The Four Levels of Video Editing Software
by Lance Carr
The video editing software marketplace today has settled into what appears to be a 4 leveled arrangement derived from both price and features. Everyone's decision on a choice of video editing software ought to at least include an understanding of every layer and what it provides. Often the software maker will make an effort to tell you what you want but if you understand your own needs you can base your preference on those.
By appreciating the actual target market of the software you are checking out, you can keep any video editing software reviews you come across in perspective. Also make sure the individual writing the review is taking this into consideration. Regularly home user video editing software gets a inferior score from pro editors reviewing the software. Most times this is because the software is unable to do what it was in no way intended to do.
Earlier, video editing software roughly fell into two divisions. Either they were home user level video editors or they were professional video editing programs. At one end we had products like Ulead VideoStudio and at the other end products such Avid for wholly professional use.
As the field developed this changed into three classes with several of the video editing software makers introducing advanced consumer video editing software products. These software products were dubbed "prosumer" because they fell in between the consumer level and the fully professional level. Sony Vegas Pro and Ulead MediaStudio are examples of this category of program.
Presently the marketplace has evolved once more with an even bigger choice of video editing software on offer to suit all requirements. A new class of incredibly easy to use basic movie making software has just been introduced and for many people these new products might be exactly what they were looking for.
Examples of such recent products are Magix Video Easy and Corel Digital Studio. Each of these products present rather straightforward video editing, image editing and audio production. They are wizard based programs meaning that you go along with straightforward instructions regarding the way in which you desire your production to appear. To finish they make use of more straightforward steps and wizards to steer you painlessly to the final production whether it be to DVD, Blu-ray or directly uploading to YouTube.
Such software suites are perfect for the individual who is not technically minded or just not that interested in the production phase. It is purely a matter of pointing and clicking as you are guided all the way through the process.
Next we find the recognized consumer level video editing software such as CyberLink PowerDirector or Magix Movie Edit Pro. These programs have improved greatly ever since they were initially introduced into the consumer video editing field. Currently they are inclined to seem more like the prosumer software of the past.
Here there is a greater amount of control given to the user and each stage of the video creation route can be customized extremely specifically to the editor's requirements. There are countless special effects available and the audio, titling and output choices become wider.
