Video editor for YouTube [closed]

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.
