It will run on even the most modest computer albeit slower. If you know what you are doing and know what you want then FFMPEG is a gift from the video gods. I'm not a power user or rep, so I probably couldn't answer many of your specific questions beyond this. The free version doesn't use hardware acceleration, so I just go make a sandwich if it's rendering something long. These decisions usually come up in pop-ups, but I had to look at a couple online tutorials when I wanted to do anything non-intuitive. Even then, there are other things to select, such as whether you want the audio to be on its own track, placed where your cursor is or somewhere else, etc. That's a quick idea of how it goes to use it for a very basic operation. You can drag the end of your video, on the timeline, to shorten it or add black space at the end, but I've never used the tools to change its speed. Then click Add Object on upper left part of the screen, and select Audio from the dropdown, and then follow the on-screen instructions to add your audio. Click that, and then select the blue bar that represents the audio on the timeline, and then click the scissors. On the bottom of that list (small writing) it says separate audio from video. Scroll down this list of stuff on the right side of the screen. I’m not trying to challenge Hollywood productions, haha, just trying to make some decent quality videos simply.I use VSDC for very basic stuff because it's easy. Having superimposed video pieces on top of each other would be awesome. And being able to cut and arrange the video pieces would really be mostly what I’d need. even as simple as an iPhone would more than likely suffice. I’d like to just drag a song and a video into a project, easily mute the video sound, and have the option to have the video play to the length of the song, whether it’s speeded up or slowed down. They have some cool stuff.Īnd don’t need too many bells and whistles vs simplicity. I used to use their FX software for muzzle flashes, smoke plumes, etc. I have the Studio version, but free Davinci is hard to beat.Īnother one that I've been long interested in is FXHome's HitFilm Express, which is also free. Been a while since I touched Premiere, but it's pretty awesome, also. Now that I'm shooting Blackmagic RAW, I'm loving the fact that Davinci can change your ISO settings, in post (as long as you shoot 400 or 3200 dual native ISOs). I had been using Premiere, since version 5, in 2000. I still have the Adobe Suite subscription (Premiere, AE, PS, etc.). I've used Davinci on my last 2 indie features, and several smaller projects. My camera, which you can see here, outputs straight to an SSD drive, so no more worrying about SD or CFast cards, which has been liberating. My editing PC is about 5 years old, but I have a decent graphics card (the old GTX 1660 Super), with 32 gigs of RAM. I pretty much have to shoot 4K, for my movie ventures. My buddy runs a video company, and he shoots 1080 for interviews and industrial stuff. (or hire a camera)Yeah, 4K is definitely a beef hog. And fast SD cards, and a camera that can shoot 4K without problems. You'll need a very beefy machine to edit that.
