iMovie on Mac.
8/10
Pros:
The modern one is a lot quicker to use though.
8/10
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Background renders
- Handles 1080p60 no problem
- Fairly simple to do green screen/picture-in-picture/titles/transitions
- Cannot fade-in or fade-out separately (if you fade-in, it applies equal fade-out)
- Audio ducking rubbish compared to older version.
- Can't add plug-ins
- Over-complicated events/projects libraries
The modern one is a lot quicker to use though.

Adobe Premiere/After Effects.
8/10
+ Works well with other Adobe softwares like Photoshop and Audition.
+ Tons of tutorials and resources out there.
+ Industry-standard level of editing capabilities.
+ Doesn't favor Mac nor PC
- May look intimidating to new users
- Expensive
- Relies a bit too much on other software.
If you are inclined to learn new softwares and have some experience with Adobe, you'll figure out the structure pretty fast.
Userfriendliness suffers in order to be flexible and customizable.
Def not a light and easy to use software. But powerfull with the right knowledge and experience.

When at home: Final Cut Pro X (9/10)
+ Fairly easy to do quick edits
+ Extremely powerful once you get past the learning curve (same as any top end piece of software)
+ Plenty of free tutorials
- Mac Only - I use it because I have a Mac as a main computer. That is only a - for those who dont have a Mac.
- Can be difficult to get to the more powerful aspects
Out and About: iMovie on the iPad (6/10)
+ Good enough for quick edits
+ Easy to use
+ Can export project to Mac iMovie which can then export that project to FCPX
- Very simplistic
- Not very many effect options
Special note: I use the GoPro Studio to initially do color on any GoPro videos (I use ProTune). Once I have that done, I save them out for final edit in FCPX.
I think I said this in another thread, but editing comes down to what you know the best and are comfortable using. Can industry standard software produce the best video? Sure, if you really know how to use them. Can something as simple as iMovie or Windows Movie Maker produce good videos? Absolutely. Is it possible for the simple editors to produce better videos? Yes, if you are unfamiliar with the pro tools and dont know how to use them properly. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on software unless you want to put in the time learning it. There are plenty of How-To videos out there for the pro tools, so if you are inclined, grab it and get watching the How-To's.

I use Adobe After Effects since I want to try and up my editing skills over time. I jumped in on the deep end not knowing the program at all and have decent amount of skill on it now. But nothing any other program couldn't do just as well.
Its also a relevant skill to have at work since I'll be using it for animations soon enough.

It doesn't say CUNT, dammit!
I bought an outdated version of Sony Vegas Pro for like $30 on Amazon. It does fine for what I need and since I'm not making a ton of money off youTube, cheaper is better for me.

Except Render in h.264 natively, which is annoying considering h.264 is the most commonly used codec in the internet. Though indeed Vegas Pro is easy to use.

I can't post links, I'm a (noob) but go to my website, it's the same as my name and you read what I tried to put on here about two. Again, I tried to post it on here but was told it was too long.
If you do read it and have questions I'll reply here or there.
I am by no means, trying to break the rules or upset a mod or anything, I'm not selling anything, maybe send me. PM on here maybe I can send a link that way.
