Top 5 Professional Video Editing Software 2014

Compared with consumer-level video editing software, professional video editing tools consume more time, patience and practice for users, which can render not only transition, video effects and basic editing function, but also more complicate, precise powerful function will be composed like multicam, playback and so on. Though consumer video editor is my major research, today I would like to share top professional video editing software for Windows and Mac users with you.

Five major features of Adobe Premiere Pro CC pave the way to get the number one award based on Premiere Pro CS6.
Dynamic Timeline Trimming – This feature can accurately trim video clips within the timeline by providing a realtime preview in the video before doing any edit. Have you ever encounter the lag trimming in other simple video editing software? It never ever happens to Premiere Pro CC.
Warp Stabilizer – With this function, no matter how shaky your video footage is, it can smooth out by one click.
Multicam – I always got many questions about editing bulk videos from my fans, most of them I will suggest to edit with multiple video editors to save time. Now this function solves all problems.
Adobe Creative Cloud – It seems all high-level software or hardware will try best to connect with cloud service. Though it costs monthly a lot, it’s the best way to transmit media files between different user-ends.
Streamlined Editing/Stunning color workflows/Expanded Native Format Support– In order to become the best professional movie editing software, Adobe always learns from competitors, it improve the streamlined editing to compete with FCP’s magnetic timeline feature. To catch up the ColorDirector, it enhances the color workflows. To beat the native advantages of Sony Vegas Pro 12, it expanded native format support.

As the further step of iMovie, Mac users admire FCP as the priority of professional video editing software with several reasons.
Capture & Playback – On one side, Final Cut Pro X can only run in iOS system, on the other site, all software for Mac can use the embedded camera to record/capture in real time. Playback seems the unique function for professional video editing tools, because for those consumer video editors, it’s hardly to find this feature.
Ease of Use – Some may surprise by the magnetic timeline in new version but also blame FCP because of the similarity to iMovie. However, from another angel, it will be easier for those transmitters from iMovie to Professional editing tools. BTW, we also have compressor and Motion to support.

The native support for the Sony XD camera line is the biggest advantages of Sony Vegas Pro 12 when compared with other competitors. Rather than the time-consumption in the layout, users pay more attention on the other functions like the radical redesign and cleaner editing experience.

If you need full creative control of the image reframing and keyframing in your movie, Avid Meida Composer 7 can satisfy you with FrameFlex tools to edit your HD videos freely and smoothly. Like Cloud service in Adobe, this software can speed up your workflow under different system and extend real-time production everywhere when you choose the Interplay Edition.

Actually, this is suite including 3 awarding software- PowerDirector 12, ColorDirector 2, and AudioDirector 4. The reason I put them together because a professional movie editing can ignore any of them to render the best result. For PowerDirector 12, what impress me most is the over 100 video editing tools, majorly like multicam, motion blur, green/blue sheet and so on. For simple video editing software, 10 or 20 video editing tools may be the highest equipment. As long you the AudioDirector 4, it can be your music mixer with precise function like Surround Sound Panning and Audio Keyframe Control. Advanced Color Grading – ColorDirector can remind you of the similar function in Adobe, anyway it can turn your movie to “movie-level” with HRD, RGB function.
