What does everyone use to edit their videos? I have a couple "meme-worthy" videos I'd like to upload, but I'm not sure how to crop them and put a watermark in them. I'd prefer a free and easy to use software, but if that's not possible, I'll side towards easy to use over free

Also any tips on managing youtube clips are welcomed. I'm new to this. I've signed up with adwords, but not sure what else I need to do prior / after uploading.

Jokes aside,

Paid option - Sony Vegas.
Free option - HitFilm 4 Express is completely free comes with a lot of features. If you want extra ones all you have to do is buy addons.

Given It's a general video discussion, It's perfectly fine In this forum.

Thanks for the info. I used hitfilm before but I found the UI a bit difficult to work with. Maybe I should actually watch some tutorials before giving up on it lol.

adobe premiere is the best video editing software so far.

Why is that?

I'd say Premiere or Final cut. Although they are paid options.

Pinnacle Studio, Is also worth looking Into.

I haven't personally used It, but have read some rather positive reviews.

I used adobe after effects when i was into editing cod. I loved it

I prefer after effects over sony vegas for sure
