    Video Editing Software

    If you want simple and fast I would suggest you try Shotcut. It's free, has a pretty quick learning curve and can do some pretty cool effects and transitions. Can handle 4k, proxy files and does simple color correction. DaVinci resolve just didn't run good on my computer, even when using proxy...

    I hear Openshot and Shotcut are very similar.

    Editing Skills - Help!

    You'll get a ton of answers here. You will need some kind of editing software. Most people here like DaVinci resolve. I thought it was a bit overkill and steeper learning curve for my needs and I ended up switching to ShotCut and it does what I need so far. Both are free downloads and both have...

    time lapse question

    Thanks. Yes that does make sense. Shotcut will allow you to speed up 50x which looks way faster than photos every 2 seconds. I'm not a math wiz but I'm sure there is a way to figure out what a photo every 2 seconds equates to video speeded up x times.

    time lapse question

    Hi, I have been playing with defferent methods of timelapse (photo vs video). In photo, the smallest increment I can find is every 2 seconds in JPEG, 10 seconds in RAW. 2 seconds still seems too fast. Is ther anyway to set to every second or half second or is the only way to do what I want is...

    I guess there is no rule that says I can't use both. Now that I know what proxy files are, both support them. So far shotcut seems more intuitive for me and less glitchey with a quicker learning curve.i may revisit davinci once I am comfortable with Shotcut.

    I'm not sure what that means, lol! My videos render okay, it's just the scrubbing has a huge lag or it's just frozen. Is there a setting to change to "proxy"?

    Yeah, davinci is powerful but I fear my computer is not. It doesn't want to scrub through the video and many commands aren't working. I think it may be overkill for what I'm needing at this stage. All I need now is something where I can edit, have transitions, speed up for time lapse and simple...

    Being as it's free I would guess it's not as good as premiere. ?

    Thanks, but I'm windows 10. Although I was thinking of getting a small ipad to replace my phone to use for viewing.

    Thanks, davinci resolve was one recommended on a youtube video as one of the best free editing softwares. I assume it can handle 4k and do time lapse?
