While searching for a editing software to use for my editing project I came across three options, as I looked through each software I had to make sure that they met a set of requirements as later on i would be using the software for my portfolio project.
The requirements
1. must be a web-based site that is free to use
2. Must be able to lay multiple tracks
3. Must be able to pull audio off video tracks
4. Must allow for collaboration
The Three Sites
For this project I was able to find three software that i would potentially be using for the portfolio later down the road they are Videopad, Openshot.org , and Clipchamp.com
Videopad
Videopad is a free to use and beginner friendly software that is downloadable for usage, although that there is so much good things on the app it doesn't meet the requirements that i need it too. This editing app is not web based and it does not allow for collaboration.
Openshot.org
Openshot.org is another free to use program for editing, however I feel that it is aimed for more seasoned editors usage, after playing with the program I found it too difficult to use. Similar to Videopad it is a program that is not web based and requires a download to use, it does have the abilities to lay multiple tracks and cut audio from clips but instead of having collaboration it has cross platform.
Clipchamp.com
Clipchamp.com is the only editing software that i was able to find meets all requirements, it is a web based site that allows for multiple tracts to be layered and provides what I need for audio. Also it allows for collaboration which is super important. its free to use and its also simple to use so it meets my personal requirements as well.
My choice
After conducting my research I have come with the choice to use Clipchamp.com as it is the easiest out of the three software for me to use and is also meets all the requirements that are needed along with my own. So I think that it would be the best for me to use that software.
