Inside this video I show you exactly the video programs we use to create and edit our videos. Since I’m a Mac user I do have preference over certain programs, but don’t worry I’ve made sure to include the PC versions as well.
Since this was a common question I got asked a lot about, it was time for this, so here it is…
Here are the tools mentioned inside the video as well:

Hi! It’s Tyrone Shum from Outsourcinglive.com. In today’s video, I want to share with you or actually answer a question from one of my viewers to edit videos. So let me share with you what’s going to be inside.
Now, I’ve created two different parts for it. First part is to share with you the video editing programs for anyone on a budget. So these are literally programs that have been bundled into your operating system such as for both PC and the Mac. And then the second one is I’m going to share with you professional video editing programs for anyone to spend a little bit more. So if you’re looking for that extra little cutting-edge special effects and that kind of stuff, I’ll be sharing with you those programs that we use as well.
Now, keep in mind, these programs are recommended for both yourself if you’re interested but I highly recommend it when you have hired a video editor to give these programs to them and to outsource it to them to edit your videos.
Program #1: Windows Live Movie Maker (PC)
So the first one that I recommend to check out is the Windows Live Movie Maker for PC. I think that’s the latest version. As of doing this video, it’s like the 2011 version which is Windows Like Movie Maker, and that’s usually bundled into your Windows 7 or Windows operating system and that’s basically free to be able to use. And it works sufficiently well and if you’re on a budget, that does sufficient to be able to allow you to edit your programs.
Program #2: iMovie
Second one is the iMac. This is for the Mac users, just like myself – sorry iMovie gets bundled into Mac with the software which is iWorks. And you can check that out as well.
Now if you’re looking to get something a little bit professional and you’re prepared to spend a little bit more, these are the pieces of software that our team or my video editing team uses to be able to do all our video such as screen captures and also any of the special effects that we have.
So what I’m going to recommend to you right now are just a couple of pieces of software both for PC and Mac that we use for screen capture. So doing a presentation like this, I’m using a screen capture software and also presenting anything that’s drawn on the screen as well.
Program #3: Camtasia Studio (PC)
So you can use a software called Camtasia Studio which is available for PC and you can actually access this as well directly at my link which is at Outsourcinglive.com/Camtasia. By the way, I better let you know as well, these are affilliate links here so if you do decide to purchase any of these software, I do get a commission from these and I just want to thank you upfront for that. But I just wanted to let you know that these pieces of software that I use are perfect for recording things such as desktop presentations, webinars, and doing presentations like what I’m doing right now to share with you.
Program #4: Screenflow (Mac)
Now if you’re a Mac user like I am, I currently also use Screenflow for Mac. And you can also access this piece of software and download it as well for trial and purchasing at Outsourcinglive.com/Screenflow. Both are perfectly great software to be able to do and they do cost a little bit money to purchase but they are highly, highly professional software that I’ve been using with my team and to do these presentations that you can see right.
Program #5: Adobe Prmiere Pro (PC and Mac)
Okay and then finally if you’ve seen a lot of my videos, a lot of the videos that we do, we edit them and add special effects to it. And the way we do that is with a software called Adobe Premiere Pro and this available for both PC and for Mac.
Now, this piece of software allows you to edit the videos and also too allows you to add special effects to it. If you’re just starting out and you don’t want to actually spend too much money, you can actually get Adobe After Effects as well which does the trick and edit all in Screenflow and Camtasia, whichever one you’ve got. So Adobe After Effects is available for both PC and Mac but if you don’t want to get the other software which I just recommended which is Camtasia and Screenflow, you can have everything all bundled inside Adobe Premiere Pro and does all that. And basically my video editor uses this to be able to do it as well.
So if you want to get access to it, it’s Outsourcinglive.com/Adobepremierpro and I just wanted to let you know that these pieces of software are awesome because they do so many great things and it’s ideal for outsourcing out to your video editors to let them do their work and to edit them because they obviously are a lot more experienced at this and they’ve got that creative side.
So these are the software that we used in our team and I just thought I’d share them with you since that’s a question that you’ve asked. And I hope that you’ll be able to take these away and also implement them and share them with your video editors as well.
All right, thank you very much for watching this. And my name is Tyrone Shum from Outsourcing Live and remember, just outsource it.

[..YouTube..] @Outsourcinglive k thx
[..YouTube..] @Tjandy98 I personally prefer Adobe Premier as it allows for special effects that you would not get with Sony Vegas. It will take some time to learn and that’s why I recommend you find a video editor with this skillset already.
Thanks,
[..YouTube..] @Outsourcinglive And one more Q,After Effects or Premier better?I want to edit for gaming and other stuff.YOur videos have been great.
[..YouTube..] @Tjandy98 I think Adobe Premier Pro is better, which is my biased opinion. All our videos are created in Adobe Premier Pro. Thanks.
[..YouTube..] Adobe Premier pro.Is it as good as Sony Vegas?And is it easy?Any cool things?Which is better?
Hi Tyonre,
Its great to see what you are using to acheive such great looking videos!
Just a quick question. You often speak about your video editor. Do you hire this person on a full time basis or do you pay per video?
I guess I’m trying to work out if you are the only person that employs this person or not as I’ve heard its better to find full time workers rather than part time workers from the Philippines.
Also do you just record voice when making these videos and have your video editor make the related presentations?
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your compliment. I’ve hired my video editor full time who works on any video I send to him, and that gives me flexibility. It works out to be more cost effective this way for me and since I create other backend products, his always got plenty of work to keep him occupied.
Also to add I recommend hiring people full time if you can, there’s a big benefit in building a team around you, rather than getting the one off job done.
About the presentations, I create the slides and the voice over, since I know what’s in them. My video editor just adds the intro and the outros and does all the uploading for me.
Thanks,
Hi Tyrone,
Thank you very much for sharing your technology stuff. I have some experience with the Adobe After Effects but it’s just a basic. Anyway, Windows Movie Maker is a good start to learn because it is very easy to use.

Hi Felix,
You are definitely right about that. Start with the basics first and then move onto learning the about the more advanced ones later on.
I also highly recommend Final Cut X by Apple, it is only $300.00 and it is very powerful.
Bonus: You can bring imovie projects into Final Cut X, so you can do a basic rough cut of a video in imovie and then pass the movie to a pro to put in the final touches to your video, you save money since the video has been roughly edited by you.
Also, once you get comfortable with imovie you can move up to Final Cut X and find it to be an easy transition.
If you want to do motion graphics I would recommend Apple’s Motion software. If you look at my link you will see my motion graphics work videos and I use Apple’s Motion, it only costs $50.00 and it is an amazing tool.
Another software I highly recommend is Blender 3D. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF SOFTWARE!
Best of all it is FREE and it works on all computers.
With Blender 3D you can edit videos, make 3D animations, video games and much much more. Go to their site and check out their 2011 demo reel, it is mind blowing and it is all done on a free piece of software.
Enjoy!

Wow, that’s nice. I’ve used Final Cut Express and it was good for editing, but I didn’t like how long it would take to render then export out. Is that still the case with Final Cut X? That’s really the main reason why I switched over to Screenflow and my video editor uses Adobe Premier Pro.
Thanks for the suggestions and I’ll get my video editor to check them out.
