Best Mac Computer For Video Editor

Apple computers have long been aimed at the creative professional, particularly when it comes to photo and video editing. Unfortunately, industry-leading packages like Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Apple’s own Final Cut Pro aren’t cheap.

Here are 15 best video editing software in 2018: 15 Best Video Editing Software 2018 Because there are so many good options out there, to make it easier for you, in this article, we have divided the video editing software into several categories.

Video Editing on a PC vs MAC. Which will come out on top? PC vs MAC for Video Editing. Best Video Editing Software and Video Editing Tips - Duration.
Here, best iMac for video Editing 2018 for photographers and video editors, choosing a laptop or computer has never been easier.As an occupational, you are a photography video editor then the laptop is not a convenient tool.

Fortunately, there’s a selection of capable free video editing apps for Mac to sink your teeth into. Some are made for beginners, while others will satisfy seasoned video editors with their impressive feature sets.

These are our favorite free video editors for Mac.

1. iMovie

Summary: A free, consumer-grade video editor. It’s well-optimized for Apple hardware and suitable for most personal projects.

iMovie is free for anyone who owns a Mac. Plus, the iOS version is free to all iPhone and iPad owners. The software is aimed at consumers who want to quickly create videos with footage stored in their Photos library. To facilitate this, iMovie uses a simplified timeline editor that doesn’t allow for multitrack editing.

Despite the linear editing and basic UI, iMovie is a highly optimized piece of software that can handle 4K video and green screen compositing. It also supports picture-in-picture video and slow-motion/fast-forward visual effects. iMovie can generate titles, drag-and-drop transitions, and motion graphics like 3D globes and travel maps.

The app comes with built-in music and sound effects that are ready to go. It can generate Hollywood-style trailers using footage that you supply. Additionally, the app allows you to export directly to YouTube and Vimeo at up to 4K resolution.

2. DaVinci Resolve

Summary: A powerful, professional-grade video editor that lacks the color grading tools the developers are famous for.

The Studio version of DaVinci Resolve costs nearly $1,000, but the basic version is completely free. Better still, it includes the same high-quality image processing abilities as the pricier version. You get a powerful video editor, some of the best color correction capabilities around, and even support for external hardware panels to enable faster editing.

There are limitations, of course. The main one is that Resolve can only output in SD, HD and Ultra HD, which is likely more than enough for most users. Also, the app places limits on some of the advanced grading and tracking tools. However, these restrictions are mainly in place to convince professional users to upgrade.

The app might have quite a learning curve, but DaVinci Resolve is one of the most powerful video editing suites on the planet and you get a lot for free.

3. OpenShot

Summary: A free and open source video editor with an impressive list of features. However, the interface is outdated and may put some users off.

OpenShot is a cross-platform open source tool that’s been around since 2008. It’s built with the aim of providing a stable, free, and accessible video editor. The project receives several major updates per year, in line with the expectations for an open source project with a small team.

OpenShot’s feature list has grown over the years to include great support for a variety of formats, keyframes for animation, and unlimited video/audio tracks. It also packs in transition and compositing support, titles, and a heap of extra features you’d expect from a modern video editor.

Past criticisms have panned OpenShot’s reliability, but it’s still worth a shot for free.

4. Shotcut

Summary: A capable open source editor with an interface that’s superior to OpenShot.

Here’s another free, open source, cross-platform video editor. Shotcut’s feature list is just as impressive as OpenShot, but Shotcut features a great-looking interface. It more closely resembles a pro-tier application than a free one.

The app supports a wide range of video files and formats, including 4K, ProRes, and DNxHD. Shotcut also includes great support for working with audio, an impressive list of video effects (including compositing and transitions), and a flexible UI.

Of note are support for advanced features like 5.1 surround sound, three-way color correction, and a huge number of video and audio filters. There’s even a full set of official Shotcut video tutorials you can watch to get you up to speed with the editor.

5. Blender

Summary: Not a purpose-built video editor, but it’s a powerful tool for free.

Blender is a free 3D modeling and compositing app used in some high-profile productions. Yet many don’t realize Blender is also a capable non-linear video editor, provided you’re willing to take the time to learn.

You can use Blender to cut and splice video, mix and sync audio, or apply adjustment layers, transitions, and filters. You probably won’t edit a whole film together in Blender, but for basic editing tasks it might suffice.

Blender isn’t the easiest system to learn, but underneath the hood is a powerful non-linear video editor. Check out Daniel Pocock’s quick guide to editing video in Blender and the official Blender video sequencer manual to learn more.

6. Lightworks

Summary: A powerful editor with plenty of features, but some seriously restrictive output options make the free version feel more like a trial.

Lightworks is one of the most powerful apps on this list. I’d happily recommend it above all other packages if it wasn’t so restrictive for the free user. The free version includes video effects, multicam editing, and titling, as well as the usual multi-layered timeline approach you’d expect from a comprehensive editor.

Unfortunately, rendering (exporting your project) is limited to 1080p output on Vimeo, and 720p output to YouTube. You can also render to Lightworks Archives, but you lose H.264, MP4, or even DVD export options.

So while the toolkit is vast, Lightworks isn’t a very appealing free editor unless you’d like to thoroughly try it out for free and upgrade at a later time.

7. Avidemux

Summary: A capable freebie, but lacking in polish and features.

Avidemux made our list of the best Linux video editors7 Free Open Source Video Editors for Linux7 Free Open Source Video Editors for LinuxVideo editing on Linux is constantly improving. A good selection of open source video editing software is now available to Linux users, and we've got seven of the best for you to check out.Read More. Though it’s basic in nature, it works well for simple editing tasks. The app supports a wide variety of input and output formats. The project undergoes several updates a year, with development continuing at a steady pace.

Thankfully, the team maintains parity among all three major versions, so you won’t miss out on any features if you opt for the Mac package.

Avidemux is best reserved for simple tasks like cutting a video down to size, applying video or audio filters, and transcoding. If you’re willing to dig a little deeper, you’ll find a highly capable script editor to automate many of these common tasks.

Be sure to check out the Avidemux wiki for learning materials, and the Avidemux forum can help in case you get stuck.

Mac Video Editing on a Budget

So which is the best video editor for you? iMovie is probably the best all-rounder. It’s free, easy to use, and carefully optimized for Apple hardware. There are plenty of features in it to satisfy beginners and mid-tier users. However, it lacks the raw power to compete with Final Cut or Premiere Pro.

Da Vinci Resolve, on the other hand, is surprisingly-feature rich. It offers multi-track editing and a huge number of professional-tier features to play with. Blender is open source and powerful, but is bogged down by complexity. Shotcut and Openshot are pretty evenly matched, so why not test drive them both? And if you’re looking for something specific to 4K video editing, check out VideoProc.

For me, Video Editor MovieMator is the best! It helped me from easy to medium level. Now I use the Pro version to make more fantastic videos (has become my hobby).
The interface of Video Editor MovieMator is the most intuitive and clear one among the 6 apps you talked about and it's perfect for beginners.
iMovie doesn't accept some video formats, FinalCut and Premiere are not that easy to pick up. Compared with them, I would choose MovieMator which is easy, functional and can create films of high quality.
As privacy/security expert I have to warn against Filmora. a) the free download includes UNSTATED limitations and nowhere will the firm tell you what they are, nor have they responded to inquiries. b) the fine print states they monitor use of the software. They do not use the term meta data, but imply it so that they can better understand usage and make the product better. HOWEVER, they partner with the Red Chinese (Army - which owns 51% of all Chinese corporations), presumably coders, which means this software could have a back door used by Chinese Intelligence. Again, the firm declined to address this question. They understood I am a published author in my area of expertise, and still remained silent. I do not take that as a good sign that they actually care about the customer, but it does imply they don't want people to know the answers. They are either a badly run company, or something worse is afoot.
For Mac or Windows users, there is a free online service called Video Grabber. It always helps me edit video by adding basic effects. Its interface looks very elegant. If this is what you need, maybe it worth a shot to look at.
Nice list but most of them don't run as expected. Shotcut closes frequently, KDEnlive doesn't even open a window and gives an error message after start.
Da Vinci is nice! Didn't know about the free option.
Blender is stable, lightning fast and can be used for nearly everything in media business (Modelling, Rendering, making Games, making Movies and so on).
One recommendation: Natron is a video compositor software like blender or da vinci. It's not just for video editing. Very promising open-source project!
Mac users should try Hitfilm Express. Great features, cross-platform (Mac & Win), and free.
Mac users should also try HitFilm Express. Great, cross platform (Mac & Win), free.
You can download the free
IMOVE
from:
then updated it to the latest version automatically it will update and you will have
the latest version of iMove free without having to pay the $14.99 usd
- You just earned yourself a place in heaven
- aww thanks
- Doesn't work any more. The linked file is an updater which, when you launch it, says
  'ALERT: iMovie 9.0 or later is required to install this update.'
  dc
this article was written in 2012 ! So don't be a smart ass Dima when posting your remarks at the end of 2015
I own a mac but iMovie costs money to download, how can I get this for free?
- Sure its free...
  you can download it at:
  And the updated it to the latest version...
  Works like a charm...
  Cheers ........ :)
  - I'm having problems. After I download it and run it, it says 'Imovie 9.0 or later is required.'
    - Me too! Have you figured out a way to get it to run or update?
  - I'm having this problem too! Have you figured out a way for it to work or update?
None of these apps are actually on the app store except for iMovie
???
I HAD iMovie on my iMac, but after a hd crash, I reinstalled the latest version of the OS (OS X El Capitan) and if I want to reinstall iMovie I have to pay 15 euro :(
From where did you downloaded iMovie and what version of OS X you have (name or numeric version or both[better])?
iMovie is not free anymore and doesn't come with iLife. Hasn't been in 2 years. Wtf you are talking about.
Honestly, I've still yet to figure out how to get iMovie to do anything, but I haven't tested it in the past few months. I find that, for a VERY basic editor, QuickTime actually fulfills my needs, which is literally just syncing audio and footage. Just something to keep in mind for beginners looking for baby steps.
I didn't even realize that I had iMovie on my Mac. Thanks
my iMovie keeps on crashing....
iMovie is TERRRIBLLE. Do not get Apple made programs for your computer. Apple is making all their money from iPhones, so they've pretty much stopped making things. Adobe is pretty much taking over, so get their stuff. I updated my laptop and iMovie doesn't even exist anymore...
- iMovie Agreed IT IS TERRIBLLE!!!
  - I bet you just don't know how to use it because its great!!
    - it's hard to get to know this program as the stupid, frigging thing crashes every time you open it. iMovie = FAIL
How come we have to pay for iMovie now? (just a random question) Just sometime ago I downloaded a free version?
I'm having problems uploading videos to iMovie . Any video I have on file is not an option, I was going to try loading the file to the iMovie selections but not sure that will resolve it….
Lightworks is just out for Mac users yay my windows is too slow for the program finally my mac can be put to good use.
I tried most of this software and I have to say that
- iMovie isn't free
- Blender is 3D modeling software so use it for video editing is a little bit hard
- Kdenlive requires all KDE packages installed, and I prefer something other
- Jahshaka is something from another reality, it's hard to learn
- VLMC looks good and simple but it's PRE-ALPHA now, so it's buggy
- I haven't try Avidemux because I can't find any working dmg
My choise is VideoPad, it's simple and can do anything I want.
Shame on you cause I spent whole day to test all this things
at first I was shocked thet you put imovie on number 1 . Then I realized this article was written in 2012 . Imovie 13 wasn't born yet :)
Great article! Saw the amount of work you put into this and thought I'd just say thanks man! Very helpful.
- iMovie isn't free
iMovie should serve most of mac user well
- Imovie ha sa lot of bugs. Impossible to share your movie on your pc.
- Daniel do you love me?
iMovie for me is the best.
A pal was trying to get info related to this editors a couple weeks ago..will def forward him this link!!
Can't wait for Lightworks. The Windows version is nice.
Didnt know you could edit video in blender
- I edit my wrist in a blender
OOOps ! ...for mac , sorry :)
- its okay
- Don't worry it's all good.
You forget Novacut , it's in dev ; kickstarter funded
The cutting workflow is very good,
works with ubuntu 12.04q
in works : the multitrack sound and multicam,
so it's a project to follow :D
I can't believe all these software are free! They look so professional , I'm starting to move from win to Mac so this kind of article are attractive and useful for me.
KDEmlive on Mac is a pain in the ***.
I don't have a mac but my uncle does and I remember us trying out loads of different video editors to compare them to the full priced equivalents (premiere pro, final cut pro, sony vegas) and I remember us trying out the first three. The limitations of iMovie may be a downfall for enthusiastic video buffs but for the novice it's great and also it's pre-installed, even better! Blender was also a pretty good one, as I recall you could import your 3D modelling into the video suite for some nifty animation. CineFX I think was probably our favourite, pretty easy to use and was like an advanced iMovie, loved every second of using it! hope this helps anyone :)
Mmm... maybe I should try Jahshaka looks really cool.
I have Lightworks on my desktop and it really is nice, but my computer just isn't powerful enough to run it very well. I guess a lot of it has to do with only having 3gb of RAM, but the video card and processor aren't all that great either. Hopefully my new computer (which hasn't arrived yet) will be able to run it (and everything else) better.

If there’s one thing that’s constant in the world of computers, it’s change. There’s been a lot of interesting developments since we first published a list of the best computers for video editing.

So, we thought it was about time we update the list. Read on to find the best computer for your all your video editing needs. 💻🎬

The Best Computers For Video Editing In A Nutshell

While choosing the best computer for video editing, we’ve tried keeping the budget to something that is affordable and manageable.

It is sort of a paradox. Video editors need the best out there, but they also need it to be affordable.

Thus, this list will have options both in the higher brackets as well as in the ‘enthusiast’ segment.

Without further ado, here are our top choices for the best computer for video editing:

Microsoft 28” Surface Studio 2

The Microsoft’s Surface Studio 2 is an engineering marvel. We recently reviewed this all-in-one computer which is the upgraded version of the original Surface Studio.

If we’re being honest, the Surface Studio 2 is probably more suitable for photo editing. The computing specs of the system are a bit on the slower side, but it’s still a capable machine.

Core Configuration

It has a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 7^th gen processor paired with 32 GB of DDR4 RAM. The large 28” monitor that comes with the computer offers a resolution of 4500 x 3000 pixels.

The graphics processor is powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB of GDDR5 internal memory. Plus the computer has 2 TB SSD storage. Not too shabby!

Apple 27” iMac Pro Retina 5K (Early 2019)

Core Configuration

There are multiple versions of the Apple 27” iMac Pro. This one is a little towards the affordable range. This one comes powered by a 3 GHz Intel Xeon W 10- core processor. It is paired with a 32 GB DDR4 RAM. Storage is comprised of a 4 TB PCIe SSD.

Graphics is powered by an AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X GPU. It comes with a 16 GB High Bandwidth Memory VRAM.

This one remains our pick as the best computer for video editing computer in 2019. Still.

Asus ROG Strix GL12 Gaming Computer

As you can read from the specs, this is not a typical video editing computer. Heck, this doesn’t even come with a monitor.

This ASUS ROG Strix computer is designed for avid gamers. But that said, it has enough computing power to handle your video editing requirements.

Here are the details of the computer:

Core Configuration

At the heart of the Asus ROG Strix GL12 is a 9th Gen Intel Core i7 – 9700K processing unit. It’s paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 GPU with 8 GB internal memory.

Plus there’s a 2 TB HDD to save the bulk of your data into a slower storage option while all your applications and current project files are located on a separate faster storage option. 😎

But that said, the items that are missing are the display and peripherals. A fine UHD / 4K monitor, a keyboard, and at least a light pen and you are on your way to creating movie magic.
