Maybe put them on YouTube?  Perhaps you would like to make a Minecraft let\u2019s play, a programming tutorial, or a vlog.  To edit videos you will need some video editing software.  You might have heard that you need to get Adobe\u2019s suit of software: Premier Pro for editing, and After Effects for effects.  While these are certainly some nice programs, a Creative Cloud subscription can cost you $52.99 a month.  The question is: do you really need the shell out 50 bucks every month just to make some videos.  The answer, thankfully, is heck no (unless you are doing some super advanced thing that I haven\u2019t heard of)!  I have made all of the videos in my YouTube channel without spending a single cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Video Editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many free video editors.  I personally find that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/kdenlive.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">kdenlive<\/a> suits all of my video editing needs.  Another program that I have heard good things about is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackmagicdesign.com\/products\/davinciresolve\/\" target=\"_blank\">DaVinci Resolve<\/a>.  It has both a paid and free version.  The free version should be able to handle any basic editing, but for advanced features you may need to buy the paid version (a one time purchase of $295).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Special Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blender.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blender<\/a>.  Full stop.  There is nothing I have seen that is quit like Blender.  It is a free 3d animation program that can be used for adding effects into videos.  This is a very advanced program and is not for the faint of heart.  It is so good that it manages to compete with industry leading software such as Audodesk\u2019s Maya (which can cost up to $215 per month).  Blender was even used to make the Netflix original <em>Next Gen<\/em> (which I haven\u2019t seen but the animation looks good).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless video editing is your entire career, there is no reason to pay tons of money to edit videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unless video editing is your entire career, there is no reason to pay tons of money to edit videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50,"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions\/50"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jimmyhoke.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
