Just the crack I believe, or it was when I last used it.

Well, CCMaker was an automation tool for batch downloading Adobe tools and patching them with AMTEmu, and that's what doesn't work anymore. I don't think painter7 released a newer crack.

Yeah there's a patch tool for specific versions of the CC products, but I got em all a few months ago so things might've changed. r/piracy is a decent place to find an updated method.

Ah yes, that subreddit opened a whole new world of piracy for me. Nowadays I pirate software from Rutracker, it has good reputation and the stuff from there works fine. They also have m0nkrus releases, which is the guy that cracks the most recent Adobe Suite products.
 
I've been using Vegas/MovieStudio for a few years now but I'm thinking about getting another software. Does Resolve have more options than Vegas?

Unless you're butting your head against limitations just use what you are using.

Here's a squeaky voiced boy telling you why you should use Cyberlink-something:

It is intensively boring.

Sorry for necro, but what editor can you recommend to someone, who's never tried video editing? I don't need to do something very fancy, just replace video sequence and add audio overlay in some places.

Davinci Resolve, it's free AND stable. It's also got a new(ish) quick/youtube mode for cranking out shit fast. It can run on a cheap i5 laptop using Intel IGP if kept under maybe ~4-5 minutes.

Some tips to get you going.

There are two gotchas: autosave isn't turned on by default and the same is true for pre-multiplied alpha, confusing if using images or video with an alpha channel. A third one, if you import a series of images with the same name and sequential numbering, like "Overlay1, Overlay2, Overlay3", it will be imported as a clip and not as individual images. That's just how it is and the toggle to stop that seems to have been removed for reasons unknown.

Keyboard commands: Backspace and Delete is not the same, delete not only removes the clip and audio but it also removes the empty space it would leave behind and that applies to other video and even audio tracks, backspace just removes the clip.

Quality of life stuff:
Ctrl-c then alt-v pastes only the (user defined) attributes to another clip(like audio levels, cropping/scaling and lots of other shit you don't want to do a million times).

Instead of dragging a long video into the timeline and cutting it there, double-click on it in the media pool to open it in the viewer and mark in/out(i and o on the keyboard) the sections you want and drag it onto the timeline or back into the media pool to save them as sub-clips. Create separate bins(folders) for those to keep things organized. Use the arrow keys to move frame by frame(hold them to play at normal speed).

If you end up with a composite section containing tons of video/audio/graphics/effects stacked on each other and it looks messy, make that into a compound clip. A compound clip appears as a single video/audio track and makes things look tidy, it also gets added to the media pool* and can be decomposed into its original form at any time if something needs tweaking. Give those a different color and come up with a naming scheme.

*meaning you can put them together in a separate, empty, timeline(right-click in media pool, "create new timeline") to ease up on resource use. Then add the finished compound clip to the main timeline from the media pool.


It's not that hard to learn the basics, you just need to learn where things are. The learning curve to go from nothing to being able to make a shitty CS GO highlight video set to music is maybe 45 minutes for someone computer literate.

I see no one mentioned avidemux yet, it's fine for quick stuff like game highlight clips I guess, but for anything else I use Premiere Pro CC 2018.

Should I upgrade to Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas?

Premiere would be better as of now, it's more established and it's not going anywhere.

Also on another note, does anyone here have experience with Premiere Rush or Premiere Elements? Premiere Pro is cool but runs a bit slow on my system sometimes. I suppose they're supposed to be more lightweight?

Also, do you use a Mac or a Windows computer?

It's possible to do a lot in Avidemux, it all hinges on how much pain you can take.

Have you tried using proxy files in Premiere Pro to speed things up?

I played around with Premiere Rush because it was included in my Adobe subscription. It quickly became obvious that the program is made with a specific type of video in mind and everything is built around that and I think personal(as opposed to professional) Instagram videos is the intended purpose. It has easy drag-and-drop transitions and graphics, one click filters for video and audio features to clean up voices(that one was pretty nice). It reminded me of programs like On1 that are specifically photo editors.

At first glance Rush looks like it only has a one track timeline but it can do more than that, never tested how many it can take but I would guess maybe four because the timeline expands upwards in an odd way when adding more, so my feeling is that it's largely geared towards using a single track. Maybe two. A hard limitation is that it's not possible to keyframe anything(unless they've added that) so something simple as adding a graphic over a video track and fade it in or out using conventional methods is not possible because opacity, and every other property, is not something that can change over time - which goes back to my theory about it being a one track editing program and not something used for compositing different video elements. If what you want to do isn't one of the available presets/effects, tough titties.

Resource wise it's very light for modern Adobe software and I don't really think it's bad, a toy car isn't bad because it's not a real car. I think it's shit, but that's different.

Never used Premiere Elements but if it's anything like Photoshop Elements it's probably kind of ok, like getting positively surprised by a school cafeteria. It's not great... except they let tards mess around with the GUI and four of the five common tools you normally use are there and where can they have hidden the fifth one... oh it's not included, shit.

Thanks for the reply. Rush sounds useless due to the no keyframing thing. I'll look into Premiere Elements I guess.
 
I just programmed my own interface for a bunch of ffmpeg scripts, works alright. I use a 1..2ghz core 2 duo and the footage is 1920x1080 at 25fps. It will edit on pretty much anything. I need to update the gitlab though.

For those that do video editing (I just made every frame a keyframe, lol) the entire thing depends off hard drive speed :D
