Hi, just purchased a p3p and I see all these great videos from you guys, just wondering what video editing software is being used for the edits. I see the dji app has a built in video editing software but I think I'm more comfortable using a computer. I'm new to video editing, so I guess I will like to get something that's easy to use but still looks great. Thanks guys!!!!

Hi,jayanthonybeatz
You can try the Premier  . Hope that will help .

Final Cut Pro X works well also.

Jay,

Just starting out, try Windows Movie Maker. It's free and it's fairly easy to use. it doesn't have the bells and whistles that Premiere does but it's a great way to get a few clips produced. I hear a lot of people also use Cyberlink Video Studio. I've tried a few of them now and did a lot of stuff with Windows Movie Maker but I'm starting to look for more editing capabilities. I've started learning Premiere Elements and GoPro studio recently but haven't produced much with them. They're a bit more complex, it's taking a bit to find my way around.

This will give you an idea on what you can expect from something like WMM. Nothing at all like what the pros around here can do but it'll give you an idea on a simple approach.

If you're on Macs I recommend iMovie. It comes free with the computer and it's recently been updated to support 4k output. It's super easy and does the basics well. Also renders the results quickly even on the less powerful Macbook Airs. I've had the Final Cut Pro trial for 30 days and I loved it, but I do not shoot for money so I could not justify the FCP price after iMovie got updated with 4k support.

Aloha jay,

     Besides the other options they have mentioned, Davinci Resolve 12 is free and has amazing color editing and matching.  There is a professional version and a free version.  The free version does not have the bells and whistles of the professional version, but it really lets you get the feel for high quality editing.  In any one you choose, notice the codecs, formats and resolutions you can choose since that really affects the end product.  Anything less than a 1080p product is going to display less clear on our 1080p monitors and TVs.  (YouTube likes 720p for users because it is easy to upload and download, but the video quality is noticeable.)  Most of the versions mentioned allow drag and drop editing and various phases for the editing process, so pick a winner and get rolling!

Aloha and Drone On!

I use Premiere and have from version 4.  It's really overkill for most work though.

I started with iMovie on my Macbook Pro. Now I am learning Cyberlink Power Director 13 Ultra on my PC desktop.

Thanks fo all the great recommendations! I'll definitely try some of these!

GoPro Studio is free. There are several payware products out there that are better, but GoPro Studio will help you easily get your feet wet.

Hi ,

like mentioned previoulsy  ,gopro studio is a free and simple way to practice and get fast professionnal looking  videos .

I'm now using PowerDirector 14 on PC , works well , does more than i need .

It's kind of addictive once you start to make your own movies . I know it is for me

I have used iMove on my mac.  Easy to use and does a very good job.

I also use Imovie for some simple footage. it is pretty easy to use. But for some serious videos Premiere or Final cut are better
