The program that changed everything, HitFilm 3 Express is arguably the best freeware non-linear video editor on the market. It is actually much more than just a video editor. Apart from basic and advanced video editing, it can also be used for color grading, motion graphics, 2D and 3D compositing, and even for adding all sorts of high quality special effects to your footage.

The free version of the software includes tons of features (full video editing support, over 100 built-in effects, motion tracking, green screen removal, etc.), whereas additional functionality (such as support for a broader range of video formats, additional effects and transitions, etc.) can be added via in-app purchases which are priced at $9.99 an up (with an additional 15% during the ongoing January sale). Still, the truth is that the basic free version of the program does not feel crippled in any way. You can use it to create fantastic videos right out of the box.
Another marvelous piece of free video editing software, the basic version of DaVinci Resolve 12 was made available for free download in September last year. Blackmagic Design, the company behind DaVinci Resolve, is offering three differently priced versions of the software. The basic version is free to download and use, the Studio version is priced at $995, whereas the most advanced version (which actually includes a hardware video editing panel) would cost you a whooping $29,995.
Now, a free version of a high end piece of software such as DaVinci Resolve would, in most cases, be severely limited feature-wise when compared to the full product. However, in this particular case, the free version covers all of the features that a regular video editing software user would need, and then some. It includes most of the features from the Studio version, including high quality video export in resolutions up to UltraHD.
Compared to something like HitFilm 3 Express, DaVinci Resolve is inferior as an all-in-one tool for animation and video editing. But if video editing and color grading is all you need, then this excellent piece of software will provide an insane amount of firepower completely free of charge. A slightly negative point that we noticed while testing the application, though, is that it takes quite a while for it to open (the startup took up to one minute on our test machine, which is quite a bummer).
ivsEdits LE is a free video editing software, that features the some good professional editing tools. It provides an exceptionally powerful 4K/2K/HD/SD editing solution for any post/live production environment. The software comes with quite a lot of professional video editing tools and available for Windows.
PowerDirector Ultra is a flexible video editing software solution, offering a unique combination of high-end performance and advanced video editing features. It comes with huge selection of customizable design tools, including unique alpha transitions, animated titles, particles and PiP objects, give you the freedom to explore your creativity and reflect it in your video creations.
You have not mentioned how much RAM and which OS does these Video Editing Software supports, I am having Windows XP with 2GB RAM with 4 GB Hard disk as free space. Mentioning the minimum hardware requirement for such video editing software is a must. So kindly update us.
The following is a list of free video editing software apps for desktop computers. Desktop applications typically have more editing power than mobile apps. You can use these video editors to produce longer-form content for YouTube or your website.
If you just want to trim and upload your videos, the rich feature set of DaVinci Resolve may be too extensive. However, if your video project is a little more advanced, the free version of this software is hard to beat.
HitFilm Express is one of the best free 360 video editing software for Mac and PC users. It contains all the features you would expect from a basic editor: splicing, trimming, audio editing, and many more.
This online video editing tool is great for marketers, publishers, and agencies alike. Users praise InVideo for its amazing customer service, UX, and value for money. With support for intelligent frames, automated voice-overs, and much more, this desktop-compatible software is best in class for many different reasons.
One of the best free 360 video editing software only Available for Windows is VSDC. Its free version has a powerful set of features, including color correction and audio editing. Color blending lets you modify the look of the video to suit your brand image. Additionally, VSDC allows you to create varying shaped masks for blurring, hiding, or featuring specific elements in your footage.
These apps are for people who like to capture and share videos from their smartphones and edit videos on the go. While there are many great video editing apps out there, this list covers some of the best, most intuitive, and free-to-use video software for mobile devices.
One of the best free Android and iOS video editors, Vizmato makes it easy to create awesome videos and slideshows. The app allows you to clip, trim, and edit videos while also offering HD recording with instant video effects, themes, and filters applied. Built-in speed control allows you to speed up or slow down the effects on your footage. You can also add stickers and text to your video and insert custom background music while editing.
Use the free video editing software in this list to start creating stunning videos today. Boost your ROI and maximize your ad spend by creating product videos and ads that present your brand in a visually appealing way.
Davinci Resolve is a top-end professional video editing program that, while not the easiest to use, has a full-capability free version, making it appealing to amateurs as well as pros. The node-based editing workflow offers the ultimate in effects control, and the software is replete with keyframing, color grading, and audio tools. It renders video projects with category-leading speed (as long as you select hardware GPU encoding), and the company also makes cameras, consoles, and other hardware that tie in smoothly with the software.
Pinnacle is a solid and longtime player in the video editing field. It packs a healthy helping of near-pro-level capabilities into a fairly intuitive interface. Pinnacle has mask motion tracking, titling, and great audio tools, among other features. For speed, this snappy video editing software is among the best. You don't need to pay a subscription, either, though it's not the lowest-priced option.
Clipchamp is a template-based PWA (progressive web application) that makes it easy for small businesses to produce videos for marketing. By the way, it also lets anyone else create simple videos with transitions and background music. The software is free, with paid upgrades for more templates and content.
Clipchamp squarely targets the nonprofessional, so if you need advanced video tools, look elsewhere. On the plus side, it's free, and it will be included with Windows 11 in an upcoming version. That said, Mac and mobile users get their own versions of the software, so it's cross-platform.
One capability that has arrived in consumer-level video editing software is color grading. Color wheels, curves, and histograms give editors control over the intensity of every shade. Related to this is support for LUTs (lookup tables), also known as CLUTs (color lookup tables). This staple of pro-level software lets you quickly change the look of a video to give it a specific mood. For example, think of the dark blue look of thriller movies like The Revenant. You can download LUTs for free from several sites or use those included with video software to give your video a specific look. One well-known LUT type is the kind that can make a daytime scene look like it was shot at night, known in movie-making as day for night(Opens in a new window).
There are other free apps that didn't make our list of the best, though they are still quite good. If you use a Mac, the excellent iMovie comes with it. For PC users, Windows' Photos app lets you join, trim, and even add background music, 3D animated effects, and titles to video. (The app is the same on Windows 10 and Windows 11.) Microsoft now includes a new app called Clipchamp to Windows 11's set of included apps. It's a Progressive Web App with a multitrack timeline and is most suited to social media marketing.
There are also some free video apps on the Microsoft Store, Windows' app store. These include Animotica, Movie Maker, and Video Editor Studio. Some of them are quite basic, but most include with clip joining, transitions, and effects, in a very touch-friendly interface. One free video editing app that's not in the app store has recently come to my attention: MiniTool MovieMaker(Opens in a new window). I have not yet tested it, but it looks promising. I prefer apps that come from the Microsoft Store, since I know they've been vetted for security and function, they run in sandboxes that can't mess with your system software, and they're easy to install and update.
Free video editing software often comes with legal and technical limitations, however. Some widely used codecs require licensing fees on the part of the software maker, meaning they can't offer free software that can handle these standard file formats. That said, the impressive open-source Shotcut(Opens in a new window) does a lot of the same things that the paid applications in this roundup do, including things like chroma-keying and picture-in-picture. Shotcut is completely open-source and free, as is Kdenlive. Lightworks is also free but has paid options that remove a 720p output resolution limit. Note also that Shotcut, Lightworks, and Kdenlive all run on Linux as well as Windows and Mac.
Though macOS users don't have the sheer number of software choices available for PCs, Apple fans interested in editing video are well served. At the entry level, the surprisingly capable and enjoyable-to-use iMovie comes free with every Mac sold since at least 2011. iMovie only offers two video tracks, but does a good job with chroma-keying, and its Trailers feature makes easy work of producing slick, Hollywood-style productions.
