It’s quite easy to take
pictures and videos with digital devices. You can either keep the pictures and
footages in your memory card or on your computer. Also, by using some video
editing software, you can create polished movies and slideshows to show off or
share with your friends via the internet. Such video editor tools make it easy
to trim portions of original videos, adjust video effects, add transitions between
different clips, and even plug in audio voiceovers if you need. Once you finish
creating a great video, you can share it with others in a variety of ways.
The problem here goes that which kind of video
editor to choose in creating videos and slideshows from footages, movies, pictures
and audio tracks. A good video editing program should at least include a
storyboard and timeline layout, a video stabilizer and the ability to add text
to the video. Meanwhile, when shopping for movie editor tool, you need an app
that allows you to import and export your media in the formats that work best
for you. One more feature is the program user interface. Obviously, an easy to
use interface would no doubt add its weight.
Based on the above requirements for selecting video
editor program, we could narrow the options and make it easier to choose. The
below 3 video editing software programs are widely considered to be the most useful
and easiest video editing tools to help edit video and create movie.
PowerDirector: This video
editing software provides 200 video and audio tracks so that you can create
movies as complex or as simple as you desire. It's easy to import and export
files with this movie making software. Additionally, it supports a large number
of file formats. The editing options are intuitive so you can quickly start
working on your projects. With transitions, special effects and more, you'll be
able to create professional-looking movies.
Video Editor: A very easy
to use video editing program just like Windows Movie Maker. This video editing
tool allows users to import video, audio and picture files in different formats
from different sources, capture video, record audio, snap screenshots, and output
to DVD, video and mobile devices. It features abundant video editing tools,
including effects, transitions, titles, etc. It provides Timeline panel for you
to edit files, where you can use zoom-in and zoom-out button to enlarge scale
size to have clear visual control of each frame and precisely edit separate
tracks including videos, images, audios and titles by adding extra tracks,
removing unwanted tracks, disabling the selected tracks or splitting tracks
into two parts.
Adobe Premiere Elements 10: An easy-to-use application with enough features that even meets
professional requirements. You can fix imperfections in the audio and video
tracks, add effects and transitions, pan and zoom on still images, and more.
You can also create high-definition movies with menus and upload them directly
to YouTube, or burn them onto a disc. This video editing software is compatible
with both PC and Mac operating systems.
One thing to keep in mind when using any video
editing software, including PowerDirector, is that the more audio and video
tracks you add, the more it taxes your system. We noticed that when you add a
lot of elements, such as videos, audio, transitions and effects, the system has
a tendency to crash. If you keep things fairly simple though and the files
small, you probably won't have any problems.
