1.Adobe Premiere pro(CS4/CS5/CS6)(Most recommended)
2. Sony Vegas
3.Final cut pro

Final cut pro/Sony Vegas are more common with Marcintosh/Apple systems

4. Adobe after effects is another good one.. very good I must add.. It's what I use mostly, however if you're not going to be doing any effects based editing then I think you should just go with Adobe premiere pro.

ahn...ahn don't cry na. grin

If you are using a PC then you should know it comes with an inbuilt video editing package (Windows Live Movie Maker). It is cool and easy to use and even comes with a direct youtube link to upload your videos.
Plus it is what you want - simple and cheap.


If you are on a MAC then iMovie is ok.

It depends on what you mean by cheap though..

Are you willing to pay or are you talking about being expensive in terms of downloading online.

The Adobe Master Suite I have though I got it for "free" from another editor so I wouldn't be able to tell you how cheap they are in cash but I know you can download them for "free" online

Cyber link editor is ok... But it just gives you the basic features... "Cut" and "Paste" and "Freeze"... Etc..

As the other poster said.. You should have Windows Live Movie Maker on your PC. I think that should do.

If I get your question correctly...You've finished working on the project?.. then you want to export your work from the time line so you can watch through any media player?...

If that's your question... I'd have liked to hurriedly say it's easy.. but it's not quite... But I'd try my best to break it down for you in stepwise chunks.

-From your Task bar in the upper part of the User interface.. Go to COMPOSITON

-When it opens, you'll see a number of options.. Click on MAKE MOVIE

- After clicking on MAKE MOVIE.. It would open a mini page within the same interface... The mini page would appear towards the bottom - part of the screen.

-Within this mini page, there are several things you would see...

1. Best settings
2. Lossless
3. Log(Errors only)
4. Output To

But you should only be concerned with lossless and Output To

-Now click on Lossless
-When you do, it opens another mini page in the centre of the screen... This page also has a lot of random stuff on it but you would only be interested in the sections with the following headers

1. Format
2. Post - Render Action
3. Channels
4. Depth
5. Color

Now infront of all these headers you're supposed to have a selected setting... Some may come default with your project, while you would have to manually edit the settings attached to some of this headings... The list below is how you should align your settings to... Now this list matches each header I've previously listed above..

1. Format: AVI
2. Post Render Action: None
3. Channels: RGB+Alpha
4. Depth: Millions of colors+
5. Color: Premultiplied(Matted)

After putting all these values/settings then click OK

Now after clicking OK, the mini page closes.. and you go back to that bottom mini page where you came from.... You'd notice that the Lossless link has changed to Custom AVI

-Then go to Number 4 ( Output Module )

-When you click it, it would open another mini page towards the left hand corner of your screen that let's you choose in which part/folder of your system you want the project to be saved/coverted/sent to...so you'd continue back clicking till you get to the desired place you want to save.

When that's done you click Save

After clicking Save the previously opened page closes and you return to the mini bottom page where you've been coming from.

The last thing is to look for a bar within this mini bottom page called Render

When you see it.. Click on it... After which you'd see a yellow loading bar...The duration of the loading is a function of the length /size of your project.

When the loading is done... You'd hear a ping or a sound... That sound means your project has been successfully exported/sent to where you told it to

After this go to where you saved the project to under the header: Output To

Open and watch.

I'm sorry it's long.

This is the best way I could truly explain it for you to get it.


If you're still finding it difficult.


I'm a mention away.

Cheers

P.S: By the way, if the answer I've so detailedly given is not the answer to your question, possibly because I didn't understand the question... Guy.. Honestly... You will buy me Aboniki balm to rub on my fingers.. Because they are seriously hurting right now grin

Anyhow though, I hope it may still be able to help someone out there.

You're most welcome grin

I use CS5, and in CS5 there's the "Make Movie" Option.

In CS6 however, to export your project... Go to "Composition".. When it opens look for Add to Render Queue

When you click on Add to Render Queue it would still bring the Mini-buttom page with all those 1-4 headers I talked about in my previous post


From there it's just the same procedure as the steps I gave in my previous post.

By the way.... It seems as if you just started using after effects.. Do you know how to use Premiere pro?... Aftereffects as far as I'm concerned would be easier for you if you've mastered Premiere pro(my personal opinion). Premiere pro is like one of the most widely used composting/editing softwares

To be candid, I don't know anything about corel video studio. The editing softwares I mentioned in my earlier posts are the industry's favorite and 9 out of 10 editiors or motion graphics artists you meet would tell you they use/have used or are planning to use any of the softwares I mentioned. But if you're really keen on knowing about corel video studio, you may find more information online.

For social media my advice is use optimised editors. For example https://create.vista.com/colors/color-names/aquamarine/. Quality of video, color correction and filters are optimised sucessfully for youtube. And you save much time on render by using this tool. Can try it, and it's free
