The video creation process goes from pre-production to post-production and arriving at the final result that will be screened, shared, watched and contemplated by others. The recording part itself already requires a series of care, such as attention to light, sound, framing, focus... and good equipment makes all the difference at this stage.
We know that even with planning and with a well-done recording, we still have a long way to go to the final result. That's where post-production comes in, which is the refinement of the material (including in this stage, of editing and adjustments, the Wolkie can become your greatest ally) and this is achieved through editing software.
In addition, soon the Wolkie it will have a plugin for Adobe Premiere, from the Adobe family, to facilitate the work of those who need agile review and use the software.
Currently, there are a multitude of free and paid software that deserve our attention. It should be noted that although the companies responsible for these software are increasingly producing new functionalities, the final result is much more about the capacity, creativity, and vision of those who are operating it than the tool itself.
With that in mind, we brought a list of the 3 largest and most used software on the market to help you choose the one that best suits you, your work style and the visual proposal you are looking for.

One of the largest and most famous post-production software, After Effects it's developed by Adobe, from then on we don't even have to say much, right?!
Perfect for adjustments, refinements, and animations. Because it is part of the Adobe family, it integrates very well with the company's other products.
Ideal for animations, visual effects... you can start from scratch or use presets from the application itself.
Because it is a well-used software, there is a lot of material on the internet and tutorials that are a hand in the wheel even for more advanced users who want to recycle some knowledge.

You can't miss on our list the Sony Vegas Pro. It's always on lists of the best software and it's no wonder.
According to the site itself:
VEGAS Pro offers all the tools needed for professional video editing with advanced HDR color correction, live streaming, and sound design.
A powerful tool with a very objective interface. The learning curve is average, especially if you already have experience with other software in the same segment.
In addition to everything, the software accepts a wide variety of photo and video formats.
Another major highlight is the color correction module, let's face it, it is one of the main points when it comes to post-production and finishing of audiovisual projects, since it is in this process that we correct minor flaws, adjustments in saturation and contrast, sharpness and white balance.
A very cool point to mention is that Sony Vegas Pro's immersive chroma keys feature the tools recommended by the film academy, which were used in the films Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Spider-Man.

We already started by saying that the software won the award for best software in 2017 at the NAB Awards.
As they say on the site itself:
O DaVinci Resolve it is the only solution on the market that combines professional editing, color correction, visual effects, motion graphics and sound post-production in a single software tool.
Its greatest strength lies precisely in providing a unit with several tools that are normally divided into several different software, saving time, resources and, of course, learning.
So, which of these is the tool that you have the most affinity for and which one do you want to learn to start testing the various possibilities?
