Over time, I’ve tried different tools to find what fits my editing style and workflow. I don’t use one software for everything — each tool has its own purpose.
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro is my main video editing software. I use it for most of my editing work, from cutting and arranging footage to adding transitions, effects, titles, and audio.
I especially like how well it performs on Mac and how quickly I can work through a project.
DaVinci Resolve
I also use DaVinci Resolve, especially when I want more control over colour and finishing.
Its colour grading tools are one of the main reasons I enjoy using it. It’s also a powerful editor when I need a different workflow from Final Cut Pro.
Canva
Canva is useful for the visual side of my projects. I use it for thumbnails, social media graphics, simple motion graphics, and other supporting visuals.
It’s quick and convenient when I need to create something without opening a full editing application.
AI Tools
AI tools have also become part of my workflow. I use them mainly for generating ideas, exploring concepts, creating assets, and speeding up repetitive tasks.
I see AI as a creative tool rather than a replacement for the editing process.
Choosing the Right Tool
I don’t think having the most tools automatically makes someone a better editor. What matters more is knowing how to use the right tool for the right job.
My workflow continues to change as I learn and experiment, but Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Canva are currently some of the tools I use the most.
There’s always another technique to learn, another tool to try, and another project to improve with.
