Digital technologies have brought about such an important change for audiovisual production in recent times that a before and after can be marked. The 90s were the pioneers in the digitization of audiovisual content, with visual effects the order of the day. In the 2000s, the transition was already fully completed through formats such as DVD or direct-to-Internet scenes. The cheaper of these technologies has led many to take their talent from home, shooting real movies with their mobile phones and/or personal cameras. The quality that can already be achieved with these devices is more than professional, and all it takes is ingenuity and some practice to achieve authentic, one hundred percent digital masterpieces. The video editing sector has also undergone its own revolution thanks to these new technologies, completely changing the way of editing.
And it is that as it happened in music, the films previously were recorded on tapes, on films, which then had to be cut, superimposed, etc… The change from analog to digital has allowed us to change by complete the way editors work, allowing them much more freedom. Now they have all their raw content in recordings that don’t get lost or damaged by use. They can use programs and tools that make editing much easier, although the technical knowledge remains the same. Of course, the editing of a film will also depend on its genre, on what the director seeks to generate with the rhythm, the pauses, the shots… Each film is a world in this sense, although basic editing notions are the same for everyone, from the great Hollywood blockbuster that has cost hundreds of millions to the video we edit at home. In fact, thanks to the popularity of Internet porn, many have taken to recording and editing their own explicit productions from home. That is why we wanted to compile some of the best video editing programs that exist today.
Making porn from home, increasingly common
In the 70s, the time of the heyday of pornographic cinema, films were shot with semi-professional means. The cameras were expensive, the lighting also took part of the budget… It wasn’t cheap to shoot porn, that’s why there weren’t so many productions. The advent of new digital tools has completely transformed the industry. Now, digital cameras are much cheaper, and give access to the industry, even in an amateur way, to people who previously saw shooting a movie as unattainable.
In fact, there are many who have generated millionaire income shooting porn without leaving home. Couples who record themselves in bed and then edit it to upload it to the Internet, creators of erotic content who upload very spicy videos… This type of production, without being professional, often does require some editing strong> for a better finish. Luckily, digital video editing programs are also very easy to get.
Sony Vegas
We start with one of those essential programs for any video editor, whether professional or amateur. The quality and guarantee of Sony make Vegas a very complete program, with a multitude of options in terms of effects, transitions and possibilities. Capable of editing in any quality in its latest updates, it has two essential advantages, at least for us.
The first is that its learning curve is quite light, and we can edit quickly and easily without having a very deep knowledge of this type of software. The second, perhaps even more important, is the large number of add-ons, templates, and effects that the community itself has been creating and adding to the Sony Vegas project. We can even find editing templates for our videos, making them in a matter of minutes. In addition, Sony Vegas is one of the best editing software in terms of performance for less demanding computers.
Adobe Premier Pro
The Adobe signature has become a myth in digital design. Their photo editing or graphic design creation programs are the industry standard. With Adobe Premiere Pro, the firm also wants to become a benchmark in video editing. And in fact, for many it has already achieved it, with a very well put together program, although somewhat more complex than the competition.
The advantage is that it is fully connected to Photoshop or Illustrator, thanks to which we can work much better with still photos, for example. Adobe Premiere Pro may seem a bit intimidating at first, but once we get the most out of it, we’ll be able to do real crazy things with this software. Perhaps for less complex videos we can look for a somewhat simpler editor, but if we aspire to total professionalism, Premiere Pro may be one of the best options.
Apple Final Cut
As usual, the Cupertino firm has its own software for all its devices. We already know how special Apple users are in this sense, and what they are looking for is precisely a program capable of getting the most out of their processors and graphics. Final Cut has been, for many years, an inescapable benchmark in video editing.
Programs for Windows were not up to the task of this software, which even “forced” publishers to buy a Mac in order to use it. Today, Final Cut is still a highly respected program, but the competition is already greater, and it has fallen a bit behind. The special needs of Apple teams can make working with Final Cut a little complicated. If we already have several brand devices, such as iPhone or iPad, it may be the best solution when it comes to editing our videos.
Wondershare Filmora
The last to arrive, but one of those who has best known how to position himself. Your secret? A very simple interface for those who are not so used to this type of editor. Filmora is surely the best option for beginners, since it is very easy to use and offers very professional finishes to videos with correct editing.
It does not have as many effects as the previous ones, nor does it have a community so dedicated to the cause, but after all, many just need a simple editor. If you are one of those who do not want to complicate too much with scenes and cuts, Filmora will save you a lot of time and will allow you to give your videos a spectacular finish.
