I’m most literate on the Adobe platform, so I’ll discuss the options later, with links to resources on collaboration with Apple and Avid.īeyond collaboration, online editors attempt to distinguish themselves with features that are not generally available from less expensive desktop editors, including accurate text to speech. Of course, you can also collaborate with traditional desktop editors like Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer. Most cloud-based editors enable some form of collaboration, as I’ll discuss later. If you’re working with a team, the ability for multiple editors to access and edit the same content from disparate locations can be critical. First and most important is collaboration. In general, there are multiple motivations for cloud-based editing. Few offer full-function trials (other than for press types) that allow you to actually test the editor in real projects, which I, personally, found frustrating. While you might not want to edit a full-length feature film in a cloud service, producing a 1- or 2-minute production for social media distribution should be a breeze.Īll services charge on a monthly basis, with different tiers for different feature sets.
Most services let you start editing while the clip is being uploaded. If you’re concerned about the upload time, don’t be. The actual edits are performed on machines provisioned by the cloud service so you can edit from a notebook or underpowered computer. Cloud-based video editing means that you upload your source video files to the cloud service, then edit and encode them within your browser. Who should consider using them and why? How can you tell them apart? That’s what I’ll cover in this article. There are many cloud-based editing solutions available, nearly too many to count.
