YouTube&#8217;s video editor has features like typewriter text effects, bounce and slide animations, matching Like, Subscribe, Comment, and gif icons, channel art, and banners. You can also add music to your videos using the built-in audio player. But there&#8217;s a catch. The app doesn&#8217;t come free.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OpenShot\"><\/span>OpenShot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never tried a video editor before, you should. It&#8217;s free and it has all of the features you&#8217;ll need to make professional-quality videos. OpenShot supports many of the most popular video codecs, including H.264, HEVC, MPEG4, AVCHD, MP3, and AAC. You can also export and import EDL and XML files. The interface is easy to use, and you can even create a video if you have no previous experience. Moreover, you can adjust your interface according to your own personal preference, hiding windows you rarely use.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure of how to start editing your video, OpenShot offers some helpful tutorials and tips. After setting up your profile, you can start editing your video. You can import media from YouTube, drag and drop it into the timeline, and adjust the settings accordingly. You can also add new clips to the timeline, and add more layers if you like. OpenShot allows you to overlay multiple videos and adjust the speed of the video files. It supports keyframe animation, and you can adjust the volume and frequency of audio and video clips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iMovie\"><\/span>iMovie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a simple way to edit your YouTube videos, iMovie is a good choice. It offers an intuitive interface and allows you to edit two video clips at a time. However, it can also be used to create complex edits, add advanced transitions, and more. While iMovie is a great starting point for amateur video editors, advanced users will want to upgrade to a more powerful video editor.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Mac user, iMovie is a free video editing tool. It&#8217;s available for Mac users and is preloaded on all Apple devices. It&#8217;s not a professional tool, but it&#8217;s easy to use, and it has premade templates that make editing a snap. It also has features such as picture-in-screen mode and split-screen functions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premiere_Elements\"><\/span>Premiere Elements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a free video editing software, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Adobe Premiere Elements is a stripped-down version of Premiere Pro, but it still offers a ton of features for basic video editing. The program has features like enhanced face detection, keyframe editing, and haze removal, and it&#8217;s great for beginners. But it&#8217;s not perfect, and it doesn&#8217;t work well with 360-degree video or multi-cam editing.<\/p>\n<p>The first drawback of Premiere Elements is that it doesn&#8217;t have as many features as its pro-level counterpart. Advanced features such as multicam editing and screen recording are not available. However, its slimmer offerings make it easier for beginners to use. It&#8217;s also very slow, and the speed of rendering is much slower than other similar programs. But if you want to make your own YouTube videos, you can try Premiere Elements for free.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PowerDirector_365\"><\/span>PowerDirector 365<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not yet convinced by the benefits of YouTube&#8217;s new video editing software, you can take a look at PowerDirector 365. This tool is loaded with advanced features like multi-cam editing, keyframing, animated titles, motion tracking, and 360-degree editing. It also comes with a library of backgrounds and royalty-free stock photos, along with noise reduction and wind removal tools.<\/p>\n<p>Filmora is an excellent option for users who want to create professional-looking videos. It&#8217;s easy to use and offers many powerful tools for video editing. It also comes with features for screen capture, mobile editing, and a variety of audio effects. It&#8217;s free and comes with a watermark, but it&#8217;s worth a try if you&#8217;re creating tutorial videos for your YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VSDC_Video_Editor\"><\/span>VSDC Video Editor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>VSDC is one of the most popular video editing applications on YouTube. Its powerful feature set allows you to import videos in any format. You can even capture external videos through HDMI. You can record 2D and 3D games in high quality. The editing program has an intuitive interface and a wealth of customization options. You can even upload your finished video to YouTube with just a few clicks. However, before you can upload your finished video to YouTube, you must first import the video into VSDC.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an iPhone, you will probably want to import it into VSDC Video Editor. You can do this by choosing the &#8216;Integrate video&#8217; option on the Import Content screen. After selecting the file, drag it to the timeline and click on &#8220;Add To Project&#8221;. This action will automatically import your video and apply any transitions you need. After you&#8217;ve imported the video, you can now add it to the timeline and main track.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lightworks\"><\/span>Lightworks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a beginner and don&#8217;t know how to use a video editing program, try YouTube&#8217;s own video editor. It is user-friendly and even has drag-and-drop functionality to make video editing as simple as possible. Most YouTube videos are either vlogs, how-tos, tutorials, music videos, reaction videos, or gameplay videos. The software supports audio and video, and it is free to download.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube video editing software Lightworks lets you create your videos using simple drag-and-drop tools. You can trim video clips, change levels, and overlay simple text effects. You can import footage in the background, as well as use animated text effects. Lightworks pairs with Pond5 to provide access to stock media. This is an excellent tool for beginners and intermediate users alike. The free editor is available for Windows and Mac.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/84uLZ2pPebI\" height=\"296\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"530\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does YouTube Have a Free Video Editor?
