Editing Softwares

Editing Software

When looking for an editing software I wanted to use I looked for these minimum requirements.

• Accessible from anywhere(web-based)
• Ability to lay multiple tracks (both audio and video)
• Ability to strip or mute audio and natural sounds from video
• Ability to collaborate with other users

Based off those requirements I chose a few editing software's that had all of these and some having more features than other. The editing software's I chose to pick from between theses few. Openshot.org, clipchamp.com, DaVinci Resolve 17, and VideoPad.

DaVinci Resolve

VideoPad

Based off of all the features they had and looking at tutorials to see the interface of each editing software I chose to go with Clipchamp. I decided on this one using an elimination process. When I looked at the tutorials to see the interface I looked for which one was simple and easy to use. So I first eliminated DaVinci Resolve and Openshot because they had way too many gimmicks that I wasn't quite educated on yet. After I had to choose between Clipchamp and VideoPad and chose Clipchamp as it was much easier to use at least for me and contained most features the rest of the software's had. I might move over to VideoPad once I get some experience with Clipchamp, but until that happens I'm going with Clipchamp.
