There are plenty of editing applications out there and it’s hard to choose one. I’ve been editing with a variety of different apps for the last 15 years.
So I wanted to make this video to share the top editing apps available right now.

There is also website like Envato Elements that have a ton of video templates for Davinci and Premiere Pro, that can really level up your editing.

If you haven’t used Envato Elements, it’s basically an all-in-one creative platform and really useful for video creation.
You can get video templates for editing apps, stock videos, music, and pretty much everything else you need to level up your video.

Envato also has a really useful YouTube channel, called Tut+, where you can take entire free courses on some of the apps I mentioned like Adobe Premiere Pro and others.

All these editing applications are going to work for Windows PC or Mac computers. Some will be free and others will have a paid subscription with a free trial. I’ll link all the resources I mention in the video in the description.

Mobile editing apps are still not as powerful as desktop apps. But I do have another video breaking down the top 5 mobile editing apps.

Adobe Premiere Pro
The most popular professional editing app is Adobe Premiere Pro.
This is the application my team and I have used most of the time in the last decade.
It works seamlessly with other Adobe apps like Photoshop and Aftereffects.

And you can do everything from basic editing to advance graphic animation.
You can get Adobe Premiere Pro with a free trial and then subscribe monthly.

Davinci Resolve
Another powerful editing app is called Davinci Resolve. This app has a free version that you can use. It started as a color correction tool and later became a full-blown video editing platform.

Filmora

Filmora is a free video editing program for Mac or Windows PC.

You can download a free trial and test it out. But you will have to purchase it, to unlock all the features. Filmora also has a version for iPad and mobile, so it’s a great option for taking your editing on the go.

Adobe Premiere Rush
Adobe has another editing app for computers and mobile devices called Premiere Rush. It’s a light version of Premiere Pro and a perfect app if you plan on taking your edits between mobile and desktop.
Adobe rush makes it really simple to edit your video, add titles, work with audio, color correct and easily share online.

Shotcut
https://shotcut.org/

Shotcut is a free, open-source, cross-platform video editor.
It's available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

This one is easy to use for beginners, but you may want to graduate with more advanced applications once you finish several projects. A lot of the fundamentals of editing will still apply.

There are other apps I like such as Final Cut Pro and iMovie, but those are only available on Mac computers.

Check out the description below this video for more in-depth tutorials on each platform and choose the editing app that fits best with your workflow.
