The Powerful (& Free!) Video Editor We Use
Every year we test and review all the leading free video editors for Mac & PC, and every year we’re shocked by how far these free tools have come.
They’ve come so far, that we’ve gone ahead and cancelled our Adobe Premiere Pro & Final Cut Pro subscriptions and now edit all of our YouTube videos in a free video editor: DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve is our number one recommendation for anyone wanting an advanced video editing tool. It’s power-packed, professional software used by everyone from YouTubers to Hollywood pros.
The complexity inside DaVinci Resolve can be a tad overwhelming, which is why we recently released a dedicated DaVinci Resolve Video Editing Course. This course is designed to take those robust capabilities we love and break them down into easily-digestible lessons, so you can become a confident video editor in just 4 hours.
If this has piqued your interest, you can learn more about the new course here (with a pretty big discount code to make it super accessible for Primal Video Insiders).
Or if you’re after a free video editor but DaVinci Resolve doesn't sound quite right for you, make sure you check out our recent roundup of the Best Free Video Editing Software For Mac & PC for another incredible option.
