Im sure most of you probably own a mac as i agree there better for video editing?  What piece of software do you use? On windows?

sony vegas 14 and adobe premiere pro 2017

Photoshop (yes Photoshop!), Premier Pro, & Davinci resolve (free) too as my Adobe apps are getting a bit long in the tooth.

The same question was asked just a couple of days ago in this thread and yes, the video editing software I use (Cyberilnk PowerDirector) runs on Windows.

I use Cyberlink Power Director as well, easy to use and intuitive.

+1 for Power Director. Keep your eye on Cyberlink's site as they have deals all the time.

personally hated power director. but last time i used it was a while back now...
solidly only use the adobe CS6 package (Photoshop and Premier Pro)

cyberlink here as well. im new to it though im coming from windows movie maker. if you guys have any tips on how to make good videos and color grade with it mavic videos specifically id appreciate some tips, thanks.

Cyberlink as well.  

Adobe Premiere Elements 2018. No subscription required.

Sony Vegas works great for me.

Photoshop and Premiere elements

Hey, I say it would all depend on how much editing/learning you want to do, what specs you have, and the price you're willing to spend on an editor.

Personally, I use Premiere Pro. If you sign up as a student, you get the whole 20 something apps for $20 monthly for a year including Photoshop, After Effects and Lightroom. One advantage to subscription-based service is you get every update that comes out. They just did one few says ago where the software will match the colors from one clip to another in a click.

DAVINCI RESOLVE 14 Plenty tutorials on Youtube.

I started out using Filmora, didn't  like it so I switched to Adobe Premier Elements, liked it even less. Finally I ended up with Cyberlink Power Director and will most likely stay with that one.

Why does not the trial version of Cyberlink Power Director support video format in .MOV format?

I started out using HitFilm Express, however I don't recommend it unless you are looking to add a lot of effects or make short films that you are integrating your aerial footage into.  It is a little bit complicated to add text and do certain things in the software.  

From there I briefly tried DaVinci Resolve, which was much more intuitive, but I didn't use it for long  because it kept crashing on my machine.  

Finally I took advantage of a student discount on and Adobe CC subscription for only $20 per month for the first year.  I have found Premiere Pro very intuitive and much easier to put videos together with.  

I started with Davinci Resolve, but it kept crashing (this was probably because my PC is not up to it). Then tried one called Lightworks, which looked good, but was often losing my project clips - the links to the source clips would break, and just could not be recovered.

Ended up using an open-source app called ShotCut - now it looks like there's no colour-correction features in this, it's just straight up editing software (chopping clips up, adding music etc). Seems really lightweight, and is free - will do until i get a bit more serious/experienced with the videography stuff.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Photoshop and Lightroom.  All work great for me.

Shotcut does have color correction, grading, etc., can even use 3D LUTs. I'm not familiar with the windows version, but it should be under filters.

Yesterday started again  the Humble Bundle collection including the Vegas Pro 14 package and some other programs. It's less than 17 euros for the whole package and I bought it just for Vegas Pro 14. It arrived at the perfect timing because I was also looking for a video editing software!
