What’s everyone’s go to program for their post production on videos and photos? Anyone using free programs such as iMovie and with what success?
New to all of this and appreciate all input. Also working with a 2015 MacBook Pro 13”.
Cheers!

Hi SZAABS

My post prod favourite is Cyberlink PowerDirector 16, easy to learn, lots of features...

For what it's worth. I use Magix Pro X.

I'm a software junkie and as such am using Cyberlink Power Director 15, Vegas Platinum Movie, Vegas Pro, and Adobe Premiere Elements.

Final Cut Pro X - really good. Like iMovie's big brother.

Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Does anyone read? He said he was using a Mac. Suggesting windows apps does nothing to help him.

iMovie is a great tool to start with. If you outgrown it’s feature set then Final Cut Pro x. Both are extremely optimized for the hardware. Premiere will definitely run slower than FCP on your 2015. Davinci resolve has a free version, but a huge learning curve.

I’d start with iMovie to get your feet wet

Yes, we can all read thank you very much and I'll quote the original post: "What’s everyone’s go to program for their post production on videos and photos?".

He did mention the MacBook, however, he went on to point out it is a 2015 and only 13". I got the impression he was open to updating to something else.

By the way, Adobe Premiere Elements also comes in Mapple version.

I would disagree that none of the above responses were of "no help to him". The "likes" from the OP would attest to that.

We need to tell him about boot camp and parallels or other Virtual machine options for OSX. All my PC apps run faster in my Mac than in my dedicated PC machine.

-I recommend PhotoViewerPro. It is working very nice, without any bugs and it is really easy to use, and it's even free!

…. then you would have a pocket full of cash. So then, which video editing program would you buy? ;--)
