After researching some video editing software for my project, I decided that I will use the editing software I am most familiar with and have used for personal videos/content creation on YouTube for over a year. I researched and reviewed OpenShot Video Editor, ClipChamp, and DaVinci Resolve 17, while also looking at each one's pros and cons. In the end, I figured that my personal choice ended up being better than the other two editing softwares. Here's why:

  • No watermarks!

  • Includes stock videos/audios to use along with your videos.
