I just paid $400 once for Final Cut Pro and used it for a DECADE but Apple has been slooooowly dripping more and more features behind the subscription version in Apple "Creator Studio" ... and I think they're finally about to get me to pay ($129/yr) with this latest update.

Damn, everyone really started from Windows Movie Maker 😂 Wild to think the biggest tech channel on the planet started on software that used to crash if you dragged more than three clips onto the timeline at once

Microsoft really missed out on offering one of the most accessible video editing product that could've beaten likes of premiere and final cut. But of course, we're talking Microsoft.

Sony Vegas was gated... Don't know why Sony didn't give it the attention it deserved

I used Camtasia Studio and Sony Vegas the most until I got a Mac and learned Final Cut Pro 7.

Aah Sony Vegas. This editor carried the early YouTube. I remember, I was using Camtasia Studio but kept hearing about its legendary status from the community, tried it and uninstalled it next day then went to Premiere pro.

Lol, me too, first video I ever edited was Windows Movie Make, and second was Camtasia as well. Now I use FCP on Mac and I’m considering Luma Fusion for mobile? What’s y’all’s opinion on Luma?

You used all four on one video?

Camtasia and Sony Vegas + After Effects was my first apps for video's I edited and posted on YT back in 2012👍

How did you even remember 😭

are you trying to sound relatable or some shit? because it would be logical for a multimillionaire to spend $100/year if a product is even slightly better and your whole business revolves around it what am i missing?
