iMovie
If you have a Mac, iMovie is great for beginners. It’s completely free and very easy to use.
VSDC
VSDC is a free video editor for Windows users and a very basic program. It can be a little tricky at first. And I’ve worked with VSDC to create 3 in-depth tutorials on how to use it.
Adobe Premiere Elements
I like to recommend Adobe Premiere Elements because it has a “training wheel”, making it an easy program to learn for newbies. It’s also packed with more advanced editing features that you can always use.
I’ve worked directly with Adobe on several Premiere Elements tutorials:
Adobe Premiere Pro
As part of the Adobe Creative Cloud platform, Adobe Premiere Pro only comes through a monthly subscription. This program is not for everyone. But it’s my favorite editing platform. If you are looking for professional video editing software, I recommend Premiere Pro.
Here’s a tutorial from my YouTube channel on how to edit videos with Premiere Pro:
Final Cut Pro
On the more advanced side, you have (Apple’s) Final Cut Pro. This might be a good fit for you if you’ve used iMovie, but you’re considering a more professional video editor.
Movies
Wondershare Filmora is great for beginners: it’s available for Mac and PC, and it’s very affordable. Ideal for all levels of editing especially beginners And there are tons of cool features and effects that are perfect for editing YouTube videos or social media videos. One great thing you can do with Filmora is record your screen for screencast to include in your video. Click here to watch my video on getting started with Filmora.

Best Screencast Software
If you’re going to create a screencast for a YouTube video, you’ll need screencast software. I personally use Screenflow and I love it. With ScreenFlow, you can record your screen, webcam, and audio. And you can also edit your recordings. Unfortunately, Screenflow is for Mac users only.
A great screencast software for Windows users is Camtasia.
Video editing app for bloggers.
Sometimes it’s easier to edit videos on your phone or tablet than on your computer. If you think this is your case There are two great apps you should know!
Adobe Premiere Rush
Adobe recently released Premiere Rush, which comes with a Creative Cloud account if you have Premiere Rush as a phone app. Your tablet and computer, and Adobe has been developed with the social video revolution in mind!
