What editing software do you guys use?

[16BitsOfAwesome]

I use Adobe Premiere Pro. Well, I use all of the editing software in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Premiere, Audition, and sometimes After Effects).

However, you're looking for simple editing. Premiere Pro (and its competition, Final Cut Pro X) is really simple, but has a bit of a learning curve.

If you have a Mac, I would suggest using iMovie to start out. It's really simple and powerful enough.

If you have a PC, well... uh... Adobe Premiere Elements is pretty good for just starting out. Simple, and is A LOT cheaper than the CC suite. It's actually on sale now for the holidays. (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere-elements.html). Not as many features as Premiere Pro, but you probably don't need that many features as a YouTuber (most of the time).

If you want a free option for PC, I hear that Windows Live Movie Maker is pretty solid. There are many other free options out there, but I don't know how many are backed by a big company willing to put time and money into ensuring that it works well.

I use a programming called Hitfilm it also comes with a 30 day free trial if that helps. So if you have a lot of free time plan what you want to do and then download the free try then edit all your videos in thoses 30 days, its then up to you if you want to buy it of course hehe

Adobe Premiere Pro! I just love this one! I used Sony Vegas a lot though but I changed it to Premiere when Sony Vegas was acting weird on my computer. Best change I have ever done!

You might want to try Final Cut Pro X. It's a lot like iMovie but with more powerful features. It's pricier but it's intuitive.

That being said I've converted to Premiere, but that's a monthly cost and not a flat price like FCPX.

Depends on whether the extra features are needed or not and the type of video being produced. Some of the big YouTubers only use iMovie to edit their video together perfectly fine.
