Closing thoughts
We messed around with both programs for a while, and we were pretty pleased with what they are capable of.
We were never confused by the features because most of them have tutorials explaining what they do and how to use them, and the interface was easy to follow.
However, even if the free trial includes all the cool tools these programs have, it is still limited to 7 days. That shouldn’t be a problem, however, since upgrading to premium is totally worth it.
Movavi Video Converter and Video Editor are definitely on our top list of video editors, especially if you’re a beginner just starting on content creation.
