Video Editing Software

[dre92]

I'm looking for a good editing software for editing my gameplay footage and I'm thinking of getting the Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum since it's 30% off on Steam right now. I'm wondering, is it a good editing software? Is it worth the money, or should I get something better like the Adobe Premiere Pro?

I don't really know why I think the Premiere is better, maybe because it's more popular, but please correct me if I'm wrong because I don't have much experience with video editing. I have used Windows Movie Maker years ago for several school projects, but umm... let's just say they weren't my best piece of work and I'm definitely not putting them into my portfolio .

 

My main specs:

i5 3570k, HD7950, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD (primary boot drive), 2TB HDD

 

Despite still having AMD GPU, I'm totally okay with softwares that have the advantage of utilizing CUDA because next year I'm planning on upgrading my GPU but still don't know whether I'll go AMD or Nvidia.

Hitfilm Express sounds like the best.

Vegas 13 will be more than enough for what you're doing.

 

You can also try Hitfilm Express. Powerful and free.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

That thought have crossed my mind once, but I'm worried that it'll just be a total waste of money since I don't know whether I'll be using them all or not.

Try Hitfilm 3 Express, it has done everything I've ever wanted it to do.

No, this is not for school project, this is simply for editing gameplay footage to be uploaded on Youtube. I'm thinking of starting my own channel next year.

oh then get CC,  its so helpful to have all thoes applications at your disposal

Movie Studio is basically a watered down version of Sony Vegas, for most gameplay edits it's more than enough. I believe it also takes better advantage of OpenCL than it does CUDA.

Alright, thanks, I'll think about it after I try out the Hitfilm since it's free.
