Premiere Pro from Adobe now ranks first on our ranking of the professional video editing software. This subscription-based, industry-standard product is geared toward professionals and includes a variety of complex and powerful tools. And the most recent features, which were published in October 2021, demonstrate Adobe's commitment to constantly updating and improving it. If you're more of a hobbyist, our second recommendation, CyberLink PowerDirector 365, is definitely a better fit. It's less expensive and easier to get started with, and it may be purchased for a one-time charge.
