In the article, I would like introduce the 4 best video editor desktop applications for you, especially video editing novices.

1.Window Movie Maker (For Windows OS)
Window Movie Maker is available for PC owners to deal with their handy shooting editing. Take its 2.6 version as an example, it can well run on both Windows OS 7 and Windows Vista. While advanced users are likely using a more sophisticated video editing program, there’s no denying that Movie Maker is an excellent, full-featured option for the average home user. The plain interface promises simplicity with drag-and-drop storyboard options, though during testing, it was more like drag and freeze.

Tip 1: Sometimes, you may find your handy file formats can’t be recognized by Windows Movie Maker. In the case, Windows Movie Maker Video Converter AVI or WMV should be an easy way out.

2.Pinnacle Studio 14 (For Windows OS)
The Pinnacle Studio 14 utilize user-friendly video capture and editing process. It is largely based around three tabs; Capture, Edit, and Make Movie.

3.iMovie (For Mac OSX)
iMovie makes it easy to turn your home videos into your all-time favorite films. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll watch them over and over again. And you’ll share them with everyone.

4. Final Cut Pro

Tip: You will find there are still some popular file formats can’t be supported by Final Cut Pro. In order to make them well playback in FCP, you have to use a third party video converter for Mac, which can convert AVI to Final Cut Pro or import MP4 into Final Cut Pro for editing.
