Which software is the best?

Which software should you learn before you enter the world of professional video editing? That’s the question we’re going to be seeking the answer to in this episode of The Video Editing Podcast from Unsplice.

Each NLE (Non-Linear Video Editor) has its pros and cons, and so you’ll find different pockets of the industry prefer different software. In this episode you’ll learn what software is used where, the pros and cons of each, and which software you should invest your time (and money) learning.

If you’ve ever tried to use Premiere or any other NLE and had it crash in the middle of something important, you’ll know how frustrating it is. Sure, you may have lost maybe 10 mins work as you pick up from the last autosave, but you’ve also lost your flow. As you scroll though Instagram waiting for the software to reload, you’re flow may not come back that day. If you’re interested in learning the kind of professional asset management that large studios use to prevent Premiere and other NLEs from crashing, head to https://superpeer.com/unsplice/event/how-to-use-premiere-without-it-crashing

In just 2 hours you’ll learn how to convert every asset to a ‘working format’ for smooth and efficient editing – a life skill that will save you time and keep you in that super valuable flow-state. The live session happens on September 24th with a Q&A session afterwards.
