Whether you want to start a YouTube channel and earn money through content creation, or you’re learning how to create videos for your business, there’s a lot to learn. Even after you get the shooting aspect down, you need to learn how to edit video.

There are plenty of video editing software options available. However, this can be another challenge when you’re just starting out. Which one do you choose? If you’re a total beginner, it may be best to stick to free options before committing to an expensive package.

DaVinci Resolve is a free software option with incredibly powerful capabilities. Lots of industry professionals opt for this software, particularly for colour grading purposes. Whilst there are lots of tutorials on using DaVinci, it is a pretty steep learning curve.

If you’re a Mac user, iMovie is a great option that won’t cost you anything, whilst keeping things simple and straightforward. With this software, you’re able to cut and edit video together, add and edit audio, as well as play with basic effects like time-lapse or slow motion, and the Ken Burns effect. Unfortunately, iMovie is only available on Apple products, so this list won’t apply if you use Windows or other.

We’ve found some of the best iMovie tutorials on YouTube that you can watch to develop your video editing skills! You can also learn how to edit video in iMovie on your phone, making creating content for TikTok or Instagram on the go even easier.
