6. Vegas Pro :
VEGAS Pro is a video editing software package for non-linear
editing (NLE) originally published by Sonic Foundry, then by Sony Creative
Software, now owned and run by Magix Software GmbH.
Originally developed as an audio editor, it eventually developed into
an NLE for video and audio from version 2.0. Vegas features real-time

7. Apple iMovie :
iMovie is a video editing software application sold by Apple
Inc. for the Mac and iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini and iPod Touch). It
was originally released in 1999 as a Mac OS 8 application bundled
with the first FireWire-enabled consumer Mac model – the iMa DV.
Since version 3, iMovie has been a macOS-only application included
with the iLife suite of Mac applications. From 2003, iMovie is included
free with all new Mac computers.
iMovie imports video footage to the Mac using either
the FireWire interface on most MiniDV format digital video cameras
or the computer's USB port. It can also import video and photo files
from a hard drive. From there, the user can edit the photos and video
clips and add titles, themes, music, and effects, including basic color
correction and video enhancement tools and transitions such as fades
and slides.

8. Final Cut Pro :
Final Cut Pro is a series of non-linear video editing
software programs first developed by Macromedia Inc. and later Apple
Inc. The most recent version, Final Cut Pro X 10.3, runs on Intel-

allows users to log and transfer video onto a hard drive (internal or external),
where it can be edited, processed, and output to a wide variety of formats. The
fully rewritten Final Cut Pro X was introduced by Apple in 2011, with the last
version of the legacy Final Cut Pro being version 7.0.3.
Since the early 2000s, Final Cut Pro has developed a large and
expanding user base, mainly video hobbyists and independent filmmakers. It
had also made inroads with film and television editors who have traditionally
used Avid Technology's Media Composer. According to a 2007 SCRI study,
Final Cut Pro made up 49% of the United States professional editing market,
with Avid at 22%. A published survey in 2008 by the American Cinema Editors
Guild placed their users at 21% Final Cut Pro (and growing from previous
surveys of this group), while all others were still on an Avid system of some
kind.

9. Wax :
Waxes are a diverse class of organic
compounds that are hydrophobic, malleable solids near
ambient temperatures. They include higher alkanes
and lipids, typically with melting points above about
40 °C (104 °F), melting to give low viscosity liquids. Waxes
are insoluble in water but soluble in organic, nonpolar
solvents. Natural waxes of different types are produced by
plants and animals and occur in petroleum.

Movie Edit Pro is a consumer-
based nonlinear video editing software designed
by German Magix Software GmbH for the PC. It is

principles of non-destructiveness and object
orientation to a video editing program for the first
time.
