My nephew wants some video editing software.
I know about Adobe Premire but it's too expensive and he doesn't want a subscription based service.
Any ideas of a decent stand alone application that is reasonably priced?
 
Maybe Vegas Movie Studio?

In the past (many years ago) I had Adobe Premiere and it was like I was a Beta tester...............aweful :( I then used for somewhile Ulead Movie Studio..............that was very good IMO but was then it went out of business/was sold and the newer iterations by comparison I gather have suffered!

The Vegas Movie Studio I got a few years back as freebie with with something else, I have done only a couple of very minor projects with and from what I recall it was OK to use etc

HTH perhaps :).
 
I use Davinci Resolve as in the link above, it look complicated but isn't too bad once you get going with it. There are plenty of free tutorials around for it.
 
There’s Premiere Elements that’s quite cheap and straightforward to use.
 
Wondershare filmora9. watch the Justin Brown primal video quick start vid, I found it excellent + its free and easy to use and its what I try when using the drone, need to take more time with it but now the dark nights are here...…..

i found the trouble with Vagas was the 32bit memory limit which tended to show itself when you started to render out the final video which was annoying
there was a couple of workarounds, one involved using less cores for the render but slowed down the task and the other was to patch the vagas executable to allow it to use 4gig of memory instead of 2
apart from that i found it very good especially the 5.1 surround sound capability which i havn't seen in other editing software or should i say not as easily implemented as it is in vagas

it's a few years ago since i last looked at vagas so it might of gone to 64bit since then which would cure the memory limit problem

lately iv'e just used proshow studio to do quick edits to 1080p video which isn't really for editing video but it will do what i need it to do and render it out from there in to whatever format i need at the time
