Best Video Editing Software for Windows 10: Top 5 Video Editors Review 2018

Filmora offers two editing modes – easy mode for quick editing and full feature mode for more effects and advanced tools. Its full feature mode has an intuitive and modern interface where you can do all the basic editing such as trimming, cropping, rotating, adjusting speed and hues. The great thing about Filmora is its effect library, which includes over 300 handcrafted filters, overlays, titles and transitions. You can spice up your videos easily by dragging and dropping the desired effects to the timeline. Its music library is a hand chosen compilation of artists from the Pacific Northwest. The selection of genres ranges from Hispter Folk to Electric Pop, making your music search so much easier.

Windows Movie Maker
Windows Movie Maker is not included as part of Windows like the previous versions, and is not supported for Windows 10. However, we found out that the program is still fully functional under Windows 10, and you can download it on the Microsoft website.

The reason we still want to recommend Windows Movie Maker is because it’s free and easy to get started with if you have very limited video editing experience. The program works with images and videos. You can add simple titles, effects, transitions and audios to your video within 20 minutes. However, if you want fancy filters and more advanced editing tools, you might want to check some of the intermediate editors like Fimora video editor.

Corel Video Studio Pro
Another popular mid-tier video editor is Corel Video Studio Pro. It has a usable interface featuring the familiar three-panel view -- content, effects and video preview occupying half the top of the window and the timeline taking the whole bottom portion. For basic video editing, Corel offers a multi-trim tool, which lets you set multiple in and out points. Other cool features include stop-motion, which allows you to control a DSLR from within the software, and motion tracking, which allows you to track the movement of an object and apply other effects to it. It’s available at $79.99

CyberLink PowerDirector
If you have more editing experience and are looking for a near-pro-level editing tool, CyberLink PowerDirect can be an option. It offers tools for basic editing such as trimming and cropping as well as for professional editing. For example, it allows keyframe editing, a tool that offers precise control over when effects begin and end. Just like Filmora video editor, PowerDirector also offers picture-in-picture, chroma-key, overlays and cropping. It also offers over 100 transitions and effects to choose from.

When you install the software, make sure to use a computer with room to spare as it will take up nearly a gigabyte of your hard drive. The ultimate edition of PowerDirector is $129.99.

Adobe Premiere Pro
When it comes to professional-level video editing for Windows, you might have heard a lot about Adobe Premiere Pro. It is famous for its clean interface, flexible trimming tools, unlimited multicam angles and ultimate power in video editing. One new feature in Premiere Pro CC 2015 is the new Lumetri Color Panel. Adobe has built a wide array of color grading and correction tools into Premiere Pro, allowing video editors to make highly detailed and customized color adjustments. Another great tool is the Morph Cut transition, which is made to smooth over jump cuts in interviews and dialog shots.
Now Adobe offers only one way to get hold of Premiere Pro CC, which is through an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. You can choose from paying $239.88 for the annual subscription or $29.99 per month.

Now these are simply just tools to get the job done. And remember, getting great shots before you bring it into editing is the key like getting smooth shots using a stabilizer, good lighting and audio, are more important than the software. If you are new to video editing, we recommend Filmora video editor as it allows for advanced editing easily by dragging and dropping. See you next time!

I love how they flat out tell you it has a watermark, but what they don't tell you is that the watermark is literally right in the middle of the screen and completely ruins the video.

[adeadchannel]

first time seeing a company, advertising another companies' work.. lmao.. they even placed their own product on the second instead of the first..

[snowiepuppy]

i warned you. Don't WASTE your time and effort unless you purchase it. You're welcome.

3. 2:15 Premiere - Many advanced tools, Clear&Flexible interface, Easy Integration with other Adobe Software

Subcription based pricing
4. 3:15 DaVinci Resolve - Free, Optimal for colour grading, High-end results

Its Filmora all the way for me. I went from the simple interface of Windows Movie Maker straight to Filmora and I haven't regretted it one bit. Yes, it was a wee bit more technical from the extreme simplicity of WMM but not so daunting for someone like me who isn't terribly technically minded, lol. It literally took me just a few minutes to get accustomed to a new interface. And I love the support with Filmora. All of your YouTube videos have been an invaluable resource for me and I love the fact that you listen to your users and take on suggestions for upgrades, changes or add ons. I for one, am so impressed with Filmora and have no intention of using any other film editing software. Lee x

*Nobody can beat Your software is great I use your software. It is very easy to earn. I am from Pakistan, God bless you Your application is at the forefront*

[Froeg]

Hey Filmora please can you give secondary video tracks the same abilities as the main track, because currently you can only edit the audio

[TechnoMania]

Filmora is Great the way it is.
But, If You Include.
1) Motion Tracking.
2) Multiple Overlays and Filters Section. (Other Alternative Combine 2 or more into SIngle one Like In premiere Pro Layers are made one)
3)PiP Animation Duration.
4)Custom Text Animation.
5) 360-degree Video
6)Point to Point Image Axis Change.
Then Awesome FIlmora will Become Legend Filmora.

[SeculiarSamii]

Wow I can't believe Filmora made a video about other editors! Thats interesting. I really do love Filmora, its so simple and it works pretty well. ^^ Its just I would like to have an animation feature, where like you can animate images/keyframe them, so you can move your images during the video, and if you could, maybe add a feature where you can add more as many layers like Camtasia can! And if you could just make the watermark smaller like off to the side so it doesn't take up so much space over the video. :) Anyways, Filmora is still an amazing editor! ❤

Don't waste your time. I spent like 30 minutes editing a video and when I wanted to publish it, it wouldn't let me unless it had a huge watermark because I hadn't paid for it.

[Inferno]

Hit Film crashing not on 4K, just on most videos. I was trying to use that for a while and just get to the moment when I couldn't take it. Uninstall button worked like magic that day.

[Gauravchander]

u guys really helped me out, i had been struggling to get things fixed in movie maker, from last 5 hours, but i'm happy now after looking at the contents in your video ...

[oeo]

I am very satisfied with your program but it is annoying that if i use it for free at the end of my video it shows a big advertisement .i suggest you to do it smaller. You are loosing many downloads from that

[filmmakingonabudget]

Hi Filmora!, could you exagerate more the audio "lines", it would make much easier the audio synchronisation

[bjarnenilsson]

Just a note about Davinci resolve, , resolve 14 Includes faice refignment (aotmatick tracking of lips eyes etc but this requires Resolve studio, evry other traccking feature is avalable in Resolve (the free version), .The number of effects in resolve is somewhat limited but Black magic design hass a vfx package called Fusion (same pricing model as Resolve

[GISELL-bjdh]

I would enjoy Filmora( I already do) but it’s just the big watermark in the middle I would love it much more if the watermark was smaller and in a corner

[Markchance]

Nesting Feature will change Filmora, and I hope they will make an update that you can copy and paste attributes that way it's easier to apply effects

[jacob-jmxp]

I definitely seem to be interested in giving your video editing software a try but I have a question before I download. How much is the version without the watermark? And will it work well on my high-end computer running on Windows 10?

[NicklasAskling]

Filmora con:
Crashes and gives you the BUGSPLAT error when things get a little to heavy. S:
