5 Things To Consider When Choosing a YouTube Video Editor
Once just a job for Hollywood or video professionals, video editing can now be achieved by anyone who wants to post a video on YouTube. However with over 30,000 hours of video content uploaded to YouTube every hour, you know in order to stand out from the crowd and keep your viewers on the edge of their seats, you need to deliver engaging high-quality YouTube videos.
However, with so many video editors available, picking the right video editor for YouTube can be overwhelming. You want to make sure you make the right decision. Below are 5 factors to consider when choosing a YouTube video editor:
How to choose a video editor for YouTube?
1. Ease of Use
A good place to start is to consider how easy and intuitive the YouTube video editing software is. You do not want to pick a video editor that makes you refer to the user-guide each time you need to edit the video or apply an effect.
Some video software are complicated and take forever for you to even load the video. Since it is likely you will be recording and editing a lot of YouTube videos, you want to make sure your video post-production is as easy and enjoyable as possible.
If you are looking to learn more about video editing, a good YouTube video editor should include lots of video tutorials so you can learn each feature and maximize your editing capabilities. In summary, ensure your video editor for YouTube has an intuitive workflow and puts all the tools at your fingertips.
2. Video Format Support
Import
Before buying your video editing software for YouTube, make sure it supports the video format captured by your camera or recorder. This is especially important if you want to edit videos from 360 cameras, Stereoscopic cameras, 4K action cameras, drones, and more.
Export
Imagine if you spent hours importing your video clips, trimming, adding effects, voice-overs, and video effects, only to realize that your exported video is low-definition or not in a video format supported by YouTube.
As an added bonus to save time, you also want to ensure your edited video can directly be uploaded to YouTube so you don’t have to waste time exporting the video onto your machine and then logging into YouTube and uploading the video.
3. Advanced Editing Features
While most video editors have basic editing features that allow you to slice and dice videos, you know in order for your video to stand out on YouTube, you need to take your video to the next level! Some of the advanced video editing features for YouTubers to consider include:
Color correction
Video stabilization
External plugin support
Chroma key green screen
3D and 360 video editing
Fast video rendering
4. Audio Tools
Often an overlooked key feature, make sure your YouTube video editor software has good audio editing capabilities. Things to consider include whether the audio is included in the timeline and the video editor has the ability to separate audio from video.
Most professional YouTube videos will need background music and depending on your video editor, this can be an added cost to either purchase the music and/or buy an expensive audio editing software/plugin.
Ensure your video editor for YouTube has a royalty-free stock sound library and advanced audio features including:
Volume adjustments
Voice over recording
Noise removal
Surround sound
VST plugin support
5. Budget
It is very easy to be overwhelmed by a list of features and fancy marketing videos, but an important consideration for picking a YouTube video editor is to assess how much you are willing to pay? There is a range of paid and free YouTube video editors available, some that even that cost a couple of thousand dollars. Depending on the range of features you require, performance, and ease of use, make a decision.
It is also a good opportunity to consider YouTube video editors that include free trials so you can test out all the features you require, performance, and ease of use, before making a purchase decision.

The Best Video Editor for YouTube
The Best Video Editor for YouTube
In the age of social sharing, everyone has a voice and a message that they want to be heard. YouTube has remained the major platform for those voices for many years and as a result, it has propelled many musicians, comedians, filmmakers, & thrill-seekers into the spotlight. In fact, did you know that YouTube even has awards that it sends out to its best "YouTubers" after they achieve certain numbers of views and subscribers? All the more reason to get started creating your own viral video content! It does take more than just uploading a video to achieve YouTube fame, though. Most YouTubers will tell you that basic video editing skills are a necessity if you want to succeed.
What Makes a Good YouTube Video?
Cutting & Trimming
Cutting out the less exciting parts of a video will make it more enjoyable to watch and keep viewers engaged. YouTube does favor longer videos in their algorithm, but they should belong because they are full of great footage, not because you included all thirty-one attempts that it took to stick a good-looking backflip into the pool.Transitions & Effects
Transitions help to make video clips play together seamlessly. Smooth transitions can help make the switch between clips with different scenery a lot more subtle and easier on the eyes. Additionally, adding effects to your YouTube videos such as Ken Burns (pan and zoom) can help make basic clips like still scenery a little more lively.Audio & Sound
Many YouTuber's create videos with just pictures and then they provide a voice-over to accompany the images. When done right, these types of videos are every bit as engaging as actual video clips. Having music playing throughout your video adds another layer of engagement as well. A cooking video with a long clip of someone stirring cake batter in complete silence will lose viewers a lot quicker than if there were music being played in the background.Add Text to Video
The use of text in YouTube videos for titles and captions can help keep the viewer informed and engaged. Text can be used to create subtitles if the speaker's voice in a video can't be heard clearly, as well as to show language translations. You can also use text as an attention-getter to have an important word that was said display on the screen.Proper Formatting
Properly formatted videos will receive more clicks and views than those that aren't because they are exposed to the right audience. Using the appropriate thumbnails, titles, descriptions, & tags will help make sure that a video is put in front of relevant viewers. A good YouTube video editing software will have features that make formatting your YouTube videos a breeze.So, What is the Best Video Editor for YouTube?
If you are looking for the best video editor for YouTube, then look no further than VideoPad Video Editing Software. VideoPad checks all of the above boxes and more when it comes to producing quality YouTube videos. This full-featured, professional video editor allows you to create movie masterpieces in minutes that will be shared by your followers over and over again.

The simple drag and drop interface makes compiling and organizing clips easy and adding text, transitions & effects is a breeze. It is for these reasons that VideoPad was recently named "The Best Video Editor for YouTube" by TomsGuide.comOther YouTube Video Editing Features

Introducing: Vertical Video Editing with VideoPad
Introducing: Vertical video editing with VideoPad
Many of our favorite applications are beginning to place mobile-first when it comes to content priorities. Popular mobile apps implement the use of the vertical scroll to shuffle through content. If you scroll upon a video that is shot horizontally, you either have to view it at a very small size or adjust the position of your device to view it full screen. Videos that are filmed and edited to be viewed vertically create a much better user experience on mobile platforms, which are making up an increasingly larger share of video viewers. Learning how to edit vertical videos is a great way to get ahead of the game. VideoPad Video Editing Software provides great options for editing and exporting vertical videos that are simple and effective.
Vertical Videos
When our phones are on their side, or horizontal, the screen has the same aspect ratio as a standard TV or movie screen. Vertical videos are like taking that TV and flipping it on its side. So instead of a widescreen video, it is a "tall-screen" video. Vertical videos are much more mobile-friendly than horizontal videos and they are a great way to capture tall subjects like people, buildings, and trees. These subjects would normally be cropped in a wide-angle shot. This is why social media platforms like Snapchat have adopted the use of vertical videos in their platforms. The more we turn to mobile to view video content, the more we will be shifting to vertical videos.
Import Vertical Videos
Editing vertical videos in VideoPad is a breeze. Start by importing your vertical videos into the program by clicking on the Add Files button, located underneath the Home tab. This will launch the file finder window where you may find and select the vertical videos that you would like to edit from wherever they are located on your computer. Select the videos you wish to edit, then click Open to bring them into the program.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio refers to the ratio of width to height in a video frame. Vertical videos are videos where the height is greater than the width, typically because they were shot on a mobile phone where the screen is like this. To set the aspect ratio for a vertical video in VideoPad, right-click on a video clip in the media bin and hover the Aspect Ratio option to view the various aspect ratios. Select a vertical video aspect ratio from the list such as 4:5 or 9:16.
Edit Vertical Videos
Now that you have set the proper aspect ratio for vertical video editing, you can drag your video clips into the timeline. Here you can perform any edits to your video you would like before exporting it as a movie. Arrange the order of your clips and add transitions between them. Add text and audio to your video and apply any video effects you would like.
Exporting Vertical Videos
After you are finished editing your video, you are ready to export it and start sharing. To export a vertical video in VideoPad, click on the main File tab and select the option that says Export Video. This will launch the Export Video Window, where you can name your file, set the location and choose the output resolution. Set the Resolution to match your selected aspect ratio and then click Create when you are ready to export. Your vertical video will be exported to your chosen output destination and you are now ready to share it with the mobile video viewing world!
