![]() ![]() If you’re looking for something speedy, however, plan ahead: Premiere Rush is a little slow when it comes to letting you view previews of your work, regardless of if you’re on a computer or a mobile device. Furthermore, uploading your finished product to social media platforms is pretty easy all it takes is one-click. Just like Munch, Adobe Premiere Rush offers smooth transitions from landscape to portrait orientation. It’s downloadable on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, meaning that users have the ability to edit their video everywhere and from any device. ![]() ![]() In terms of easy access, Adobe Premiere Rush has got it. But, as the website says, Adobe Premiere Rush is “Fun, intuitive, and as fast as social media.” If you’re anything like me, you think of anything with the name Adobe attached to it as the antithesis of free. ![]() But, again, the beauty of free software is you can try ‘em all. People have claimed the software isn’t as ‘intuitive’ to use as other editing software though, so that’s something to keep in mind. Users have the ability to immediately identify the consequences of their actions. If you want to start producing feature films, on the other hand, get ready to cough up $24.99 a month.Īnother perk of the software? Its ability to edit in real time. What this means is that as long as you want to keep on producing videos intended for YouTube, you’re completely in the clear. But, it does not differ from the paid version in terms of its features and functions, only in terms of output. So, a quick disclaimer: There’s also a paid version of Lightworks. The recipient of a 2017 Emmy award and much acclaim, Lightworks has even been used to edit movies headed by some of Hollywood’s most prestigious directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Baz Luhrmann (twice), and even Martin Scorsese.īy this point you’re probably wondering if Scorsese is aware that his Oscar-winning work is the product of a free editing software. So, download Lightworks below and get editing!Ĭheck back on Fridays for more awesome free software recommendations from Netris.A non-linear editing software, Lightworks has been hailed by the pros. With all that said, it is a worthwhile investment for such a feature-rich, powerful application. This puts Lightworks more in the “freemium” category rather than true freeware. It’s also worth mentioning that you will need to create an account to maintain the free license. The download includes a 30-day trial of Lightworks Pro, after the trial period expires, you will automatically be converted to a free license. Now, I feel like I need to mention that Lightworks has been pushing their “Pro” (read: not free) version for some time now, but you can still download Lightworks for free from their website. Also there is a good catalog of tutorial videos and thriving community of users and contributors to help if you have questions or get stuck. There are Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux versions available for download so whichever platform you choose, you’re good to go. Lightworks is so powerful and capable of producing professional results that it’s been used in several popular feature films. I’ll be honest, for someone with almost no experience with video editing and production, there was a small initial learning curve, but once I got past that, I was cranking out quality content in no time. I knew this would not cut it for the project I was working on, so I started looking for an alternative - enter Lightworks. Prior to this assignment, I had only worked with the now-defunct Windows Movie Maker. Now, I did not then, nor do I now, fancy myself a video editor / producer, but I rarely turn down a challenge. A while back I had the task of editing some videos, syncing them with music, adding some overlay effects, and preparing them for YouTube publication. It goes out to all you videographers and YouTube content producers. This Freebie Friday features software that is a bit more specialized and not as “general-purpose” as most previous entries in the series. ![]()
