List of video editing apps, what do you use?

Jump to first page

I edit on a Macbook and use Filmora 9. I tried using iMovie, but it felt weird so I stuck with Filmora. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone. There is this bug, to where it literally gets stuck when I try to save my work. So if I have done quite a bit and haven't tried to save, I don't save until I'm completely done with the video.

I know why not take advantage of the auto-save funcitonality. Well I do, and it eventually stops working. No clue why, and I have yet to find a fix online. There is also Filmora 10, which I have, but when I tried using it, it introduced a whole slew of bugs that I reverted back to 9. 

I wouldn't recommend this software to anyone. There are a handful of bugs and I don't believe they support Filmora 9 with new upgrades. Also, a lot of the functionality is missing key features that would be easy to implement; like simple tab feature to jump from one text box to another. So these things end up slowing my production speed up.

I won't hate on Filmora entirely. It is the first and only video editing software that I really used and it has helped me improve my editing skills a lot since beginning. I'm probably about a month away from being monitized on YouTube and when I am, my first purchase will be the Adobe Cloud subscription. So I"m looking forward to Premiere!

This is a great topic. I get asked what software I use all the time and my answer is always "Filmora, but don't use it" lol


  • I just learned Premiere Pro for the Rookie Rally videos. It does like 1,000 things and I only need 5 of them, but the way it lets you use them is nice and quick. It's very overwhelming but if properly motivated, it's only a few days of working through it. — redlinederby
  • Yes I can't wait honestly. Premiere is definitely a top tier editor, I'm excited to get to use it soon and exploring all 1000 things lol — WeRaceDiecast
  • Once you learn them, you can teach me! — redlinederby

nice to know TY!

I'm a big fan of free, especially where hobby-use comes in.  My choice is OpenShot (www.openshot.org/).  It has more features than I'll ever need, but isn't too overwhelming.  

I started with adobe on a mac

them went to Sony Vegas probably 25 years ago

its now called Vegas 19 and works on windows or mac

can use it also for music editing as well as videos  I think it cost me about 199 to update every few years 

I will be posting a video on how to do track motion soon

i also use it for green screen  which just built my first one

Ive started using vegas pro 10 for train Sims then moved up to 14. I've pretty much love the vegas pro as I've been using it for over 12 years. Because of my low upload speed I can only upload 1080p. The quality is great! I've switched over to railfans and never lost touch on my software. It is expensive but totally worth it!

I look forward making my own racing videos soon.
