Can anyone recommend video editing software for making tutorials?

I wanted to try to make a tutorial and I was curious if anyone had specific software they recommended for adding voice overs and editing.

Adobe Premiere. A one month subscription for the one program is $20 IIRC.
(You can also get all Adobe software for $50/month/person, which is cheap for work but expensive for hobby and families)

I second premier. I’ve used FCP, AVID for years but premier has become a darn good editor.

wow, thanks for the quick responses. I’ll definitely check it out.

I thought most people use Techsmith Camtasia to capture video, and it also offers editing capabilities.

It’s more than Premiere but you keep what you pay for…

Techsmith Camtasia has a reasonable price and an editor which is not as fancy as Premiere or After , but do the job right

7

camstudio for recording, you can get a decent quality recording by messing with settings
good ol ms moviemaker to edit

cost $0

8

Shadows Play & Action , really good pperformence with Nvidia Cuda Core

+1 for Camtasia

I use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) it is free, highly customizable, can record live streams or directly to a flv/mp4 file, you can overlay video on video, record from multiple sources at the same time, records in HD up to 60fps, and records video through the GPU (just like shadowplay) so you get really high FPS while recording (I see a 2-5fps drop in UE4 compared to 20-30fps drop with FRAPS).

I highly recommend it, amazing little program. :slight_smile:

For some of the videos in the official documents, I use the screen capture tool that the Nvidia Geforce Experience offers as the videos have a good mix between compression and quality. Then to edit them I use Photoshop CS6 Extended as it is super easy to use if you even a little fimilar with photoshop.

I am using Capcut software. It’s very customisable, free, and can record live streams or straight to a flv or mp4 file. It can also record in HD up to 60 frames per second, record from multiple sources at once, and record video through the GPU (just like shadowplay) to achieve really high frames per second while recording (I notice a 2–5 fps drop in UE4 compared to a 20–30 fps drop with FRAPS).
You can edit your recording and videos as you want.
Amazing little programme, I heartily suggest it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Dont Edit. Live Streaming is the new way to do them. But if you have to edit, consider GenAI Video Editing Tools.
