I was looking for a video editor that can help me cut and edit some simple video footage. What are some good choices?
Preference is one with a low learning curve. Paid is alright, as long as I can test it a bit beforehand.
Google is littered with nonsense blogs so I figured id ask the Lems.
Kdenlive is my go-to these days, but it’s interface can take a moment to get used to. Plenty of tutorials and such on YouTube, however.
If you’re on a Mac, iMovie is as good as it gets for casual production. Look no further.
Finally, if you’re on Windows and don’t like the look of kdenlive, I don’t see any reason not to use Windows Media Maker from Windows Live Essentials 2012. There’s a lot of crapware around these days pretending to be a modern version of Media Maker, but the old one still does what it needs to, and to my knowledge there’s no official replacement to date.
