LR's editing features are robust, but nothing beats the older, bigger cousin, Photoshop. I used to use Lightroom, which can edit, accommodate plugins, and organize your files all under one roof. I don't like that model, but I started with Abobe years ago before they became a landlord and so that is where I've stayed. Adobe is in the software rental business. I'm Mac, but everything I use works also in Windows. You are on Windows and so let's talk stuff that works in Windows. You need cash to live and you also have to die. Some stay in the free forever mode, but seriously, that's just one person trying to be helpful and you can only be helpful so long. But the life cycle of software is to give it away, ask for donations, and eventually charge for it. Mostly I do free for minor tasks, when it it single purpose software.
There's free stuff out there and there's paid stuff. Good luck in sorting out and making the right decision for you.Ĭlick to expand.Since we've all be talking video editing, you did say, both, and nothing has been said of stills, as yet. In the end, you have to choose based on your platform, your needs, where you want to be in 5 years, and your budget. There will be lots of advice here for sure. Whatever you start with, you'll probably stick with and you don't want to restart the learning curve. Time is a precious commodity to waste, so a little bit of really good training jumps starts you and ends a lot of frustration trying to learn by trial and error. In that one day you get what you need, the basics. FMC has one-day classes, live and online. I also recommend committing to some inexpensive training. It's good to start out with freeware, but at some point you'll exceed its free features in what you want it to do. $299 is a nuisance fee compared to what I normally pay for software and it's a one time fee only and it's an Apple product.
In my experience, you get what you pay for, for the most part. I have been using lots of high-end software in my 20 plus years of working in digital forensics, to include video forensics.
