Which is the best video editor for making YouTube videos in 18.04?

Something like adding in the video - texts and symbols ( or emojis ), and things around that line. Also, some method to export output in a format compatible with YouTube standards.

Personally I'd recommend DaVinci Resolve.

Although I've used Kdenlive a ton, DaVinci is really high brow and yet free.

you can download it here:

after that you can run it. I suggest watching one or two videos on it's different workflow.

they kinda reinvented the workflow and you don't have to use "their" workflow, but I honestly gotta say it's better than the workflow you'll typically have under apps like kdenlive or Premiere and saves alot of time so it's worth learning.

Apparently Cinelerra GG / Flowblade / Natron / Shotcut / Lightworks are a much better solution then DaVinci Resolve and compatible with Ubuntu to boot (which isn't really the case for Davinci Resolve).

• Cinelerra GG
• Flowblade
• Natron
• Shotcut
• Lightworks
• Blender

These applications can be used together for a workflow, for example :

[Flowblade] -> [Natron]

Or all alone, for example :

[Cinelerra GG]

I haven't tried them but this is a much more appropriate answer given we're on ask ubuntu.

The following are good options:

1. Kdenlive : This is usually the most preferred video editing tool for linux with a bunch of features and a lot of customization options. See the wiki page for more info.
2. Openshot: I have personally used this and it also does a good job. However I had some issues with it as it used to hang sometimes. But overall it has quite user-friendly interface and is very easy to learn.
