5 Movie Maker Alternatives to Try in 2020

1

Movie Maker

Movie Maker was a great video editing program for its time. Simple, straightforward, and most importantly – free. No wonder the community got terribly disappointed when Microsoft stopped supporting it in 2017. And after it became clear that Remix – Movie Maker’s long-awaited successor – is unable to perform nearly half of what the original program could do, many Windows users had to start searching for Movie Maker alternatives.

OpenShot

Openshot is an open source video editor available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Like most open source projects, Openshot is widely supported by the community and gets regular updates. Its interface is way simpler than the interface of VSDC, for instance, but it also brings less to the table in comparison to the rest of video editors in this roundup.

Olive Video Editor

Olive is a new kid on the block, and its creators surely have ambitions. The video editor that was officially released not so long ago has the intention to become a free alternative to professional-level software. Although the tool is still in the Alpha version – meaning that some features may be missing, and the performance may be unstable – Olive video editor looks promising enough to make it to the list of Movie Maker alternatives.

Kdenlive

Kdenlive is another open source project that works on multiple platforms and unlike Olive, it has been on the market for a long time. Kdenlive brings an impressive set of effects and transitions, although they are hidden behind a less conventional layout and applied a bit differently than in the examples above. Let’s take a closer look.

Hitfilm Express

Although it may look like a tool for real filmmakers, HitFilm Express is beginner-friendly and can be used for simpler tasks like compiling a vacation video if you’re willing to invest a bit of time to get familiar with the main tabs and controls.
