• 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 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• 1. it's free - Lifetime. 2. Great tool for colour correction. Guest • Sep 2018 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 • 15 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• 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 • 3 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It is a free software, it doesn't crash every time like other free softwares mahdimeskin • Feb 2018 • 1 agrees and 1 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 • 3 agrees and 3 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 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 6 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Simple and good, but needs keyframes maybe. Guest • Feb 2017 • 6 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 • 2 agrees and 1 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

• It's a basic editor, not like Adobe Premiere Pro, but good nonetheless. Guest • Dec 2016 • 24 agrees and 12 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

• the interface is a nightmare to work with - almost nothing, not anywhere close to premiere pro. Guest • 13 days ago 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 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 • 0 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
