"What is the best video editing software to use?" Many people wonder what is the best video editing software to use. There are a myriad of choices, but each has its own pros and cons. This article explores three key aspects of video editing: cost, duration, and ease-of-use. We will also take a look at two popular open source tools: Blender and Shotcut as viable alternatives for those on a budget or who want more control over their workflows.Introduction: The Early 2000s Saw an Influx of Video Editing Software This decade saw an influx of video editing software entering the market as both digital cameras and computer technology became cheaper and more accessible across the board. With the emergence of YouTube, everyone and their grandmother wanted to start editing videos. For those who weren't satisfied with the bundled software that came with their cameras, choices were limited as Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro dominated the market. The first open source alternative came in the form of Kdenlive, a KDE-based non-linear video editor for Linux brought to life by Elektro-Magnetik. Since then, we have seen a steady increase in video editing software based on open source technology and created by developers around the world: Cinelerra (Linux), Pitivi (Linux), Lightworks (Windows & Linux) and Blender (Linux & Windows). With the growing popularity of open source software and the increasing democratization of tools such as Blender and Shotcut, we wanted to show what these tools could do by showing how they stack up against established software such as Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer, and Final Cut Pro X. We've created a short video tutorial to compare and contrast these three popular NLEs:How Did This Tutorial Come About? This video was created as a result of questions we were getting from our readers. Specifically, we want to make it clear that Blender and Shotcut are viable alternatives to Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer, and Final Cut Pro X. They are powerful tools in their own right and should be considered as an alternative. We hope to dispel the myth that they are "only for special effects compositing" or a hobbyist tool for those who aren't professionally editing video. How We Tested The following test rigs were used in compiling this article: Avid Media Composer = MC360 with MC910 / MLCM 10 with MC9200, Avid Marketplace license (ended 2015) Apogee One: Series II (OpenGL and OpenCL Acceleration) and Apogee Symphony (OpenGL and OpenCL Acceleration) Avid Symphony DL: Apogee Symphony + Symphony 8.6.7 without M-SPLIT PRO Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017.1. eccc085e13
