I have to say, i found your channel when searching for KineMaster Video Editor for Android Reviews, and have now been a loyal subscriber. Thanks for all that you do. I downloaded your PrimalVideo Editor pdf, and it has helped me out a lot so far. I have just downloaded Davinchi Resolve, and will be progressing towards a youtube channel now. I have 2 dell latitude d620's, one running linux mint, the other is my OS tester. But i also have a mid 2010 macbook pro which i will be upgrading here soon with 16gb of ram and a ssd. Im sure that will put me in the game with editing. Blessings -JTrue

wooow thank you so much i´ve been looking for a good video review about this topic great video keep doing a great job buddy

[markjohnston]

very clear and concise, thank you. You don't mention why iMovie not recommended - is it not a good route to FCP X?

[mdjrodjevicbgd]

I watched your videos from over 2 years ago when you mentioned 3 different editing software and none of them was Final cut pro X (AVID, Premier Pro, ...) and now I see that Final cut pro X has became your personal preference is really amazing 😁😀

[ColmHarling]

For a novice which is easier to grasp Screenflow or Adobe Premiere Elements? Brilliant presentation, clear articulate advice, thank you!

[SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks for another great video, really helpful 👍🏼

[billionlazer]

This is the best video on this topic, thank you so much! I'm gonna share this with some of my friends who still use iMovie and Windows Movie Maker. Thank you again!

[BlackReformedBaptist]

Thanks! I was trying to decide on a top tier video editing software for Mac. I was leaning toward Final Cut. Glad to hear you recommend it.

Excellent job, well spoken- thank you!

[raquelilano]

Great advice my friend. I mainly shoot stills but im getting bored with it. I will try davinci resolve for free. Thanks and keep up the good work

If you can't afford final cut pro 10, you can get motion 5 (which like after effects except more simple but with less features). It is harder to make transitions and stuff like that but it's only 50 bucks!

one of the very few trullyyy awesome videos!

[dudewithadog]

Thanks for all the useful info; some of the softwares I was not familiar with.

Couple things to add: FCPX blows Premiere out of the water when it comes to 4K video editing, and has the best media browser bar none (showing audio waveforms alone is an incredible time saver when searching for the right SFX files, etc.), so even Premiere users should really own a copy of FCPX as well these days, even if just for browsing and finding of files which makes up so much of the workflow.

Praise God! Justin you're moving by leaps and bounds, another great video. I really enjoy your channel! Be well and stay encouraged!
