Why Video Editor necessary?
If you are already a video content creator, you must know the importance of a video editor. You can make effects, change graphics, control voice, trip/crop video, add thumbnails, and much more.
Also, Video editor provides you with a single platform to optimize your video. You can collectively select all your videos and place them in one place to make a better sequence.
Should I choose a free one?
Whether a Mac or Windows, both have a free video editor installed. For example, in the case of Mac, we have iMovie. This software is sufficient for basic editing with features like transitions, titles, background, colour correction, noise reduction, and much more.
But, if you are seriously looking to beat the competition, you must go with some professional video editors. This gives you more visuals, more attractive transitions, better control of voice, and many other features.
You can choose professional video editors as per your budget as it starts from $30-$35 and goes up to $700-$800.
The best thing is most of the video editors offers you a trial version to test their products; if you like them, go for it or otherwise, check out another one.
