We left aside the most common programs available in the market for the general public and looked for software that aims to satisfy the needs of advanced users in areas as video editing, color grading or special effects and compositing. In this guide we look at some of the options available, both new and old, with mention of solutions for Windows, Mac, Linux and, when available, for some other operating systems.
The list of available software is growing, with the recent HitFilm3 Express as a good example of a NLE editor that also does special effects, for FREE. Still, the simple fact of being able to play with adequate tools for video creation may help to define careers and move more people towards the higher end products. The truth, though, is that, for many users, the base program will be more than enough. Some of these, let’s call them Freemium products, will be used to capture the attention of the market and build a community of users, while pointing to expansions or programs that offer more options. They explore the market for alternative solutions, including free versions, a trend that seems to be expanding.
Many professionals in the video editing industry have grown with a list of programs as their reference for quite some time, but a new generation of users is not bound to the same names.
