Film Opening Project: Editing Software Options

 Editing Software Options: Which One to Choose?

    Hey everyone! I am back with another update of me and Natalia's journey though the film opening project. I realized that I had never talked much about editing, specifically on which platform we will be using. So, for this post, I wanted to walk you all through our original choices, our thought process along the way, and the final decision. 

What were we considering?

  Adobe Premiere Pro  

    The first option we were considering was Adobe Premiere Pro. We both knew that out of the three options, Adobe seemed to have the most flexibility in terms of creativity, as they offer the most variety in editing options within the platform. However, this is what causes Adobe to seem intimidating and overwhelming, considering how complex the platform is and how unexperienced the both of us are with this platform. Even though there are many tutorials online on how to use the platform, we would rather use a platform that we were both experienced in using. 

iMovie

    The second option we were considering was iMovie. The main benefit that me and Natalia would have from iMovie was how we are both experienced with the app, and we are well aware on how to use it. One issue that we have with iMovie is how there are times when the features of the iMovie platform do not support our projects. There have been times in the past where at least I have had to change editing platforms so that I could edit any videos in a way that iMovie couldn't do. So, based on our past experiences with this platform, we don't want to risk anything. 

Cap Cut

    The third option (the winner!) we were considering and will now be using is Cap Cut. Like iMovie, Cap Cut is also an editing platform that both me and Natalia have experience in based on past projects. In terms of the variety in features within the platform, Cap Cut would be in between Adobe Premiere Pro and iMovie. Cap Cut has a good amount of features for editing, but it does not reach to an overwhelming amount. Me and Natalia also have not had any major issues with Cap Cut, so it also feels like the safest options. 

    This research on our editing software options has ensured us that we will be taking the least number of risks during the post productions process while helping us create a quality film opening project. Anyways, stay tuned for my next update on our journey with the film opening project!
