That might do what I need it to do, and its not too much money. I definitely want to download the free trial of Premier elements. I will try out some of the others mentioned here, and see which one fits nicer. (Freestyle animations will look better with a lower framerate) There are some limitations in the free version, such as you can only 1 export option for youtube at 720p, and it doesn’t support 12 FPS video. I tried out Lightworks, and it works pretty nicely. Blender’s VSE just seems too clunky to me, even when I was getting it working in the past. The tool, whatever it is, ought to fit on your hand like an old, familiar, comfy leather glove that you can wear for hours. What really matters most, I think, is simply: “ease and familiarity of workflow.” You need to easily be able to drop strips in, pick the right in/out points, slide the audio tracks just-so, and it’s all second nature to you. So, it’s really not a “technically challenging” requirement from a video point-of-view. Thus, no need in my case for some of the truly-advanced capabilities of high end tools. But also, all of the material being used is “pristine.” There’s no need to try to make-up for shortcomings in the source material. “Take-offs” from the final cut will determine what actually is rendered: what frame-numbers, cameras, scenes and so forth. So, a lot of, “well, what if we try this?” … and the rendering, such as will eventually be needed, hasn’t been done yet. Looking for issues of timing, voice, pace of the show, and how the stuff will combine with other material including “The Ken Burns Effect™” still photos, and so on. But it’s “klunky,” for me, in terms of setting-up the final show (or, rather, the “final-cut edit” that will determine the final show).Īnd that’s a point worth noting: Most of the time, I’m editing crude strips that came from preview renders using stand-in objects, very early in the process. when several layers need to be combined in this way into one. VSE is very powerful, and I use it to generate some “strips” e.g. I’ve also seen great work being done with … iMovie. Blender is a 3D modelling program, not a compositing. I use a Mac, and for years have used a now-ancient Final Cut Pro. I know you can edit in them, but you can also edit in After Effects. I’m sure that, if you really need to do what it’s designed to do, “it’s the cat’s meow.” But it can also be great overkill. Adobe makes some great … expensive(!!) … software.
