• DaVinci Resolve is a really amazing video color correction and grading and it's considered as an industry standard for many colorists. Now, you have 3 alternatives to After Effects, Audition, and Premiere Pro in a single app. You can buy the Studio version from Blackmagic's website or Mac App Store if you own a Mac. p.s.: Screw you, Adobe.

• Professional class software, with everything you can dream of... For free ! ph.comptes • Sep 2019 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• the fusion can get really annoying when trying to edit with unreasonable load times switching menus Guest • Dec 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Goes steps further than Premiere by combining editing, node-based compositing with particle FX and audio mix/mastering. It's cross-platform and free for up to 4k video. Ugotsta • Feb 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Allows edit videos up to 4K/96fps in the free version, have advance color correction and multi-screen support and isn't have watermarks. Much better than Premiere Pro, but free. Guest • Jan 2017 • 17 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Da Vinci is just too big (fat). Takes forever to load on a slow machine, but I've never had a problem loading Premiere Pro. Also I don't like the weird method for exporting video: click export, then click the rocket ship then click add to render queue then click export. That's way too many steps. Premiere just has one button to export. Guest • Oct 2019 • 2 agrees and 13 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It pretty much has the all adobe video suit. Ae . pr , etc... also fusion is great ! Guest • Feb 2019 Disagree   Agree

Shotcut

Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform, non-linear video editor. Supports hundreds of audio and video formats and codecs thanks to FFmpeg. No import required...

• Of all the free Premiere alternatives I've tried, this is the easiest one to work with and it seems very reliable. lau22 • Feb 2019 • 8 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• The most compatible with all formats and stable on Windows of all Video editors I've tested. It's a pitty that when I'm writing this comment Shotcut does not have keyframe functionality and that effects such as Ken Burns' cannot be created. When in future releases "hopefully" this ability will be incrporated it will be the best free editor I know. Raelitis • Dec 2017 • 5 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Its design language and features are all I need from a video editor, it's also Open Source so you can make derivative versions on your own, if you know how. Guest • Mar 2017 • 6 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It's supposedly a "non-linear multitrack" editor, but you can't even select multiple clips at once on the timeline. A real pain. Guest • Mar 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It is a free software, it doesn't crash every time like other free softwares mahdimeskin • Feb 2018 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• The only free software that don't crash anytime, and got multiple features (autosave is magic on this one). Supports a lot of video formats. There is not much effects, and the ones here are not amazing, but it's already more than I need. Guest • Sep 2016 • 12 agrees and 7 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Simple and good, but needs keyframes maybe. Guest • Feb 2017 • 7 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• They are both very high quality, but this one manages to crash even more often! It managed to crash literally 13 seconds into using it! Very stable! Bildawl • Apr 2017 • 0 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• I haven't used Premiere Pro, but I have used Lightworks a couple times. It is not very user friendly and is a pain to work with. Hence why I am browsing this page for alternatives. Guest • Jul 2020 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• The interface is the worst part. They lack the drag and drop functionality of Adobe Premiere Pro. I'm not a serious video editor, but I was able to pick up Premiere pretty quick. Lightworks looks like it would have taken a few weeks to learn. Ain't nobody got time for that. Guest • Oct 2019 • 6 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• the interface is a nightmare to work with - almost nothing, not anywhere close to premiere pro. Guest • Oct 2019 • 4 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• While you have to go to the forums to download user effects (which really helps by the way), this is quite an underrated editor and it can get the job done. I do agree it does have an unconventional layout that has a pretty steep learning curve, though. Guest • Mar 2020 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• doesn't have all the "pro" functionalities of Adobe PP, but for beginner to mid-level video editing, LW does the trick. Plus it's FREE (unless you buy its Pro version)! Guest • Sep 2018 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• good functionality, practical approach but free version only supports 720p Guest • Jul 2016 • 10 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• no low-price software can reach the functionality of AdobePP, but Lightworks is really easy to use, and it has all functions a normal user need. Top! Guest • Jan 2017 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• it's verry basic compared to premire Guest • Feb 2019 • 13 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Not easy to use and some of the controls are just weird/confusing. Guest • Oct 2019 • 6 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• With OpenShot it's impossible change even font's size and the font itself. Have to use another software for this, Inkscape in this case?!. Are you kidding me? I can not understand how snap works, well, always if it works. Its interface looks so "childish". And it lags when preview. No "paragon" with Adobe Pr. Trying it was just waste of time. V 2.5.1 @Win10 @i7-8850H with 16GB Ram. Guest • Apr 2020 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• This is a little too basic, buggy, unstable, and has lots of visual glitches pizzalovingnerd • Oct 2018 • 7 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It's a very basic software and there are often bugs related to tracks, like audio or video that won't go in the target track. However it can be an useful alternative to movie maker, but not premiere pro, in any way. Guest • Oct 2017 • 5 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Way too basic. Way too many bugs. You need third-party programs for some features. someonelast • Jun 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• considerably inferior in functionality cdcsdces • May 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• Premiere is an NLE, non-linear editor, it has a multitrack timeline in which multiple clips from various sources can be cut together. Avidemux does not have a multi-track timeline and can only set basic in/out cut points and join clips together in a strictly linear fashion; it is a linear editor at best.
