, but more powerful. You will find tons on video tutorials about it on YT. Blackmagic Design: DaVinci Resolve 14

Editing is another magic world that I had to explore when I bought my first quad. Give it some time and follow tutorials. You will be amazed by what you can do after a while.

PS: You will need a hell of a pc setup to edit 4K efficiently. I prefer shooting at 2.7k since a have a much smoother timeline to play with

I think I'll try shotcut first, more easy , I'm a newbie with video editors!

Thanks a lot for your answers!

Yep, I shoot with 2.7k quality.
I said I want a soft which can output a high quality vid...
I was using wmm and avidemux, but once édited, vid quality ils really poor!!

This probably has to do with your render settings. Increase your Mbps to the neighborhood of 45Mbps for 2.7k footage to get good quality renders.
