Struggling to choose an editing software?

You're thinking about it the wrong way.

You have tried to solve it before by watching your favorite YouTuber's videos.

Till now, you have probably watched videos like:

  • Best editing software

  • Premiere Pro vs DaVinci Resolve

  • Is Final Cut Pro better than other editing apps

But the more you watch, the more confused you become.

One person recommends Premiere Pro for its industry standards.

Another suggests DaVinci Resolve because it's more stable and free.

Someone else swears by Final Cut Pro for its one-time payment.

Then there's Capcut.

Who should you listen to?

Here’s the advice:

If you already know an editing software—stick to it. There's no need to change.

But if you don’t know which software to choose or want to switch to a different editing software — keep reading.

You've probably consumed one of my products. Maybe my video editing roadmap.

That’s enough introduction. Let’s solve the problem.

Choosing the right editing software can be confusing, right?

You've likely seen countless videos comparing Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Each one looks promising, but how do you decide which is best for you?

Here's the truth: You’ve been looking at this the wrong way.

Instead of asking what software you should choose, ask what software you can choose.

It's not about finding the "best" software out there but finding the one that works for you based on what you already have.

Here’s a simple guide:

For Good/Average Specs

  • Premiere Pro: If you can invest $10/month, go for it.

  • DaVinci Resolve: Great if you have a powerful PC/laptop but don’t want to spend money.

  • Final Cut Pro: Perfect for Apple enthusiasts who love using Apple software.

For Low-End Specs

  • Capcut: Free and lightweight, perfect for starting out.

For Mobile Users

  • Capcut Mobile: Excellent with lots of presets and effects, but banned in some countries.

  • VN Editor: Easy to use for midrange and low-end phones.

  • Kinemaster: Great for learning the basics of PC editing on mobile.

Remember: Don’t overcomplicate. Find where you fall and pick one.
