First of all, whether we need to work or do self-media, a video editing software that is easy to use is essential. I often see many people saying that I am a novice, but want to learn video editing. How to choose the one that suits you? What about video editing software? I saw a lot of interesting videos in Douyin and Xiaohongshu, and I wanted to edit them myself, but I didn’t know where to start?
Not much to say, let's go directly to the topic, and then we will start with several well-known video editing software:
1. Screening Reasons for recommendation: Suitable for novices, many templates, support for mobile and PC
Jianying is bound to the Douyin platform, so many people listen to this software the most. Although I often see complaints on Zhihu that Jianying is only suitable for cutting short videos of about one minute, and cannot cut long videos. There are few plug-ins and cannot be fine-tuned. To the frame, the output format is too few, the editing method is anti-human, the fancy special effects are basically useless, and it is impossible to adjust the sound, etc., but it does not prevent everyone from using it. There are many clipping materials, which are convenient to apply and suitable for mass production. Most self-media authors also like to use it, but it also causes the same problem in many works. After all, it is not easy to collect good materials.
2. Wondershare Miaoying Recommended reason: suitable for novices, with a lot of material
This software is easy to operate, intelligent editing can quickly improve the effect, and it also retains some room for professional creators to play. The interface is simple, with clear resource area, editing area, and preview area. It comes with resources such as text, transitions, stickers, special effects, and filters.
In addition to the common text-to-speech conversion, intelligent keying, and motion tracking, there are also functions such as intelligent primary cutting for exclusive cutting of silent clips, recognition of the color tone of A video and automatic matching of color matching on B video, etc. Features such as keyframes, green screen keying, and advanced color correction can create more professional videos.
3. Qingyi Cloud Scissors Recommended reason: suitable for novices, simple interface, supports browser opening
Qingyi Yunjian is a new recruit in the video editing team, with less material and needs to be further improved. But the operation interface is friendly, the distribution of functional modules is clear, and it is suitable for beginners. The main highlights are that it can be opened with a browser, and edited on the webpage does not require computer configuration. It supports cloud storage, online preview, intelligent generation and dubbing of subtitles, project management mode to facilitate collaboration with fortune, rich color palette, and multiple export formats.
4. Reasons for PR recommendation: powerful functions and rich teaching resources
When it comes to video editing software, many people will recommend PR. PR provides a complete set of processes such as acquisition, editing, color correction, audio beautification, subtitle addition, output, etc. It can be used across systems, and can be seamlessly implemented on PC and MAC operating systems. Seam butt. It supports multi-format import and can be dynamically linked with software such as AE+AU+PS.
The disadvantage is that the PR installation file is relatively large, which requires high computer configuration, and it is also charged. However, there are many websites where you can download the installation package, and there are also many video tutorials, but there is still a certain learning cost for Xiaobai.
5. Love Editing Reasons for recommendation: Rich functions and easy operation
The overall feeling is quite satisfactory, and the functions are average, but it is still good for Xiaobai to get started. It has the functions of adding subtitles, color correction, adding photo frames, removing watermarks, merging videos, etc. without complicated and cool special effects. The disadvantage is that the free version has opening/ending credits, watermarks, and many advertisements.
An easy-to-use video editing software is just a tool. To create a good video work, editing thinking is also very important. Generally speaking, editing thinking is how to cut a video into a story that the audience can understand and empathize with. Works like "Second Uncle Healed My Internal Conflict" is to edit the video clips to form a complete story chain and tell it to the audience. In the next issue, we will specifically talk about how to form our own editing thinking.
