[@kanamung]

The moment I saw ClipChamp being available through the browser, I had my suspicions. And so I installed it from the MS Store (was just a few MB of webview code, so my suspicions were now validated) and imported a 1GB video file to "quickly" start editing. And behold, it takes an hour or so before I can continue (because it needs to upload the 1GB file before you can continue working on it). ClipChamp is a FULLY CLOUD BASED solution. If you want to edit a LOT, this is NOT your solution. Go for the others.

[@vanhattfield8292]

Thanks for the added info.

[@PaulJohn01]

Looks like Kevin forgot to mention that vital info. Also CapCut is Chinese spyware.

[@khardoos7789]

thx broda

[@Oroborus710]

Thanks for the comment, I was about to try ClipChamp but decided to go with CapCut after seeing your comment. A fully cloud based only video editing service is truly only something Microsoft could come up with 🤦‍♂

[@saplingseedsaccrew3143]

Another thing about clip champ is that it's not a very well known software which means you need to solve all your own problems. Image rotation is limited to 90 degrees and It has a lot of audio issues after you export. In the editor the audio sounds good but after you export it drifts off. Would only recommend for a Simple edits shorter than 4 minutes

[@PPCHSgabrod]

I have been a powerdirector user for years. Switched to Clipchamp, following Kev's prior video, and so far is working. I just make short clips to share with kids and friends. Thank you Kevin, excellent as usual

[@KevinStratvert]

Glad to help!

[@DillionSmith-j6d]

Clipchamp is nice but you are very limited.

[@1whowasNEVERhere]

Long time power director user and it's not fun anymore. Hope it still works for you

[@kaycadette2156]

You just saved me MONEY!! I was about to use a "paid" service for a training that I am doing for work and stumbled upon this video and .... FREE video editing!! I'm going with DR for now but will be exploring the other two for future projects. Having used Final Cut pro and AVID, I'm not a beginner but I don't seek to find the most complex system to use in making simple video projects. Thanks again Kevin!

[@laxmayani8150]

Hi Kevin. What can I say . Your videos are truly amazing and priceless. I'm new to video editing and not a techno person. I need to start learning how to put short clips of my kids who play football (soccer as you lot across the pond call it) and make videos look really cool with slow motions, music, texts etc. I'll try the Clipchamp unless you have other advise. People like you make our lives so much easier with those extremely helpful advise. Please don't ever stop. Cheers

[@UrBoyLovesGaming]

I used clipchamp for quite a bit but i recommend capcut it's so much faster + has everything and more what clipchamp has except templetes + offline so u can edit anytime

[@dpchamilion4915]

Clichamp stopped working correctly 3 days ago and is now pixelated

[@rickgriffith1]

I’m currently using ShotCut after you recommended it and I’m loving it. It puts a heavy load on my seven year old pc and stutters badly during the editing process, but gives me a great video in the end. I’m not sure if I’m ready for devinci yet so I’m leaning towards the first two. And I really like the screen recording option. Thank you for the advice.👍🏼😎

[@ishrashad]

Wait...wait... recommended *ShotCut*?? Where? I prefer ShotCut to CapCut. Has Kevin recommended ShotCut somewhere?

[@Switchblade1013-]

i use shotcut. It works perfectly, but once your videos get multiple hours long, it lags so bad and often even crashes.

[@RobertSababady]

Been using DaVinci Resolve for a while as I use an ATEM ISO Extreme to record inputs from cameras as well as different soundtracks. BlackMagicDesign make GREAT products. luv em!

[@PoppaRoc-np3er]

Do you still need to unblock them from the firewall? I think that alone is suspect let alone the name of the company.

[@sownakbhattacharya8216]

I love this channel. Always something useful & productive can be learnt from the videos.

[@lonnybluebirdnest]

I wasted hours today on other editing apps but the first one in your video worked perfectly, wish Id been here first . Thanks for the help.

[@ctrlaltdestress]

I was certainly contemplating between DaVinci Resolve and CapCut but I went with the latter because of the much more lenient PC requirements since mine is pretty low-end. But to be honest, DaVinci Resolve interface and user-friendliness is personally the best for me. (I tried OpenShot and ShotCut too and they are both powerful, but CapCut and DR for me get my top votes.) Not sure about the rest of you but it could be just down to personal preferences and familiarity of use. Cheers ❤

[@sharanurg]

Why not Shotcut ....any specific reasons

[@ctrlaltdestress]

I guess it's really just personal preference. Perhaps the interface and the flow as well. But DR is a bit heavy on the PC resources though. CapCut on the other hand is really fast and low on resources.

[@yammmit]

da vinci does not take a powerful PC to run whatsoever

[@Turbo-DF]

shotcut is cancer and im here because for the last time it has over scrubbed the timeline and screwed up my editing, no thank you@@sharanurg

[@Amandajones-kv4pk]

Its great thinking good to see everything's .

[@nevado.]

Dear Kevin, You are one of my best friends and coaches whom I follow and learn from on KZbin. So many thanks for your kind and full support.

[@devodevo_mm2]

TYSM FOR THE !!!!

[@DYILIFE1776]

Hello Kevin, I started using Shotcut based on one of your previous videos and I'm still learning how to use it. What are your thoughts between Shotcut and Clipchamp? Should I stop using Shotcut and make the switch?

[@glenbates9460]

Great information. I presently use Wondershare Filmora 12. Considering that I only use it 3 or 4 times a year it is steep re-learning curve each time.

[@couc9066]

This not work anymore, new working version on my channel!

[@MuffinDaMoose]

Bro what are those emojis💀

[@farruxbozorov3205]

[@Kanovskiy]

Thanks for all these videos. I discovered ClipChamp and CapCut because of you. I started editing by using Microsoft's Video Editor bundled with Windows 10 and now I've started using the other two.

[@DonPasco]

Wow! Way too complicated for me, but I appreciate all you do to show me what's available.

[@klyfreelancer]

Thanks for making this so informative and easy to understand!

[@cee2615]

You are amazing, thank you for this info. Will watch again as I have lots of little videos I have taken and done nothing with. Time to take action 🎉

[@zku6rs]

Hey man, just wanted to stop and thank you for the content. Clear and straight to the point... couldn't ask for anything better.

[@ThenTell]

You were the guy who recommended Davinci Resolve to me, I have been using it ever since. Thank you so much Kevin!

[@marcogutierrez9700]

Every time I look at one of your newer videos, I can tell they are getting better. Add to that great content, you're one of my go-to youtubers. Thanks.

[@rontarrant]

DaVinci Resolve has one drawback for those with bad eyes... there is only a 'dark mode.' Some people (myself included) can't use dark mode because it physically hurts to look at it. I spoke to the developer about it, but they have no plans to provide a light mode. So I use Shotcut.

[@saishreekrishna8098]

can you please tell me where Shotcut is available

[@EzekJohnson]

Another Amazing video, Kevin. You’re a star.

[@ryaneigenfeld5133]

Holy man this is an awesome video. I am a movie buff but horrible with technology! So informative for just getting started! Thank you for the down to earth explanations. Very talented. Subscribed!

[@geralddahl9159]

I will use ClipChamp. Q: How to add ‘click here’ link in upper right that navigates to related video? (Or do you define this functionality when you upload to KZbin??) Thank you.

[@KevinStratvert]

In the video details in Creator Studio, you can add cards to videos which link out to web sites, videos, playlists, etc.

[@J-DUB-F1]

This exactly what I've been looking for. I'd never heard of the first two. Devince I've only recently heard about when asking a friend how they made their videos. Time to take the plunge!

[@KevinStratvert]

Go for it!

[@philippe9280]

Thanks Kevin. I was tired of the limited (but expensive) Adobe premiere elements. For example, adding closed caption is not possible in my version. Clipchamp seems like a good alternative

[@kingcartierjs7022]

I used Clipchamp and it’s not bad but it messed up my audio a little bit 🤦‍♂️

[@SHADOMEGA7569]

i know im late on the reply but the fact premiere doesnt have half the bells and whistles resolve does really says something. why do i need to install 5 different programs to get what resolve does off 1 install

[@bh8365]

I have been exploring Clipchamp thanks to Kevin. But I'll soon try to tackle DaVinci Resolve.

[@nehemiathebuilder1995]

Kevin when i look to your videos i really get inspired 🥰🥰🥰

[@fuzzyheadted]

Exceptional video - clear, straightforward, and easy to follow. Never even knew I had Clipchamp already installed. Thanks for the recommendation!!

[@logi_kal2638]

Awesome Job Brother! Love the explanation of all your recommendation. I feel I can jump right in and get started

[@lifehackingsecrets]

Thank you so much for this. It helped more than you know. I've already spent a ton of money on video creators and editors, and most of them are worthless. I can't afford anymore, so this helps. Again, thank you.

Thank you. This video helped me edit my KZbin video for my channel.

[@josemuanespinto7675]

Hi @KevinStratvert, thank you for this amazing video, I'm very impressed with CapCut it has features that I did not find in the video's editor that I use, Invideo, and also I have been using Canva to edit videos but is a very hard, now I think that you show me a solution of my problems. I just start to make videos to KZbin this month, but I'm an advertising professional since 1979, I just did not have work in Digital before.

[@vloghype]

I all ready use Davinci resolve for my KZbin channel but still learning everything. Watching your vid showed me a lot more stuff to learn. Thank you.

[@jessievelasco6074]

Ima get DaVinci resolve for sure

[@johnygthing]

Is there a time limit restriction for videos on the free davinchiresolve

[@albertdowrn]

I'm making a video for KZbin on Davinci Resolve. I was getting media file errors on some clips I shot with my Fuji camera. I was perplexed because some played others wouldn't. Then I remembered the clips that were usable I had edited with MS Video Editor. I edited the others and bingo, I'm able to include the clips I want! Thanks Kevn!

[@sophiachanna6848]

Why do they have to be edited with a different editor (MS Editor) to work in DaVinci Resolve? I don't understand why you couldn't upload all your footage from your fusion camera straight onto DaVinci Resolve :(

[@endeavour2968]

Honestly I’m tempted by Da Vinci resolve

[@northportfloridarealestate8664]

I have it and a nightmare with the recording aspect. Searching for another. Until they change that, do NOT get it.

[@HerrHafiz]

nice i love your info and tutorial . keep it coming! greetings from malaysia

[@HerrHafiz]

davinci is like blender, where capcut and clipchamp is more likely a paint3D..if i translate into 3d modelling

[@KevinStratvert]

Good analogy!

[@stevenfairless4931]

My venture into complexity is hitting the wrong button initiating a vanishing act. We are getting into fishing and music videos, currently in a very beginner stage, for friends and family. Your video and links are enlightening; thanks Kevin !!

[@rayzor07]

Hi Kevin, would you be so kind as to make a video on creating Pivot using the Data Model and how I can group certain criteria for example: doing an Age Analysis of all items that fall in the Age Category of say 0-30 days, 31 to 60 days, etc. I have been using the Group Function in PIVOT, but as soon as I create the Pivot and Add it to the Data Model, I cannot group anymore. So a Video on how to do this using the Data Model would be great, unless you already have done such a video in your huge library of videos?

[@jjack77]

Capcut is great! its what I have been using recently!

[@wearetrackclub]

Really helpful information for video creators! These are great options 🎥

[@alexandermopera4005]

I will try this now. i think this the right video editor for me.

[@adrianajones7181]

Thank you you’re always so helpful and you’re easy on the eyes as well

[@eoolagunju]

Great info, many thanks. I prefer CapCut.

[@RACKY902]

I had to wait a long time for your video. Thank you very much for all the knowledge you are sharing with us

[@KevinStratvert]

[@Tazimful]

Hi Kevin, you are really as amazing as your informative videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@v.g.3640]

Hi Kevin, I have found very interesting this video and I would like to know more about DaVinci Resolve. If I am going to learnt how to edit a video, I want to study the best one. Thank you Kevin for all of your help.

[@KevinStratvert]

Check out the following intro video on DaVinci Resolve: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3bOpIOaeshql6s Casey Faris has an amazing KZbin channel with hundreds of tutorials.

[@RickOShay]

Very good review and demos. Thanks.

[@AiGuru]

Thank you 😊 But for me, CapCut is the king

[@KevinStratvert]

CapCut is ahead of the game with all of its AI features.

[@osmandemirozz]

loved all of the apps , useful thanks

[@KevinStratvert]

So glad!

[@theyoutubejourney2024]

Thanks. This was so useful. I was using imovie and now I have some more options. 🎉

[@hirutassefagebrekidan41]

Thanks, is all tools free from copyright claims? I would like to use for my youtube video

[@LawrenceFisher]

But how do you remove the background? I was waiting for that

[@KevinStratvert]

Check out 8:31... in CapCut, click into a video clip, go to properties, then cutout, and auto cutout. That'll automatically remove the background. You can then place a static image or video clip under the clip with the cutout background on the timeline.

[@MiselHader]

Great video as always. I use Capcut as it is much less taxing on my PC. To use Davinci you need an expensive rig that can handle it and it is much harder to learn which is fine if you want to create a amzing 4K video. Most people create a quick shorts or two and I believe Capcut does the job perfectly, but that is just my opinion.

[@markwalker8374]

Great quick overview. I like birding and want to get more into videoing short clips of bird behaviour (say 10 second clips or 5 to 10 mins of footage and and cut usable clips out of that) so I will need to denoise low light high iso, low res, stabilise shaky shots and need slow-mo at 4k 120p/240p. I am aware of Topaz but its pricey for a retired amateur. I'm a Macbook Pro (M1 chip). Does the answer lay within DaVinci?

[@alexhardao2742]

excellent demonstration and explanation of each in use

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Ahhhh man!!!! You showed me how to use shotcut..sticking with it, as I'm dumb.

[@block9390]

@Kevin,you are so good at explaining...thanks

[@RandomVidMoments]

Thank you, Kevin. This is very helpful.

[@suvankardas6287]

Hi Kevin, very useful video. I wish to use the DaVinci as I have time to go through the learning curve. One basic question.. I saw the free version offers project export option at 8K. Can I use 4k/8K videos captured from my camera in the media pool and do editsin the free version or limited only to HD quality? Thanks for making great videos.

[@Fitcher1]

We should appreciate this guy's effort,without him i might would have had lost my mind in DaVinci Resolve

[@DeeGems]

Best KZbinr I must say 💯💯💯💯💯 Nice video I will look into some secrets

[@ziaahasanrana7629]

Thanks for your great Tutorial.

[@MrDJsArcade]

Thanks so much for this video! I’m going with Davinci resolve but the other two were great options and buildup. Great presentation as always. I’m gonna watch your other videos on how to use it. I’m excited to get editing now!

[@akramnajjar]

Hello Kevin and thanks for your wonderful videos. Can you add a video on how to add and use chapters in MP4 files? Any special software you recommend (free or paid for) Thank you

[@ripmcmanus773]

Very helpful video. I'd say #2 and #3 are excellent recommendations, apps designed for different skill levels and PC processing powers. But Clipchamp? Horrible. Some text options are frustratingly limited. You're dependent on Internet access, which can make fine editing imprecise, especially as your timeline gets longer and more complicated. Some free features have become premium features, so you can't assume something you use today will be available free tomorrow. Plus, the premium upgrade is crazy expensive. There's a reason it's only rated 2.8 stars on the Microsoft Store LOL! Clipchamp is Microsoft finding ways to make money, not finding ways to provide good software.

[@UkeJackson]

Might as well shoot for the top - DaVinci Resolve - since any learning curve is going to be steep for me. Thank you! This was just the information I was looking for.

[@BusTVChan]

I never really edit my videos recently because they are mostly clips but I need a video editor to but clips together and I need to export at atleast 4k I will try cap cut

[@CrocEnjoyer]

i instantly downloaded davinci resolve the second you said that was what you used because you have really well made videos

[@wenexplosion5538]

is the daVinci resolve a trial of 30 days kind of free or free free with some locked tools until you pay for the studio version?

[@AniJovan]

thank u kevin for helping start up editing my basic video in the future😀😀😀 GJ

[@lial216]

Love this video, thank you for the information! I am starting my channel, so i had no idea where to start with the video editing.

[@gabi.a]

perfect video, showing us the features is very very helpfull in chooosing a tool

[@hayyananas4674]

I have never liked a single video on youtube bcos it get saved in the liked videos which some how irritates me but this video is far too important to ignore Liking The Video....... Amazing Content....

[@aristotlealive4266]

you are the most simple and good person on net who explain complex thing in very nice way

[@petrtv-xg3lr]

really good overview for beginers. thank you Kevin

[@wax99]

The main thing I dislike is the watermark at the end. I've spent some time dabbling until I create something I really like...until I convert the video and find out there's an unremovable watermark unless I pay the premium membership. Went through this with several programs that at some point were also "free" at some point until my wife got the adobe membership (for work) and now I can use Premier Pro. It is an absolute powerhouse of a program but it comes with an incredibly sharp learning curve. Really dislike the UI though.

[@KevinStratvert]

You should try DaVinci Resolve. It's comparable to Premier Pro but with After Effects built in.

[@brandonkoh8361]

For clip champ, Im no expert and have never used the software before, but a possible way around the watermark problem for using say songs that require payment is to just create a completely new project, use the song in that project, save it as a separate video, and then import the video into clip champ again, but basically only use the audio.

[@derplc]

Great advice as always, thanks Kevin, you're a champ!!

[@WeekendGamerTX]

DaVinci Resolve is amazing.

[@smartcamping]

You nailed it for me, bro. An excellent and simple guide

[@joonasmakinen4807]

Kdenlive is quite powerful as well, and it is open source.

[@KevinStratvert]

Yes! That's another excellent choice!

[@broderp]

Clip Champ is rated 2.8 stars in this video, doesn't sound so good to me...the other two seem really good, thanks for sharing!
