Video Editing Software - What do you use?

Echcaroff81 · Dec 22, 2017

Heyguys & gals. So I'm looking for some good video editing software for 4k videos. I havent tried the DJI Go editor yet. I've done some editing on YT but I found it meh. I'm thinking about buying PS Elements. Before I go spend yet another $100 on drone related things... what do you guys use?

Edit* Before you all start tellling me there are already posts about this topic... I just saw that. Sorry.

Seriously? lol. I edited my post to say that I just noticed the abundance of posts about this topic lol

Luckily I have a friend who edits semi-pro and hes giving me access to his photoshop account. Saves me $100!

Final Cut Pro X is the best if you have a Mac.

AFAIK, DJI editor uses video cache (720p), not full 4K resolution.

Try DaVinci Resolve 14. You can use it for free. The free version is incredibly capable already. The paid version only packs extra FX filters and stuff, but nothing you couldn't do without perse.
At least you are working with legal software that way. It is VERY good (if not the best) for post processing, colouring, stabilising, de-noising, etc. It packs a lot of editing tools as well. There are a ton of videos from professionals on youtube explaining how to use it.

You need a PC with at least a 4GB videocard (but you gonna need that anyhow) and at least 8GB of RAM (16 or 32 is better). Available for Mac, PC and Linux.
