In this video, we're putting the beginner editor on Adobe Premiere against the pro on iMovie in a video editing showdown! Find out which software comes out on top and which one is best for you. In this challenge, they both edit footage shot by Landon for a fan-made commercial for Ghost Longboard. With no creative upper hand, they each have two hours to transform this footage into a compelling story. Josh, a three-month Premiere Pro user, and Jake, revisiting iMovie after years, face off to showcase their editing skills. The results are fascinating! Landon critiques both edits, discussing aspects like pacing, frame rate, color grading, and sound design. While Josh's slower-paced, technically sound edit impresses, Jake's iMovie creation brings an immersive, fast-paced vibe with impressive sound design, winning Landon's favor as the ideal choice for engaging social media content. In conclusion, this challenge highlights the importance of skills over gear. Full-time Filmmaker emphasizes this ethos, offering a course to excel in filmmaking with any equipment.
