Hello Everyone,
I have used many video editing software in mobile but not in PC. Can anyone suggest me a good video editing software for PC? It will be a great help

What kind of videos do you want to make?

I use avidemux for simple cuts
Handbrake for transcoding from one format to another
Windows Movie Maker for basic videos with titles < this one should be good enough for most purposes
Adobe Spark for social media videos
Adobe Premiere Pro for more demanding projects

There is OpenShot. It has a Windows version as well. OpenShot is a very basic editor. There are no rich templates or similar ecosystem goodies.

I use one program for all those things -> Adobe Premiere. My one swiss army knife. xD

Spark does some really good social media videos
avidemux is useful for cutting humongous files that you do not want to load in premiere - like clips from movies and the like
premiere pro does not import some formats, such as mkv, so handbrake

I will try Avidemux again. When I attempted to try it, the UI was archaic and clunky. It was buggy too, not much user friendly.
Maybe I will try it with fresh set of eyes this time.

Is spark free to use? Or does it come with a free version?
I don't think Adobe has any free to use software, apart from Flashplayer that is.
