After I made my previous titular post related to my YouTube channel of fan's videos right before this, entitled "Potato" video quality in my old fan videos, so it's time for me to reveal what kind of video editors that I ever used for my YouTube channel of electric fans (plus my other YouTube channel that I have too for extras like toys and some extra stuffs). I know if I edited most of my videos using different video editors (yet they're so simple), either from both my laptop or even my smartphone to edit them anyway. Without further ado, let me explain about each of the video editing programs or apps that I ever used for my YouTube channel of fans.
Before I explain them... NO! I'm not gonna explain about Adobe Premiere Pro that I used to edit videos in certain devices like what I did to some computers in my apprenticeship place in 2019, and my "old" 13" Dell Latitude laptop that has it's own LCD screen died in last year. Which means, this particular video editor didn't count for this, so... Without further ado, here are lists of video editing programs or apps that I ever used in both my laptop and my smartphone, right away.
I'll obviously split into two categories for this, the ones for my laptop(s) and the other ones for my smartphone(s).
A. Laptop(s)_💻
1. Windows Movie Maker
Although I never used this video editor for this particular purpose due to this was existed in my very first laptop (Acer) with Windows XP installed on it in around 2009 (before it got upgraded into Windows 7 in 2010), I actually used this for fun purposes, yet I never exported any of my random pictures and videos that I had at those good old times... Moreover, even though I also enjoying electric fans somewhere in 2008-2009, it didn't even enjoyable as much as what I'm enjoying them nowadays.
2. VideoPad Video Editor
Just like original Movie Maker, I never used this video editor for this particular purpose due to this was existed in my very first laptop too, but also existed in my old Samsung laptop as well... Except for one archive fan video that I recorded from 2014 that I edited using this particular video editor that I did in 2015, yet I edited using my cheap Samsung laptop. There's nothing else that I could say to this particular video editor, since it's latest version of it seems to be complicated compared to my favorite version of this particular video editor (which was version 2.2, if I guessed it right), because the latest version of this editor doesn't seem user friendly to me, despite how simple this video editor is.
3. VSDC
One example of a program that pushed my old Samsung laptop's performance to its limits, which was this video editor that I installed on it. It is like cheaper alternative of Final Cut Pro for Mac, except it seems to be user friendly to me, yet the way how it poorly performed on my aforementioned old laptop with it's own puny specifications that it had... I edited few of my fan videos using this video editor, and it was absolute nightmare. Even I ever made bunch of slideshow videos using it, but still performed horribly, yet it was prone to crash quite easily. Because of all of those problems that affected between this video editor and my aforementioned puny laptop that I had at those times, I would never edit any of my own videos using this video editor on it anymore, even I forced to do so for certain reasons.
4. Stock free Windows 10's video editor
After I retired my old puny Samsung laptop due to it's own screen troubled, so I obviously decided to replace it with my brand new one that I'm currently using it right now. Since my current laptop has it's own latest version of Windows 10 installed, it does come with a stock free video editor that bundled with it too. I put any of my pictures and video clips on it, and it works decently as it should for how simple it is, yet it reminds me to the original Windows Movie Maker, but with some enhancements that may (or may not) include in most of my pictures and videos that I edit on it every time. Albeit it works decently (yet since this is only the working video editor that is currently available in my current laptop that I'm using right now), it does have it's own disadvantages, such as no transition and PIP (picture-in-picture) features between pictures and videos in the storyboard line, sometimes it stopped processing while it's exporting (especially for longer videos [I experienced that just once]), and it only exports edited videos with 1080p video quality (but it's fine to me).
B. Smartphone(s)_📱
For video editor apps that I ever installed in 2 of my smartphones, not much detailed information that I could sum up on each of the apps that are (or were) available or installed, unlike the ones that are (or were) installed in my laptop(s) just before. BTW, here are quick lists of video editor apps that are (or were) available or installed in 2 of my smartphones:
- Stock video editor, known as Studio Film (Available in Android 4.x): Used for bunch of my old fan videos in 2015 that I edited them with lowest video quality. It wouldn't been that bad if I edited them and exported in 1080p video quality from back then.
- Kinemaster: Again, this video editor also used to edit bunch of my old fan videos in 2015-2016, judging by the obvious Kinemaster watermark that it had, yet I exported all of my videos with 360p video quality, instead of 720p or higher (if I guessed it right).
- Cheap "Video editor" app: Used in few of my fan videos that I uploaded in December of 2019. I also edited a local new year's eve 2020 using it too by shortened it's duration into a minute only in order to post it in my "personal" Instagram account.
- YouCut and it's twin, Video Maker (InShot Inc.): I use either former or latter recently for editing fan videos since last year until today (if I needed either former or the latter, due to I recently use Windows 10's stock free video editor instead).
- Wondershare Filmora (💻): I was once attempted to install this video editor on my old puny Samsung laptop. Because my aforementioned puny laptop did have it's own poor specification compared to my current one, it did refused to install it right off the bat.
- Shotcut (💻): I was once attempted to try editing some of my video clip footages it on my current laptop that I'm using it right now, because it's basically just one of those Adobe Premiere Pro's alternatives. Since it turned out looked seemingly complicated, I decided to uninstall it yet I have to stick it with stock Windows 10 video editor that is available for free since I got this laptop.
- VideoPad Video Editor for Android devices (📱): I didn't edit any of my own videos using this particular video editor app on any of my Android devices at all, due to the whole UI of the particular video editor itself looks nearly unusable compared to the PC version that I know. For example, the timeline pane of this video editor looks way too narrow compared to it's PC version, due to the size of my current smartphone's screen that it has (18:9). So yeah, I never install this app anymore due to the screwed up UI that it has.
- VivaVideo (📱): It's basically one of alternatives from certain video editing apps for Android devices like Kinemaster, YouCut or it's own twin by InShot Inc.. I only edited one of my fan videos in 2016 using it, then I never come back to edit more of my own videos using it anymore. Since it also had it's own watermark like Kinemaster, that was also the reason about why I uninstalled it for good.
