What is the best video creating and editing software?
f you ask for the best video for editing and making videos, after years of use of professional video programs (Premiere for first), I moved to Da Vinci resolve 16. It is free, extremely useful, and you can produce very high-quality videos. The biggest investment you should put in your budget is 20$ to buy the very well done and clear ebooks for using it. It is easy to use and has an incredible quantity of features, from multiple timelines to a perfect colour correction, as well as up to 32 tracks for Audio live or dubbing. If you want to make videos, this software changes the game.
The free version is available without limitations while there is a studio version with a very few more features, mostly useful for digital film making (I mean, cinema). That is not our case, I suppose.
On this product – to which most of the videomakers are moving during the last two years – you can also invest less then 1000K$ in some hardware to improve the performances but it is not essential if you are short of budget.
Instead, if for you "better" is a synonym of easier, crap, minimal, with automatic "social" effect, any other stuff free, open-source or just part of the OS like Movie Maker (Windows) or iMovie (Mac) are for you.

BTW my last videos in 2020 are a good example of my personal learning curve using Da Vinci Resolve. A large series of examples of you can get can be found here: https://www.pond5.com/artist/alicemirror
Indeed, if you prefer a little bit bigger investment, you can also by the full console for just 30.000$
But, jokes apart, what left me speechless, is that the software you can get for free is the same. And, just in case, the studio commercial license of this beast costs only 250$. If you consider that the user policy of (few comparable) software like the Adobe Premiere, no matter for what purpose you use it, is on a monthly fee so that in one year you buy at least two licenses.
Check with your local BMD retailer e.g.

It was announced and demonstrated at the DaVinci Resolve 17 launch webinar.
