What Editing Software Do You Use?

We use Adobe Creative Cloud at work so I get After Effects and Premiere for free.
iMovie is also good for editing, and easy to use.

I love both.

Mostly Go Pro Studio, but also TrakaxPC. I have Premiere and After Effects, how ever it is bulky to use. I used to use the Adobe gear it for digital editing of effects, but for vlogging and bike vids, I havnt seen the need to use it yet, unless I want some explosions, laser beams or a lightsaber in my vid.

Lightworks is awesome, and you can use it for free (legally)

I looked at lightworks for being a good program thats free to use. But free version was limited export of videos to 720p. Other than that, a great bit of software.

Premier Pro. It's very heavy on resources and you'll need to watch a tutorial before you'll have any idea what the hell is going on, but pretty damn good otherwise

I'm gonna give lightworks free a try! Always helpful info here

Vegas and Camtasia depending on what direction I'm going with the project.

I use Premiere Pro. I actually bought a copy of CS6 during my "more money than sense" phase a few years ago, back before motorcycles and real grown-up responsibilities stole all my spare money.

This post should have come with a Poll. Can Poll's be done on this forum?

Ditto I am starting to hate Windows Movie Maker though. I do my best but other videos I have seen have much cooler things you can add to videos

I am pretty new but I am guessing something like ...
AVS, Final Cut, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier, Adobe Elements, iMovie, Camtasia, Corel Video, Cyberlink, Pinnacle, not sure if there are others. Maybe more people might add to this list?

I use Sony Vegas 13.0 at the moment

8 out of 10
I would rate higher but no background rendering and it crashing all the time dose not make me happy...

When I was younger there was a kids show on called lazy town.. it made everything more easy for me.. look up the song

"do what you want cause a pirate is free , You are a pirate"

great little vid ^_^

There is also DaVinci Resolve, that's free for the non-Pro version but may need a grunty machine, I tried it on my laptop and it seems to run but I have no idea how well... Also you will need to invest quite some time learning, it doesn't look like it's for beginners

DaVinci Resolve at its core is color grading software. In version 11 and now 12 they upped the editing capabilities, but its still centered around grading and it has its own eco-system.

I use FCPX since its release, FCP7 and Adobe Premiere before that.

FCPX is a serious workhorse if you are a Mac user. Premiere the same for either flavor of OS you run.

Also SkwoSkwe - H.264 is just a wrapper, a compression codec. It's not made for editing, its strength is delivery, small, high-quality file sizes.
Ideally if youre using GoPro footage, its .264 out of the camera, you use GoPro Studio to transcode it to .mov or .mp4 for editing, H.264 for upload and GoPro Cineform for archiving (super high quality, huge file sizes, only FCPX/Premiere can really handle it for editing)
