Those who produce videos know the efficacy of visually attractive and high-quality content. You also know how daunting it is to produce these materials. As much as your video looks good, most of the time it is still necessary to make some adjustments so everything can be perfect, and you will only achieve this through video editing.

With some techniques and software suited to your skills and needs, you’ll be able to correct most of the recording problems found in a video such as bad audio, bad colors and lack of lightening, and you can also create visually richer materials by inserting effects, filters, texts, and some other cool features.

But then, how do you find the perfect program to edit videos with so many options to choose from in the video editing market? I searched for the most used programs; I also checked up on the best software evaluated by the critics and here you are about to be informed on the top 15 video editing software to use for your professional editing jobs.

Check some of them out and see which one suits your needs!

For Beginners in Video Editing

For those who are just starting to edit their videos or want to do something basic that doesn't require much in terms of tools, I strongly recommend programs that serve different operating systems:

iMovie

IMovie is a very simple tool used to make edits when the video is not technically demanding; works well on both Mac and Apple mobile devices.

IMovie also allows you to cut; insert audio, simple text and even some effects and transitions in your videos, but it also has limitations regarding the video formats supported on import and generated on export.

Thank you, Israel for this tutorial. Am looking for a video editor and this comes in handy. I was interested in Filmora, but the watermark in the free version cuts across the whole middle section of the video. And the paid version can cost quite a bit. I would rather buy a perpetual license but that is pricey at USD 69.99.

I loved this training because you certainly helped me to choose something according to my needs and expertise.
You have truly invested quite a lot of research and time to put this list together. I have worked with several programs you review and your comments are spot-on.
Amazing work!

ACK! First of all, your posts are AWESOME. The ACK!!! was because yet ANOTHER reviewer left out Debut that has some of the best free options available for screen capture videos out there. Check it out! (and no, I am in no way affiliated to or make a dime off of these people!)

I have Openshot on my laptop, I have not played too much with it yet. I have made several videos that I have just put online without any editing. I started this week making videos for a site that I made for another business. I will need to start using this week to get the videos online.
Thanks for writing up this list.

You're most welcome, Chris! Good to know you're already having the Openshot software downloaded right on your laptop computer. So exciting! You can look into the other editing programs on the list and make a good choice of a program for your video editing. Thanks for your valuable contribution!
