Can anyone recommend a good video editor?

[hawkflame 3,310]

I just started a series MLP analysis and reviews on my youtube channel.  I used the only program I had at my disposal, Windows Live Movie Maker, and the whole process seemed very sloppy and time consuming, plus I had to start over a few times because sometimes the program just stopped responding. 

 

Can anyone recommend a better editing program for me to use?

If you've got the money spare, you could go for Sony Vegas. It's quite popular and is used by a lot of top Youtubers. It's not too hard to learn either, it's much better than Movie Maker, I can assure you that.

 

Although, I'm not really sure how much it is right now. Older versions will be a lot cheaper. Sorry if this isn't much help

It might not be the most popular option but i use Sony Movie Studio and it works great for me. When I was in college we used the pro version of Vegas but I couldn't justify the cost at the time i was buying software. The nice thing is that it also comes with Sound Forge and DVD Architect at that price. Hope that helps!

iMovie is a really good tool for me, at least.

Well Adobe After Effects is one of the best video editing softwares out there so I would recommend it. There's tons of tutorials for it on youtube. There's also Sony Vegas, however I have used both and After Effects has better features imo.

When I used to make videos, I loved using Sony Vegas. Not hard to learn at all, and you can do a lot with it. I recommend getting that

I recommend Sony Vegas. It may be hard to learn, but there are a lot of Youtube tutorials. It also comes with a lot of filters and effects, but don't expect much from them
