either you have shot a perfect photo or a memorable video with your phone or camera, you always want to give it a finishing touch before you upload it on Facebook, Instagram or Youtube. To edit your shots you need a tool, if you don't want to spend any dollar on these software and just want enough tools to normally edit your video to make it great, you might face some problems finding the right software.

I do alot of video editing and I also faced problems in finding the perfect editor. Now I am starting of with the video editor I use and then toward more which are available..

1- Camtasia Studio

For me Camtasia studio 8 is quite sober and perfect, the newer version seems to be little havier and not running very efficiently on my laptop. Although Camtasia studio is not totally free, they will give you the trial version first and I fully recomend you to buy the product and please don't use torrent to download the crack+software to get the software for free which you will get on internet quiete easily without spending a peny.

2 - Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is the built-in Video Editor in Windows and Microsoft seems to gave an extra effort to modify and advance this movie maker.It is free and perfect for basic video editing and it is extremely easy to learn.

3- Wondershare Filmora (Windows/Mac)

System requirements

For Windows

Supported OS: Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10 (64 bit OS recommended)
Processor: Intel or AMD processor, 2GHz or above
RAM: At least 2GB physical RAM (8GB required for HD and 4K videos)
Download it from:
https://filmora.wondershare.com/tech-spec.html

For Mac

Operating System: OS X 10.9 or later. Fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.12 (macOS Sierra)
Download it from:
https://filmora.wondershare.com/mac-tech-spec.html

Wondershare Filmora (formerly Wondershare Video Editor) is the perfect option if you want to start out with basic video editing functionality while also having the opportunity to get more advanced as you go.

The program's "Easy Mode" strips away the complexity so you can drag and drop video clips, choose a pre-designed theme, add some music, and produce a finished video in a matter of minutes. Go into "Full Feature Mode," however, and you'll be able to do much, much more -- from adding transitions, filters, and overlays, to playing video clips in reverse, to using split-screen effects.

Sound too good to be true? Well, you're right: The free version of Wondershare Filmora adds a watermark to your videos that you can only remove through upgrading to their paid service. (and don't use the pirated one with crack available)

4- Blender (Windows/Mac/Linux)

System requirements:

for Windows/Mac

64-bit quad core CPU
8 GB RAM
Full HD display with 24 bit color
Three button mouse
OpenGL 3.2 compatible graphics with 2 GB RAM
Downlaod it from: https://www.blender.org/download/

The open source program Blender is more than just a video editor: It's a full-blown 3D animation suite, which allows for modeling, rendering, motion tracking, and more.

On the video editing side, there are a ton of features, including transitions, speed control, filters, adjustment layers, and more. There are also 32 slots available for adding video clips, audio clips, images, and effects, which means you can produce some incredibly complex video.

For the amateur video editor, all the functionality that's available can be a bit overwhelming. But if you're looking to produce truly professional-quality video -- without having to deal with watermarks -- Blender is a solid option. The best part: "You are free to use Blender for any purpose, including commercially or for education," according to its website. For the fine print, check out its licensing info.

5- Lightworks (Windows/Mac/Linux)

Like Blender, Lightworks is definitely on the more advanced (and powerful) end of the video editing software spectrum. In fact, it's a program that's been used to edit some well-known and award-winning films, including Pulp Fiction, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The King’s Speech.

There are two different licenses you can choose from with Lightworks: "Free" and "Pro." (The latter of which, as you might have guessed, requires that you cough up some cash.) The main difference between the two licenses is that the Pro version offers more features, including stereoscopic output and advanced project sharing. But the free version is still quite powerful, providing 100+ effects and supporting multicam editing.

6- Shotcut (Windows/Mac/Linux)

System requirements

for Windows/Mac/Linux

Operating system: 64-bit Windows 7 - 10, Apple OS X 10.8 - 10.10, or 64-bit Linux with at least glibc 2.13.

CPU: x86-64 Intel or AMD; at least one 2 GHz core for SD, 2 cores for HD, and 4 cores for 4K.

GPU: OpenGL 2.0 that works correctly and is compatible. On Windows, you can also use a card with good, compatible DirectX 9 or 11 drivers. We do not have a list.

RAM: At least 4 GB for SD, 8 GB for HD, and 16 GB for 4K.

Hard drive: yes, get one; the bigger, the better :-)

Network: Shotcut does NOT require access to the network to activate, check a subscription, or send usage analytics. However, some links in the Help menu do link out to this web site. If you have files on a fast (at least 1 Gb/s) network share you can access them from there through your operating system.

Shotcut is another open source video software -- and it's completely free. It's possible to use Shotcut to create professional-looking videos, but the interface is tricky to use. Perhaps that's because it was originally developed for the Linux platform, which looks and feels a lot different from the typical Windows or Mac UX.

With dedication -- and time spent in the Shotcut frequently asked questions and how-to guide sections -- it's possible to use this software to create and export high-quality videos, completely for free.
